Best time to visit
Sardinia shines between May and September, when weather is warm and dry. If you prefer fewer crowds and milder temperatures, April and October are solid choices. Winters are mild, perfect for those who don't mind moderate cold and fancy quiet beaches. Pick based on your heat tolerance and whether you're after beach time or cultural exploration.
What to do when you arrive
Cagliari, the capital, blends urban beaches with museums and local neighbourhoods. Sardinia's coast is the real draw: white sandy beaches at La Maddalena, dramatic cliffs at Orosei, hidden coves dotted around the island. Taste malloreddus (local pasta), swim in crystal waters and explore stone villages inland. The airport is 7 km from the city centre, well connected by bus and taxi.
