Cagliari
in Southern Sardinia
For many the starting point of any Sardinia road trip, the island’s capital deserves more than a quick in-and-out. Stay a little, wander La Marina, linger over aperitivo, and catch flamingos drifting through the salt pans by Poetto.

Opening times
Framed by colourful Bali-inspired parasols and raffia-clad interiors, the team behind Caffè Svizzero has created one of the city's most stylish spots for an aperitivo. Overlooking the harbour, it's the perfect place to linger at sunset with a generous charcuterie board and a fizzy Aperol Spritz as boats drift in and out of the marina. It's equally well suited for a grilled lunch or one of their breakfast pizzette sfoglia between sightseeing.
