Nora is an important and extensive archaeological area. We went one day on our own and returned the next day, first to do a guided tour of the site with Andrea Lintas, an extremely passionate and knowledgeable guide who has worked at the park for many years. His tour was engaging and he patiently answered our many questions. We especially loved the mosaics and, of course, the historical perspective about the Phoenician and Roman periods. Then we donned VR goggles and got to see what researchers think the site and the buildings looked like in Roman times. It really brought the ruins to life. I would encourage tourists — especially my fellow American travelers — to take advantage of the innovative and meaningful work this park is doing to preserve history. It’s an amazing experience.

As it was a bigger place, is better preserved, includes also several mosaics and quute impressive remains of buildings, roads, cloakas, this is even more impressive than Tharros. They are comparable also regarding the istmus location. If you like archeology, a d use imagination to imagine historic life within these places, do not miss any of the two :)

Interesting archaeological site showing layout of Roman town with some evidence of previous civilisations. Access is a bit limited at the moment because of the works going on there and so you have to join a tour with a guide (every half hour - probably worth checking in advance which will be in your language), but admission price has been reduced to help make up for this. Worth a visit if you are interested in ancient civilisations, but Su Nuraxi di Barumini is much better IMHO if you are only going to visit one during your stay in Sardinia.

Our tour guide, Andreas was brilliant. Given the constraints imposed on them I thought all the staff did a phenomenal job making the extraordinary history of the site come alive. You obviously do have to plan your visit at the moment but we loved it. This was our favourite archeological site on Sardinia. Andreas was great!
