Port of Cagliari

Cagliari’s historic port brings ferries and cruise ships close to the city centre. The waterfront supports passenger travel alongside commercial and wheeled cargo, giving it both a visitor role and a practical function in the island’s transport network.

Protected harbour areas contain the quays used by these different vessel types. Passenger facilities lie near Via Roma, with the railway and bus stations at Piazza Matteotti providing connections beyond the waterfront. Cruise arrivals can also reach the city’s central streets from the port area.

The historic harbour is separate from Porto Canale and the refinery-related installations farther along the coast. Here, the combination of ferry traffic, cruise visits and commercial shipping links everyday island connections with the businesses and services of the surrounding city.
