Se you want to disconnect and you don't know where to go e Ryanair continue to send you newsletters on flights for 3 euros or 5 euros, if you have always wanted to go to Sardinia but don't necessarily want to be squeezed into a huge ship with hundreds of stressed families and on the verge of a nervous breakdown on a trip to interminable ferry, Cagliari is your destination.
Cagliari is perfect to disconnect from the routine: one hour flight from many Italian cities with the long beach of the city and theancient castle to visit is ideal for lovers. With its still smoky and somewhat anarchic premises and the tango in the street, it is good for those who always dream of revolution.
If you love the live music independent Cagliari has a real music scene: from rock to electronics. This is one mini guide essential and somewhat alternative for non-conformist tourists. Advice before departure: only one piece of hand baggage strictly of the dimensions specified in the boarding pass and no envelopes or other bags. Ryanair has now finished doing charity.

To eat. There food quality is great and is full of restaurants, taverns, more or less typical and more or less chic inns. The most popular street food is the pizza by the slice which in some places is really delicious and the kebab is the most popular foreign food. Here are our preferences with a good one rapporto qualità / prezzo to avoid tricks and pasta with a lot of oil and little bottarga. The restaurants mentioned will not make you spend more than € 20/25 each. THE'White Goose in the Marina district in via Napoli is run by a young couple, it offers ethnic dishes and an excellent fine pizza. For the fresh fish which in Sardinia is often cooked simply on the grill, we recommend the Starfish of Montecristo in Via Sardegna, 140 in the Marina district.
Again for fish we recommend the tavern The whale in Via Santa Gilla, 125. You will be surprised by the freshness of the fish and the lightness of the bill. It is not possible to book. For those wishing to try a little typical Sardinian cuisine without spending much and tasting a bit of everything, we point out instead the Amendments restaurant in via Sassari.
For the street food you are spoiled for choice, the Cagliari specialty is the pizza when cut. Pizza 74 in via Dante is also recommended, the post-concert meeting after midnight but open all day. On the side walls you will certainly find your next concert. If you prefer a sandwich or chips and beer the historic Cagliari restaurant that has same tables for 20 years and the Talking Blackbird in Corso Vittorio Emanuele. Delicious sandwiches, hundreds of beers and an informal atmosphere. Among the new places to eat a piadina or a slice of pizza is the Locanda Caddeo in via Sassari has the new minimalist design of the Soru era
