10 Self-Guided Tours & Rentals in Cagliari That You Shouldn't Miss

February 9, 2022 Stefan Strunk

Sardinia’s largest city (with a little over 150,000 people) and its capital for centuries, Cagliari on the island’s south coast offers the perfect mix of recreation and exploration options. The five-mile-long Poetto Beach is among the best city beaches on the Mediterranean, and together with the adjacent Marina Piccola, satisfies all manner of sun and sea pursuits. Seekers of culture will love Cagliari’s old district, Castello, where 13th-century towers still guard the medieval city walls.

We enjoyed every minute of this excellent tour. The perfect way to see the sights of Cagliari's hilly streets and also include the flamingos and the castle of San Michele. The driver was prompt, friendly, informative and guided us safely through the city. Even though it was not high flamingo season, we did see quite a few and enjoyed seeing the reserved area created for the flamingos. The best part of the morning was driving down ancient tiny streets that were just wide enough for a tuk tuk but not a car. We would not have had this experience without doing the tuk tuk and would highly recommend this tour.

We originally booked a one hour Tuk Tuk city tour with Alberto but liked the tour so much that we extended the tour to another hour to take in the beach and the flamingoes. Albert was a brilliant, knowledgeable, fun guide and gave us some great insider knowledge on Cagliari. The Tuk Tuk tour is a great, fun, original way to see the city and I would thoroughly recommend it.

Mauro was an excellent guide - very punctual and to be honest it's the only way to see the Old Town and much more if you are based at Poetto Beach. The nearest I can describe the experience is like being in one of the Mini's in the Italian Job! Nipping in and out of unmissable narrow streets you would possibly ignore if you were on foot and you certainly couldn't get to with anything bigger than the Tuk Tuk. Mauro is a font of knowledge about the City and the Tuk Tuk was really comfortable - with its open top and seating for two it is the perfect Covid safe vehicle. I have rarely had so much fun getting an overview of the City. This is not to be missed!

We had a great time with our fabulous sail around the Gulf of Cagliari. Leaving from the Port on a great Sailboat, we didn't realize how beautiful the Gulf was until we get away from the port and sailed around Cagliari.

10. Baking bread experience. Learn how to make traditional Sardinian bread.

Dall’Ape alla Zappa, Via E. D'Arborea, 1, 09048 Sinnai CA, Italy Sardinia To Do - The difference between visiting and experiencing

I was born around flours, inside a bakery with the smell of freshly baked bread. My Dad is a baker, my brother too: I love bread and I want to share my knowledge with you. How many types of bread we produce in our land? Together we will discover the dough, the shapes and the stories of bread in Sardinia. How is the experience? The First step consists in knowing the recipe and the different types of flours. Next, we prepare the dough and then we realize a variety of typical bread shapes, specifically: “su coccoi”. At the end, we cook the bread in the oven and we taste it together with some cheeses and a glass of wine.

Inclusions: Coffee and/or Tea, Food and drinks, Pick-up and drop off from and to Cagliari and the metropolitan area., Water, Wifi

Exclusions: Pick-up and drop-off outside of the area of Cagliari are not included in the price.

A brilliant experience and one of the highlights of our trip! Thank you to Isabella, Valerio, Rosanna and the rest of the family for hosting us in your beautiful home - We truly felt welcomed as friends. We had so much fun learning about Sardinian culture and making traditional culurgiones and malloreddus. We enjoyed coffee, breads, cold cuts and cheeses with honey, and our pasta with wine and profiteroles for dessert. We couldn't have asked for a more authentic experience. We also followed Isabella and Valerio's recommendations for Osteria Kobuta and Baccu Cardu, which were amazing. Highly, highly recommend! (We'd love to come again!)
