Cagliari airport Elmas is conveniently located just 10 minutes drive from the city center. Since it is so close to the city you have a spectacular and little frightening view of the city while getting ready to land! It looks sooooooooo close (and in fact, it is)!!!
We arrived there from Stuttgart on tuifly, formerly HLX and hapagfly. The airport was first opened in 1937, but recently renovated and has a very modern apparence.
There is a shuttle bus to Cagliari central bus station every 30 minutes, the fare is 2 . You do have to obtain the tickets before getting on the bus. In Cagliari this is at the ticket counter of the central bus station, but since we were picked up at the airport in Cagliari, I do not know where to get the tickets there. I did read something about a vending machine or look for a kiosk/café/information counter - I am sure you will be helped! Leave a Comment

Flying is the easiest; cheap flights are available from Rome & Milan especially if u can plan in advance ... then rent a car and drive 1 hour in south direction ... u'll reach Villasimius.
In summer 2003 they opened the completely renewd airport "Elmas". Check the website for more infos.

Both Easyjet, TUIfly and Ryanair offer cheap flights to and from Cagliari. If you, as in my case, go there from Finland, the cheapest alternative is to fly Ryanair via Milan (Bergamo). Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

To reach the Castello district (upper part of the old town) of Cagliari you can either walk up and climb a good number of stairs or you can use an ascensore. There are 3 or 4 of them that we have discovered, maybe there are even more!
Those lifts are free of charge and can carry as much as 1000 kg! Good option for travellers who depend on a wheelchair! Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Actually there is no need to use much public transportation, since the city center and the most sights are within walking distance. If you decide to stay a little longer in Cagliari, though, and want to go to some more remote places, the orange buses are what you need!
You can buy the tickets at any of the many kiosks around. One ticket costs 1 (Feburary 2007) and is valid for 90 minutes. You can use any of the buses except for the line #9. Leave a Comment

Cagliari is a quite big town and its transport network is excellent. Bus and metro cover the entire city area, from centre to periferic districts.
Different tickets for any range of needs:
90 minutes ticket: 1.00 euro
2 hours ticket: 1.50 euros
1 day ticket: 2.30 euros
12 trips ticket: 10.00 euros Leave a Comment

Walking definitely is the option to explore the old part of Cagliari - the streets are so narrow that it would be hell having to drive here - besides, if you want to get a feel for a place you just have to walk! Hear the sounds, smell the air, look hither and thither - and have aching feet at the end of the day!!!
That's the way to do it!
There are suggested walking tours through Cagliari, read more about those in my General Tips! Leave a Comment Theme: Other

There are various bus companies for overland travel throughout Sardegna, the most well known is ARST (Azienda Regionale Sarda Trasporti). The bus terminal in Cagliari is right next to the train station and there is quite a busy schedule.
Tickets for the ARST buses (including the shuttle bus to the airport) can be obtained at the ticket counter inside the McDonald's, tickets for other companies in the bus station itself. Leave a Comment

We only used the train once, when we did not have a direct bus connection returning from Barumini to Cagliari. We took the bus to Sanluri Stato and from there caught the train back to Cagliari. The train was on time, quite comfortable, too, so we did not have any complaints!
One thing I remember from previous trainrides in Italy: make sure to validate your ticket before you board the train! There are little yellow punching machines on the platform! Leave a Comment
