• Cagliari
• Olbia
• Nurage Su Nuraxi
• Costa Smeralda

Sassari

Sassari, the second-largest city in Sardinia, is a lively university and cultural centre and has beautiful buildings in the Catalan Gothic, Baroque and Neoclassical styles. Stroll down Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, the main street from the Middle Ages, and see the ancient porticoes and windows of Spanish-era houses five centuries ago. The Museo Nazionale Sanna, one of the most important museums in Sardinia, exhibits archaeological collections of Nuragic bronze figures, jewellery, and Roman artefacts. Don't miss the Duomo, the façade of which is a riot (you could say a jumble) of 17th-century ornamental styles created from Milan masonry. A few other churches are worth seeing when they are open, but the most memorable of all stands almost alone in a landscape of grazing sheep about 12 kilometres south of Sassari. The black and white striped tower soars over the church and the ruined cloister of the Santissima Trinità di Saccargia, the most beautiful example of Pisan architecture in Sardinia. If you are lucky enough to find it open, there are frescoes from the 13th century.

Castelsardo

The little fishing village, with its pastel-coloured hilltop houses, pales compared to the medieval village within the above walls. At the top is a 12th-century castle with a good museum exploring the local artisan speciality of basket weaving. The narrow streets around the castle wind steeply downhill and break into steps at the steepest points. On the doors, you can see women weaving baskets with intricate patterns. The view from above stretches in both directions along the coast and into Corsica. The cathedral, in the small square below, houses one of Sardinia's most beautiful 15th-century altarpieces, delicate wood carvings in the choir, and a crypt. Its bell tower started as a beacon.

Alghero

Alghero is a trip to another world. Different in language, they speak a Catalan-Spanish dialect, different in colours and culture. Spanish-looking architecture is the main feature of the city centre. The beautiful old churches and the numerous terrestrial sanctuaries typical of the place are worth a visit. Fascinating archaeological sites from the Nuragic period can be visited anywhere in the city. More than 30 beautiful beaches welcome tourists from all over the world. Sandy beaches, rocky coasts, islets and natural parks complete the beauty of Alghero and its territory. You can also take short trips from Alghero to charming places like Sassari, Porto Torres and Asinara.

Tharros

At this rocky point, walk through the stone remains of the Phoenician, Carthaginian and Roman cultures and try to imagine what it was like when the Roman streets were full of shops under your feet, where all you see are foundations and doors. The columns of the baths remain together with parts of the aqueduct and the temple; The amphitheatre overlooks the sea. On the hill above, there is a Phoenician necropolis. To get an idea of ​​what archaeologists have found here, visit the excellent Museo Civico Giovanni Marongiu in the town of Cabras, which displays carved stone stelae, burial urns, and other finds placed as they were initially found. You can see more of the treasures discovered here at the Museo Antiquarium Arborense in the small town of Oristano, also nearby. The Cathedral of Santa Maria in Oristano dates back to the Middle Ages,

Cagliari

Most tourists start their visit in the island's capital, stopping at least to reach the bastion of Saint Remy from Piazza Della Costituzione. Built to defend the Castello district, the site of the beautiful cathedral and fortress of those who controlled the city at the time, they now offer a historical and visual perspective with expansive views over the city and the bay. The southern coast of this island offers tourists an idea of ​​the infinite diversity of Sardinia. From the medieval streets and high bastions of Cagliari, it is only a few kilometres to the ruins of the ancient city of Nora, where the Phoenicians, Carthaginians and Romans had their trading posts. Head east from the city, and in minutes you can sunbathe on one of the legendary beaches that make Sardinia one of Europe's most popular summer playgrounds.

Olbia

Not far from the coastal path, exploring Olbia is one of the best things to do in Sardinia if you love history. Olbia may be small, but it is full of historical places to explore. Once you get here, visit the Archaeological Museum of Olbia. There you can find everything from Roman ships to ancient artefacts. It's a fantastic little place to explore when you feel like spending some time out of the sun.
