Next, you’ll pedal along the Su Siccu waterfront, enjoying views of the sea and the city. The promenade features a safe, well-marked cycle path, making it suitable for all types of riders, including families with children.

Moving on, the tour takes you through the Galleria del Sale, an area that’s both an urban canvas for street art and a space with a unique atmosphere. It’s a quick but interesting contrast to the natural scenery, offering a glimpse of Cagliari’s contemporary side.

The final highlight is the entrance to Molentargius-Saline Regional Natural Park. Here, the natural beauty shines through—salt flats, canals, and the chance to spot some of the park’s famous fauna, including pink flamingos. This part of the ride is especially praised for its biodiversity and tranquil landscape.

The route’s accessibility makes it ideal for families, groups with varying fitness levels, or travelers who want to avoid strenuous activity. An added bonus is the beautiful views over the Gulf of Angels, which make it a memorable, photo-worthy outing.
