Stampace

While visiting Stampace, you might make a stop by sights like Port of Cagliari and Piazza Yenne.

Stampace
On the Sardinian dialect Cagliari is called Casteddu – castle. The first thing you will see when you arrive at the center of the old town are definitely ramparts built in the 19th century. Once you climb the stairs you will come to a huge terrace with wooden benches and tall palm trees. What you should not miss is sunset. It would be a shame to come in Cagliari and not take a look at sunset from the Bastione Saint Remy. #goldenhour

Mostly friendly community, but we felt that some were anti American tourists. Overall we had a lovely time and would definitely visit again.

Cagliari is an excellent two day city - I recommend going there at the end of your trip, for the balance of your trip go to the Villasimius area - come to Cagliari at the end because it is 15 minute drive to the airport where many flights are early

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

I found all of Sardinia to my liking. I really liked Olbia, but I like smaller cities. Cagliari has a lot to offer and I did not allot enough time for it.
