(Nuraghi are big, megalithe tower-like buildings ,18-15th century BC, the miniatures are small replica's from 9/8th century BC) First of all: by all means, get a car! Visiting Barumini by public transportation is nothing short of a military... More

If you have just planned a trip from Cagliari or from another town to Barumini, to the most famous Nuraghe of Sardinia, please change your trip plan and add at least other three or four hours.

We visited Barumini on a cruise shore excursion and found it absolutely fascinating. Our guide gave us so much interesting historic information. It was not an easy tour with narrow passage ways and twists and turns and narrow stairs...you should be quite mobile to do it.
