Cagliari
Cagliari is Sardinia's capital, a favourite with holidaymakers,
and biggest town with a busy industrial port. Despite its size the
old centre is charmingly compact, contained within the city walls
and Pisan fortifications. The main attractions are the National
Archaeological Museum, which contains prehistoric tombs and other
significant artefacts from the Punic and Roman periods, the
impressive cathedral, and a smattering of Roman ruins. The suburb
of Poetto has a four mile (6km) stretch of sandy beach with some
small bars nearby. The famous nuraghe of Su Nuraxi near Barumini
are within easy reach of the town.
Information & Facts
Language
The official language of Italy is Italian. English is
understood in the larger cities but not in the more remote parts of
the country.
Money
The Euro (EUR) is the official currency, which is divided into
100 cents. Those arriving in Italy with foreign currency can obtain
Euros through any bank, ATM or bureaux de change. ATMs are
widespread. Travellers cheques can be exchanged with ease in the
large cities, not so in the smaller towns. Credit cards are
accepted in upmarket establishments and shops around the cities.
Banks are closed on weekends, but tend to have better rates than
casas de cambios.
