Why visit
Cagliari is Sardinia's capital for hilltop views, markets, beaches, flamingo lagoons, old quarters, and routes toward Su Nuraxi or the south coast. It works when the island trip needs a real urban base.
When to avoid
Do not visit Cagliari expecting every worthwhile stop to be close together or easy to improvise. For Cagliari, the practical constraints are part of the itinerary: hours, transport, weather, crowds, and the distance between worthwhile areas. Keep Cagliari practical: fewer cross-town moves, confirmed hours, and paid transport when it saves time or saves time. If the main interest is one nearby site, it may be better to treat Cagliari as a base rather than the whole destination.
