Whitewashed buildings with terracotta roofs stack up from the harbour, and the old walled quarter of Castello sits at the top with views in every direction. The cruise terminal is modern and sits close to the city centre, so you can walk into town within minutes. Phoenicians, Romans and Spanish all left their mark here, and the layers show. The National Archaeological Museum in the Castello quarter has an excellent collection of bronzetti, small Nuragic bronze figurines unique to Sardinia. Below the old walls, the Marina district has most of the restaurants and shops. Poetto Beach, a long strip of sand on the eastern edge of the city, is easy to reach by bus. Try culurgiones, handmade Sardinian pasta stuffed with potato, pecorino and mint, at one of the smaller trattorias away from the main tourist drag. ## Your day in Cagliari Optional port shuttle from the berth to the shuttle stop; the centre is a short walk from there. ### Map - **Cruise terminal**: Molo Rinascita, Terminal Crociere di Cagliari (39.20837, 9.10627) - **Shuttle stop** (39.21502, 9.10869) Walking times from the shuttle stop: - Within 30 min: Bastione Saint Remy, Cagliari Cathedral, Roman Amphitheatre of Cagliari, National Archaeological Museum of Cagliari, Torre dell'Elefante, Palazzo Regio Map data with the walking areas: [GeoJSON](https://cruisello.com/api/day-in-port/bb444103-3a2c-4c21-8c4a-5399ce19fddf.geojson) ### What to see #### Bastione Saint Remy Late 19th-century bastion on Castello with a terrace and views over the gulf. 16 min walk.
