Discover Cagliari

Teave

Hello there!
Are you ready to discover Cagliari?
With this playlist you will be able to walk around the city and discover the beauty of it while taking fun pictures, completing little challenges or talking with the locals. The more you go out of your comfort zone, the more you’ll discover the amazing secrets that the city has to offer.
﻿
Some rules and suggestions:
If you're in a multicultural group, try to only speak English, as much as possible, even if you’re accompanied by an Italian teammate. We encourage you to take turns in talking with the locals, too. But if you're in Cagliari as a volunteer or anyway trying to learn Italian, do try to speak as much Italian as possible, instead!
People will usually be open to tourists and foreigners, but not many know English well. If you find a local who can’t speak English too well, try looking for another one: younger people will usually be more comfortable with the language, and anyone who works with tourists a lot will be able to communicate. But if you're learning Italian, this is a great opportunity to practice the language!
Some landmarks may require you to pay a ticket to enter. You’re not required to get inside unless you wish to, pictures from outside will be more than enough!
Being able to orient oneself and read a map is a crucial part of these activities. A little guidance from any local members of the team or friends is acceptable, but try to find your own way. Sometimes getting a little lost leads to the best experiences!
You’ll need constant internet access, in order to complete this playlist. Sometimes you’ll be asked to use some digital online tools, and Google Maps will be your friend throughout the tour. If you don’t have internet access through your phone’s mobile data, turn on your wi-fi and look for “Free Wi-Fi Ca” network. Much of the city centre is covered by this open wi-fi network that allows you to navigate for 3 consecutive hours for free by just accepting their terms and conditions.
﻿
So what are you waiting for?

Teave

You are in Italy and there is no better way to get to know the culture than trying some typical food and beverage!
Eating, in Sardinia, means family, tradition and plates of typical Sardinian cuisine, much like in the rest of central and southern Italy; a reason to spend time with your dear ones, to laugh and tell the latest news, sometimes even a chance to discuss and argue in pure Italian style.
﻿
Your tasks for this activity are all related to food and drink, and for that, there’s no better place to roam through in Cagliari than the historical neighborhood of Marina: one of the 4 historical districts of the city centre, Marina (also called Lapola) overlooks the main harbour and used to be the place that all dock workers and seamen called their home.
Originally built in the 13th Century as a hub for trading and stocking goods, in time it grew to become a true landmark for tourists, with its abundance and variety of typical restaurants and souvenir shops.
﻿
For this activity, you can start from Via Roma and navigate through the winding streets going up toward Bastione di Saint Remy and Piazza Yenne, or do the opposite and explore the area going down toward the sea.
We recommend the use of Google Maps for finding your way.

Hint: if you don’t have internet access through your phone’s mobile data, turn on your wi-fi and look for “Free Wi-Fi Ca” network. Much of the city centre is covered by this open wi-fi network that allows you to navigate for 3 consecutive hours for free by just accepting their terms and conditions.
﻿
You’ll have to complete at least 2 of the 3 listed tasks in order to claim your badge.
