From the Umberto I terrace of the Bastione di Saint Remy you can enjoy a wonderful landscape of the city and Queen Margareth avenue. Continuing straight along Fossario’s street, on the right you can admire the Gulf of Angels, the roofs of the Villanova district, the ponds, Mountain Urpinu and the hill of Bonaria.

Proceeding straight you arrive at the Mercede Mundula square which offers a general view of the Villanova district with Mountain Urpinu in the background and on the left the Molentargius lagoon and the hinterland villages.

From the Devil's Saddle, on the promontory of Saint Elia, you can catch a spectacular view that ranges from Poetto Boulevard to Capo Carbonara and to the open sea.

It can be reached through a green path, which crosses particular areas for its archaeological, environmental, ecological and landscape values.

It is possible to identify several stopping points on which it is worth pausing and from which you can admire: in the north - north west direction, the front of the quarries (Roman origin, up to the 1900s).

The open sea, the Signal Tower with the Cala Mosca Lighthouse, the canal port, the industrial area of Macchiareddu and Cagliari itself, botanical peculiarities such as the Saint Peter’s Palm, various olive trees and junipers.

One of the most interesting points is a real natural terrace on Cagliari, the Poetto, the salt pans. On the ridge it is possible to completely observe both the view to the north, that is, the long strip of land between the sea and the salt pans that characterizes one of the Cagliari landscapes par excellence, the Poetto beach; while towards the south the view can range over the entire promontory.

The first natural element easily perceivable is the natural spur of the Devil's Saddle, then the Saint Elia’s Tower, the Poetto Tower, the ruins of the military installations of the Second World War and the remains of the monastic complex of S. Elia, where they came the martyr's relics found.

A little further on you walk in the cliff abovethe Pigeons Cave. Following the ancient Roman road system, there is the Punic cistern.

In another interesting point you can dominate the entire natural canyon, rich in Mediterranean vegetation, excavated from an ancient stream that has shaped the territory.

Finally, you can admire Cala Fighera and Cala Mosca. The entire naturalistic and archaeological path is passable by anyone who is used to walking, just having a pair of trekking shoes and a supply of water.

From Embankment Avenue you can admire the chain of roofs of the Villanova district, Mountain Urpinu and the Campidano on one side, the Devil's Saddle and the Basilica of Bonaria on the other.

The Embankment of Cagliari is a panoramic walk that runs along Queen Hellen street, a long tree-lined avenue overlooked by prestigious Liberty-style villas. It starts in Giovanni Marghinotti’s square, near the Bastion of Saint Remy and the Gardens Under the Walls, and ends at the entrance to the Public Gardens of the Municipal Art Gallery.

The walk, which runs along the walls of the historic district of Castello to the west and the housing complex of Villanova to the east, is one of the most suggestive panoramic points of the city, from which it is possible to admire some of the most significant works of local street art. It mixes the historical, architectural and artistic elements that the city offers with the shopping streets Garibaldi street and Manno street.

Buoncammino is a tree-lined avenue that connects Weapons Square in the north and Christina's door in the south, a suggestive entrance to the Castello district, near the Saint Pancrazio Tower and the Museum Citadel. The urban green of pines, cypresses and elms is interspersed with several dining options and comfortable benches from which you can admire the landscape that dominates the whole city at 360 degrees, which goes east from Villanova to Poetto and from the pond of Molentargius to the mountains of the Seven Brothers, and west from Mountain Arcosu to Saint Gilla, and finally to the Roman amphitheatre. In the evening along Buoncammino avenue you can admire the extraordinary spectacle of the sunset over the Saint Gilla’s lagoon.

From the top of MonteUrpinu you can enjoy one of the most beautiful landscapes of Cagliari. The view extends from the pond of Molentargius towards the east, full of pink flamingos, to the city and its port to the west.

From the terrace of Europa boulevard (100 meters above sea level), you can enjoy a unique panoramic view: Castle district with its walls, ponds, the Gulf of Angels, the Saint Benedetto’s district and the hinterland for many kilometers, up to the mount of the Seven Brothers. It is one of the most popular places during the night of Saint Laurence and in general to admire the wonder of the moon and stars in the sky. Do not miss a walk in the homonymous city park, with its ponds, children's playground and many beautiful peacocks in freedom.

The park of Monte Claro, together with the caves of the promontory of Capo Sant'Elia, is the site of the oldest human settlements in the province of Cagliari, dating back to the Neolithic period. It is one of the 7 hills of Cagliari, (7 like the hills of Rome, Istanbul and Lisbon); the other six are: Castello, Tuvumannu, Tuvixeddu, Monte Urpinu, Colle di Bonaria, Colle di San Michele.

Monte Claro  is today one of the most popular public parks in the city, especially for sports activities such as jogging, or to climb to the top of the hill through very suggestive green paths, to reach the ancient ruins and the renowned colourful rose garden, the panoramic provincial library and an area with outdoor gymnastic equipment. From this panoramic point you can enjoy a magnificent view of the city, the hinterland and the surrounding mountains. In the plain part of the park there is a large modern fountain and a pond, crossed by a pedestrian bridge, where live several geese, ducks, turtles and fish of various types and sizes. In the park there are also an outdoor theatre, a bowling alley and a play area for children. During the summer the park remains open until midnight, and cultural and entertainment events are often organized.

From the hill of Tuvixeddu you have a wide view of the western side of Cagliari which ranges up to Sarroch. From Bainsizza street, in the middle of the hill, you can also take a long naturalistic-panoramic walk and enjoy a beautiful landscape of the entire park and the breathtaking view of the Saint Gilla’s lagoon. The path in the upper part of the hill has two areas equipped for rest and relaxation and one for shows and events. The park is monitored and the staff provides information leaflets and maps of the area.

The Hill of Saint Michael is at such a height that it makes it visible even from numerous kilometers outside the city, and from the top of which it is possible to admire the whole city and the hinterland, from the port and the pond of Saint Gilla, to the peaks of the Seven Brothers, from the coast of the Angels Gulf to the hills that delimit the Campidano plain.
The panoramic position of the castle is accompanied by its historical importance, which qualifies it as one of the most significant monuments of the city of Cagliari.

The park of the Hill of Saint Michael has an area of about 250 thousand square meters of lawn, pine forest and paths for jogging and physical activity. Next to the main entrance, there is another entrance that does a complete tour around the hill, very popular among runners. Along the way there are also tools for muscle exercises and stretching, as well as several fountains. Also, in this lower part of the hill, there is an area dedicated to dogs with refreshment points for the four-legged friends and large spaces and bushes among which they can relax.

Continuing towards the top of the hill we find the play area for children, with swings and slides, many trees that offer shade to the benches and flower beds. Another path leads from here to the lift which leads directly to the top of the hill. A little further up, we find the amphitheatre area, preceded by a large panoramic green lawn complete with benches, a refreshment point and toilets, overlooking Molentargius and the Gulf of Cagliari.                                                                                                                                                                      The route continues on the dirt road inside a pine forest that leads to the top where there is a restaurant-pizzeria, open all year round and which also carries out the shuttle service from the foot of the hill. At this point, the other stone-paved and drive-over road joins the pine forest to the secondary entrance of the park. On the top of the hill there is also the Castle of Saint Michael, where shows and exhibitions are organized throughout the year.

The vegetation of the park is very varied and includes the typical aromas of the Mediterranean scrub, such as rosemary, myrtle and arbutus, carob trees, olive and holm oaks. The fauna is similarly diverse, which includes several birds, including blackbirds, kestrels, sparrows, turtle doves and redstart.

In the past, the limestone used for the construction of several buildings in Cagliari was extracted from one side of the hill. In the historical context, many finds have been recovered in the area of the park, for example Roman coins, a sign of the dynamic activity in that period in this area.

Inside the Bonaria Park there are the homonym Basilica and the Monumental Cemetery, equipped with low walls, fountains and shaded areas throughout the park. From the highest point of the hill, it is possible to enjoy a wonderful panoramic view over most of the city of Cagliari and the nearby port. The main trees of the park are ficus, holm oaks, carob trees, palms and other aromatic plant bushes. There also are several flower beds. The park is open to the public every day of the year. It has two entrances: from Cemetery Square and Ravenna street. The Basilica of Bonaria is located above a very long staircase, and its view from below, from the small port of "Su Siccu", is also not to be missed. This whole area is a very romantic spot.
