Cagliari is a beautiful. There's lots to see and experience. Check out the Old City, as well as getting something to eat and drink (so many eateries to enjoy). If you are porting here, there's lots to do within walking distance of the Porto di Cagliari. If you're cruising and stopping at this port, you'll need to take a shuttle to the city. You cannot walk from the dock to the city proper. Fortunately, the shuttle is FREE and a short ride (5 minutes tops). When you're returning to the ship, the shuttle is still FREE. There is a pedestrian area where people can wait for the shuttles. IMPORTANT TIP: Make sure you know when the last shuttle runs (they don't run late FYI - the day I was there, the last shuttle was 7pm or 19:00). read more

Cagliari and its port just have a good feel to them. What more is there to say? There are daily ferries operated by Tirrenia and other lines going to all sorts of places, including Civitavecchia (port for Rome), Naples, Palermo, Genova, and even Tunis! There are also cruise ships calling on Cagliari from time to time, including some of the well known ocean liners. The naturally air conditioned summer evenings make it an ideal place to stroll, eat a gelato, people watch, or some combination of all of these things. The atmosphere is relaxed. Naples it is not. The only reason I'm deducting a star is because the area does not really hold any noteworthy hotels, though they are decent. There is one very good hotel at the east end of the port where Via Roma sort of makes a bend and merges with other major streets as it heads toward Il Poetto, but I don't remember that hotel's name. At any rate, Cagliari is essentially a very pleasant city in a beautiful setting and with a laid back vibe. You won't need a vacation from your vacation in Sardinia. Not a chance. read more
