Travel information
Airport travel guide

The capital of Sardinia, Cagliari is also one of the Mediterranean island’s most popular tourist attractions. In addition to being home to the largest airport, it is also known for its art, architecture, and delicious cuisine. These are four of the most interesting attractions in and around it:
- Amphitheater. Dating back to the 2nd century AD, Cagliari’s Roman Amphitheater is unique because it was partially carved out of rock. Potentially housing 8,000 spectators, it remains one of the most impressive structures in the area despite being abandoned for more than 1,500 years. Fans of even more ancient history will also enjoy a visit to Tuvixeddu, a Punic necropolis.
- San Saturnino Basilica. Another ancient site that’s popular with tourists, this basilica dates back to the 5th century, making it one of the oldest churches on the island. It has been named after St. Saturninus, a Sardinian saint who was allegedly martyred for his faith.
- Poetto. Located on Sardinia’s southern coast, Cagliari is surrounded by many beautiful beaches. Many, like the famous Poetto Beach which is located along the sandy strip that separates the Mediterranean sea from a marshy lagoon, are located within the city limits, while others are easily accessible with a rental car.
- Cagliari Cathedral. One of the most famous, and most imposing, buildings of the Sardinian capital, the Cathedral of Cagliari dates back to the 13th century and is an example of the Pisan-Romanesque architecture characteristic of the city. The cathedral is known both for its impressive facade and the religious architecture that is displayed inside it.
