About this tour
This session walks through Marina, once the harbourside home of Cagliari's merchants and now a lively district of small restaurants. You see a few buildings still carrying signs from their original trades and the narrow streets filling up in the evening. The camera stays on public streets throughout.
I walk at an easy pace, pointing out the old trade signs and a few architectural details along the way, and take questions as we go. I send a short note on the district's history afterwards.
It suits anyone who wants to see how a working harbour district became a lively evening one. It also pairs well with the basilica 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
