Cruise Ports Mediterranean Europe - Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy (PDF Chapter)

This is the Cagliari, Sardinia chapter from Lonely Planet’s Cruise Ports Mediterranean Europe guidebook.

The best way to arrive in Sardinia’s historic capital is by sea, the city rising in a helter-skelter of golden-hued palazzi (mansions), domes and facades up to the rocky centrepiece, Il Castel-lo.

• explore Il Castello, for the views if nothing else
• maps
• head just east of town to buzzing Poetto beach
• getting to and from the port
• while away the rest of the day at the cathedral and archaeological museum, before explor-ing the rest of the city
• food & drink

Coverage includes: Sights, Activities, Shopping, Eating, Drinking & Night-life.
