Transport Map:
By car
It's really difficult to get parking and drive in rush hour even if road network has been recently improved.
On foot
The best thing you can do is walk through the old city and discover it. Almost everything you have to see in a quick visit of Cagliari can be joined by a pleasant little walk.
You'll be better off wearing comfortable shoes, though. The old town of Cagliari lies in a somewhat steep hill, so you'll be walking uphill or downhill most of the time.
There are clean public toilets in the building on the Pontile Sanita ferry wharf, near the bus terminal.

Things to do
Beach,Sun,Summer
Cagliari is known as "The City of Sun", so you must have a full relaxing day on the wonderful Poetto Beach. This 8 kilometers long beach will excite you and is perfectly equipped to satisfy every your wish. You can get here by buses PF,PQ,3P,9P.
The beach is divided to free parts and 'beach clubs' that charge you with entry fee and rent you umbrellas, deck chairs etc. Prices are around €3 / entry, about €12 for a umbrella, one deck chair and one sun bed. The 'club beaches' clean the sand each night and provide you with showers and toilets too.
Eat
There's a LOT of restaurants in the old town area, and you probably will not make a bad selection anyway since the food seems to be top class at least if you enjoy seafood. A dinner for two with little house wine, There's a good pizza place tucked away in the side streets in the Marina district, l'Oca Bianca. You should make a reservation, though.
There's a few places to enjoy lunch salads at the Piazza Yenne, and a wonderful Gelateria if you don't want to eat too heavily during the day. These places double up as decent eateries by night.
