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.
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.
