Discover Cagliari

Sobre

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?
Choose an activity to start with, and complete at least 2 tasks for each of the five activities to earn your final badge!

Cagliari is full of wonders and places you wouldn’t expect!
To be so close to the sea is one of its most attractive features and in the city you can also find several parks and gardens. What do you think about collecting this badge and starting to discover the natural beauties of the city?
Ajò! (i.e. “Let’s go!” in Sardinian)
﻿
For this activity, you can start from the harbour and go exploring through Marina and the Passeggiata di Su Siccu from there.
﻿
﻿
Otherwise, if you’re tackling this activity after the first one in the Discover Cagliari playlist, it might be more convenient for you to go uphill first and then visit the harbour.
﻿
﻿
We’re attaching the maps of these two suggested itineraries in the resources section, but you're free to make your own way!
We recommend the use of Google Maps for finding your way, but be aware that there's a "secret" way to reach Passeggiata Su Siccu from the harbour that Google won't tell you about. Look at the pictures above, the red arrows will guide you.
﻿
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 4 listed tasks in order to claim your badge.

Tarefas

Task no.1

Evidence verified by: one activity organiser

Cagliaritani (the citizens of Cagliari) love to decorate their streets with potted plants - sometimes to an extreme degree!
﻿
Use Google Maps to find either “Via Stretta” or “Via Giovanni Antonio Piccioni”.
While there, use Google Lens (or another app to identify plants) to discover the name of at least 2 plants that you can see.
Take screenshots of the results and upload them here as evidence.

Task no.2

Evidence verified by: one activity organiser

Where there's the sea, there are boats and ships, and in Cagliari you'll find a huge variety of them.
Go to the harbour and take a picture of the weirdest and coolest looking boat that you can see, or the one that you like the most - then upload it as evidence!
Is your favourite a sailing boat, or a fancy yacht? Maybe it's a big cruise ship, or maybe a small fishing boat...?

Task no.3

Evidence verified by: one activity organiser

Find “Passeggiata di Su Siccu”, the promenade that from the main harbour leads to the smaller fishermen harbour called Su Siccu.
Take a panoramic picture of the sea-view and upload it as evidence.
Sometimes, if you’re really lucky, you can even see dolphins playing in the waves around the docks...

Task no.4

Evidence verified by: one activity organiser

Find the flamingos!
Did you know that Cagliari hosts one of the biggests colonies of pink flamingos in the Mediterranean? They’re a symbol of the city, so you can’t really go without finding at least one!
﻿
Take a picture of them, if you can spot them flying above the city, or look for one of the many flamingo souvenirs that are sold in town and take a selfie with your favourite one - then upload it as evidence.
﻿
Hint: souvenir shops in Marina are a good place to start.
