Monte Urpinu Park is one of Cagliari’s most beautiful and peaceful natural areas, offering breathtaking
views over the city, the Gulf of Cagliari, and Poetto Beach. Located on a hill just east of the city center,
it’s the perfect escape for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone seeking tranquility within the
bustling capital of Sardinia.
Covered with Mediterranean pine trees, winding paths, and shaded benches, Monte Urpinu is ideal for
walking, jogging, or a quiet afternoon picnic. The park is also home to local wildlife, including peacocks,
