About this tour
This session looks at the Bastione di Saint Remy, a monumental white terrace and staircase linking Cagliari's hilltop old town with the streets below. You see the staircase up close and the wide view over the lower city and harbour from the top terrace. The camera stays on this public monument throughout.
I climb the staircase slowly, explaining why it was built the way it was, then spend time at the top pointing out landmarks visible from the terrace. I take questions throughout and send a short note on the view afterwards.
It suits anyone who wants one of the best open views over Cagliari without a long walk. It also works well right after a Castello walls session nearby.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included
- Internet connection
- Travel to the city

The camera climbs the wide white staircase of the Bastione, and I explain how the monument was built to link the hilltop Castello district with the streets below.

From the top terrace, you see the lower city and the harbour spread out below, and I point out a few landmarks visible from this one spot.

Time to ask anything about Cagliari: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 3 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Malloreddus alla campidanese and Marina, worth a slower look.
Good to know
