2 days in Cagliari Itinerary

The capital of Sardinia, Cagliari is spread out over seven hills and still bears the marks of its past conquerors, including the Phoenicians, Carthaginians, and Romans.

On the 27th (Mon), kick back and relax at Poetto and then enjoy the sand and surf at Spiaggia di Mari Pintau. Here are some ideas for day two: contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Cathedral of Santa Maria, then contemplate the long history of Santuario e Basilica di Bonaria, then take your sightseeing to a higher altitude at Monte Urpinu, and finally make a trip to Bastione di Saint Remy.
