Castello di San Michele Cagliari — Attraction in Cagliari

Castle is on the top of the almost tree-less hill / dont take the hike in the middle of sunny day! ;) The views are top and the walk from the bus took us around 20mins to the top including taking pictures. The castle entrance fee was 4E and additional 2E for guide. Our guy was David - and the be honest without the guide it is pointless to go there, since all descriptions are in italian (unless you speak italian of course). We enjoyed the visit and many interesting information about the castle and sardinia itself. The building is not that big, so dont expect like huge...

Very small castle located on the highest part of Cagliari. The walk up to the castle is a KILLER, and there is no shade at all or someplace to sit, so if visiting during spring/summer, water is a necessity. I would suggest going by car as there is a parking area just a few meters away. Having said all that, the view up the hill is marvellous. The castle itself is very small, and it showcases life during variois periods, especially what people used to wear along...

I'm not sure why I walked all the way here (almost a 2 mile walk for me, one way) on a hot day to see this. I don't understand the high ratings either. It's cool to see a castle built in the 13th century, but there's very little to see, very little documented, and it's basically an open room, no exposition right now, and some stone walls. It's cheap to visit money-wise (3 eur), but if you value your time, it's not a good use of time. The views aren't...
