🇬🇧 Cagliari 5-Star Review | Not Your Typical Italian City!

Before arriving, I’d read endless horror stories about pickpockets and scams in Italy but Cagliari broke all stereotypes! After 4 days/3 nights exploring every corner, I can confirm: this Sardinian capital feels too safe to be Italy, like a Mediterranean safety paradise! 🌟 Safety Highlights Zero theft incidents: Wandered with my camera in crowded markets, empty alleys, and even Poetto Beach at night—never felt uneasy. Locals = angels: A nonna walked me to my destination; a chef gifted limoncello when he heard I was solo traveling! Visible police presence: Frequent patrols in Castello district 👮, 10x safer than Rome/Milan. 🏡 Solo-Traveler Friendly Perks 1️⃣ Bus riders offer seats to tourists (how sweet!) 2️⃣ Restaurant menus list all fees (even water!) transparently 3️⃣ B&Bs provide hand-drawn safety maps🗺️ marking safe zones 📸 Insta-Worthy & Safe Spots Bastione Saint Remy: Packed at sunset = perfect for solo photos Via Roma: Boutiques with English-speaking staff (no pushy sales!) Mercato di San Benedetto: Fishmongers help pick the freshest clams🦪 🍝 No-Scam Food Scene Ate at 4 places with zero rip-offs: Trattoria L'Assassina: Seafood platter weighed openly ⚖️ Pizzeria Ciro: Uniform pizza prices (Margherita=6€) 🍕 Gelateria Duomo: Gelato scoops piled like mountains⛰️ (2.5€/2 flavors) #ItalyRedefined #SoloTravelSafe #SardiniaGem
