Exploring the island of Sardinia, you are very likely to go to its capital first, Cagliari. This is the center of tourism in Sardinia and all year-round, the place is abuzz with activities and tourist attractions that will keep you entertained any time you visit.

Cagliari means Castle and around it you will find the fortress that was constructed to shield it from foreign invaders passing thru the waters of the sea. There are 2 watchtowers here called the St. Pancras; and the Elephant Towers.

Discovering Cagliari is fairly easy with taxis and buses available for most of the day. However, if you’re thinking of going beyond the walls of Cagliari having a car hire for your use is best. Car hires in Cagliari include Avis, Budget, Alamo, Dollar Thrifty, Sardinya Rent a Car, Autoeuropa and Eurorent, to name a few. In Cagliari Airport, car hire companies usually have booths or desks.

For instance, if you want to explore the neighboring town of Oristano, driving there with your own car hire is better than taking public commute. This town is filled with sites and monuments that tell the story of Sardinia.

You might also want to drive down the archeological site where dug-up pieces of Sardinia’s past are on display.
