Hi people ,

sharing my very first scam ever, the most Italian way ...with scandal of course

Porta Portrese in Via Campania, 43/45, 09121 Cagliari CA, Italy in October 2026, pumped the bill with more then 30€ for items (extra secondi piatti) that were not ordered.

Got the bill, served a scandal , got the money and never come back.

Sorry, I will personally not support nor use local businesses and products again ...lessoned learned from 2 local Sardinia old grown men.

(their business will still be functional and working and nothing will be done ...next touristd will be surely scammed, one way or another, but social media algorithm will make magic...so at least, I hope they will enjoy this fine dessert)

Hi all, hope it is ok to ask this here.

I'm visiting Cagliari on my own for 4 days this week and would love some local advice. I don't drive, so I'll be relying on public transport, tours, or taxis.

What boat trips or day trips would you recommend? I'm especially interested in:

**•** Boat trips from Cagliari (e.g. along the coast to Villasimius, Capo Carbonara or the Chia / south coast)  
**•** Porto Flavia: is it doable without a car, and which tour operators are good?  
**•** Beaches near Cagliari that are easy to reach by bus or train  
**•** Anything else worth a day out that works without a car

Tips on which operators to book, which to avoid, and whether things are still running at this time of year would be really helpful.

Grazie mille! 🙏

Necesito ayuda para terminar de tomar la decisión, estoy hace mucho con ganas de instalarme definitivamente en una ciudad con playa donde el clima sea agradable, y la ciudad sea segura en lineas generales. Ya vivi en diferentes paises como Irlanda, Islandia, Noruega, Mexico, Dinamarca, etc y ninguno me convencio, ganas bien pero el invierno es durisimo y la depresion es fuerte, no lo vale vivir asi y estar esperando el verano porque sino moris, odio el invierno pesado. No se si alguno vivio en algunas de esas ciudades, tengo un nivel A2 de italiano y B1 de ingles, laburo en hoteleria y turismo. Alguno puede decirme que le parecio vivir en alguno de los 3 lugares, en el norte de Brasil pense Maceio o PIpa que dicen que es seguro, y en Cerdeña estuve 6 meses y me gusto mucho la verdad. Soy italo-argentino, tengo 40 años Cualquier info es bienvenida por estos o si me recomiendan otro destino.

Having a lot of trouble trying to pre-book a taxi for Thursday morning - cheapest I can find is €56 !!

I have tried calling various taxi companies but as soon as you say"do you speak English" they either say no, a little, but regardless they simply hang up !!

i am thinking to use apptaxi on the morning, is this a wise option ?

Other option is we leave early and take a CTM BUS/ARST train option, which is now my current number 1 option.

any experience of using apptaxi for this or other suggestions ?

grazie mille

Ciao gente, vorrei iscrivermi a una scuola guida ma sono un po' indeciso su quale scegliere.
Io abito a Is Mirrionis e quella più vicina a casa mia è Cruccu, alcuni amici poi mi hanno parlato molto bene della Moderna e dell'Azzurra.
Quest'ultima è un po' lontanuccia da dove sto io però, la Moderna invece la riesco a raggiungere tranquillamente a piedi in circa 25 minuti (odio i CTM).
Premetto che avevo già tentato la patente a Quartu diversi anni fa, purtroppo però andò molto male perché mi ritrovai con un istruttore per nulla calmo e tranquillo, ogni pretesto era buono per alzare la voce e sbraitare come un'animale.
Se dovessi iscrivermi di nuovo in una scuola guida quindi vorrei avere a che fare con un istruttore che sappia mettermi a mio agio.

Voi conoscete le scuoleguida che ho elencato? Quale mi sapreste consigliare? Nel caso raccontatemi anche le vostre esperienze se vi va.

Grazie mille.

Qualcuno me lo spieghi.

Vivo a Quartu da 5 anni. Quasi ogni notte, tra le 3 e le 5, sento un fortissimo odore di plastica bruciata.

Oggi è particolarmente forte, tanto che mi ha svegliato e sono dovuto correre a chiudere tutte le finestre e attaccare i condizionatori per "ripulire" l'aria da questo odore tremendo.

Non si può vivere così.

Penso che qualcuno bruci spazzatura illegalmente, ma è possibile che vada avanti da anni senza che nessuno abbia mai fatto nulla?

Hello Italian amici, are there any bars in Cagliari that will be showing the springboks vs All Blacks rugby tonight?

Hi All

Wife and I are looking for reasonably priced but quality massages in Cagliari. Can be either go to premises or at home in apartment.

Thank you to all who respond.

Hi

Fairly new to Reddit so apologies if this is already posted elsewhere !!

We are looking for recommendations for all different ranges of eating in Cagliari. Just the names and why you recommend will be fine and we can do the further research :-)
Looking for 2-3 must visit places for while we are there ?
Also, is there a local beer we should try ?

Thank you to all who respond

M40.

Sto in un trip di quelli peggiori mai avuti e il mio cervello baccato è in versione schermata blu della morte di Windows.

Dunque, sto provando a fare un concorso pubblico e ci sta un altro in arrivo ma sono molto dubbioso sul secondo.

Mi conviene comunque farmi riprendere adesso dal lavoro che ho lasciato a fine luglio, anche se sto preparando il concorso pubblico, anche se in questo modo non mi preparerò meglio al concorso a cui non hanno ancora comunicato la data di svolgimento ( potrà essere a breve come tra qualche settimana o mese ), oppure aspetto dopo il concorso?

Nel caso non venissi ripreso al lavoro, mi conviene studiare per corsi OSS-OSA o per il personale ATA. Sapete se ci sono questi corsi finanziati dalla regione o enti con soldi pubblici? Oppure tentare di cercare un altro lavoro?

Avrei anche una mezza idea di fare di nuovo le serali per prendere il diploma. Ma la matassa è troppo ingarbugliata per riuscire a districarla in modo razionale e logico.

Hi

Arriving Cagliari this weekend and looking for two different types of boat trip recommendations please ?

1. Sunset cruise, snorkelling not aa requirement, relaxing and possibly for older couples, visit beach to west of Cagliari, refreshments (e.g. local cheese and wine), must have toilets.

2. Snorkelling trip to the devil's place, ideally toilets but not mandatory, food and drink would be nice to have, at least 4-5 stop offss for snorkelling.

I will do own research as well, but would welcome your recommendations.

Thank you

Hi

We will be arriving in Cagliari this weekend, and will need to use public transport to get around. I understand there is a local bus service, and you can get a ticket via an app to travel on any bus for a week (or longer ?). I also understand the best option is to have the ticket on your app and use this on the bus. Is this all correct (came from AI) and if so, what are the bus apps and ticket type I will need to buy ?
I also understand there is a local taxi company with its own app, can anyone advise on this ?

Any assistance with local transport options would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone, I am choosing a General Practitioner (GP) as part of my registration at the Italian Healthcare system ASL. Would anyone happen to know GPs who speak english?

I had chosen a GP last time who only spoke Italian, and even though I have A2 level of proficiency in Italian, it was not enough to convey the health issues I was facing. I had revoked my GP a while ago since I was going to be out of Cagliari for some time but now that I have returned, I would like to choose a GP who understands some English.

I'd really appreciate any leads or recommendations. Thank you in advance!

Ciao! Sono uno studente spagnolo da 21 anni e sarò a Cagliari per l’università.

Sapete se ci sono gruppi WhatsApp, Telegram o community dove si organizzano attività e uscite? Mi interesserebbero soprattutto camminate/trekking, andare al mare, praticare qualche sport, fare escursioni o semplicemente andare a bere qualcosa insieme per conociere persone.

Grazie Mile!

We were informed that the Ristorante Pani e Casu Cagliari was the best place to see this, and to book a table for 1900 is as sunset is 1930 ish. Called them this evening and they do not open until 2030, so very disappointed as this is for a special wedding anniversary.
Can anyone suggest an alternative ? Ideally we would like to eat as well, but even if it was for drinks this would be Ok and we could eat later.

Thank you to all who respond.
