Cagliari Walking Tour
Cagliari, Italy
Why Walk Cagliari
Cagliari climbs from its harbor to the fortified Castello quarter, where Pisan towers and Spanish-era ramparts frame panoramic views across the Gulf of Cagliari. The city layers Phoenician, Roman, Pisan, Spanish, and Italian history into a compact and walkable center. The Roman amphitheater, carved from limestone, still hosts summer performances. Just outside the city, the Molentargius lagoon is home to a permanent colony of pink flamingos — one of the most unexpected sights in any Mediterranean capital.
