Cagliari 🇮🇹 | The Capital of Sardinia – A Place You’ll Want to Visit

📍 Cagliari, Sardinia’s Capital The streets of Cagliari are lined with purple-blossomed jacaranda trees 💜, a rare and romantic sight in Europe. At the heart of the old town lies Castello, the city’s historic fortress, exuding an air of timeless elegance. Right across from the castle, you’ll find Antico Caffè (est. 1855), a century-old café where every corner is Instagram-worthy. ☕✨ Their spritz costs €8, and a coffee gelato is just €4—reasonable for such a prime location and heritage spot, and the taste? Delizioso! 🍽️ Must-Try Sardinian Flavors: Pane Carasau (crispy Sardinian flatbread) Porceddu (suckling pig) – Pro tip: Book a day in advance! I reserved mine for the return trip, and oh, was it worth it—crispy skin, tender meat, absolutely heavenly! 😋 (The locals recommended a home-style restaurant, a bit far but perfect if you’re driving.) Plus, Sardinia introduced me to so many unique pasta shapes—pure joy for foodies! 🍝 🏨 Stay in the City Center for easy access to churches, charming alleys, grand arcades, and the bustling marina where massive cruise ships dock. 🚢 🚗 Day Trips from Cagliari: On the way to other towns, don’t miss the salt flats where flocks of wild pink flamingos wade gracefully—my first time seeing them in person! 💕 "Flamingo duo standing in the water—so magical!" 😃 #SardiniaTravel #SardiniaFood #Cagliari #ItalianSeasideGetaway #EuropeHiddenGems
