Easter, Liberation Day, and May Day: how to spend the holidays in Cagliari

This year, Cagliari is one of the most popular cities to spend the upcoming Easter holiday, from April 18 to 21. Its mild climate, museums, traditional events, and good food place it among the top 30 destinations chosen by European tourists. But what are the events not to be missed in the city during Easter and Easter Monday?

Don't miss the traditional Holy Week rituals : the Procession of Mysteries in Villanova and Stampace, the ritual of the Seven Churches on Holy Thursday, su scravamentu on Saturday morning in the church of San Lucifero, and finally the Procession with S'incontru on Sunday morning, April 20.

April 25, 2025, will be Liberation Day, which is celebrated in Cagliari with free admission to the National Museums. We recommend taking advantage of this opportunity to visit the beautiful Archaeological Museum and Art Gallery at the Cittadella dei Musei in the Castello district.

From May 1 to May 4, there will be grand celebrations in honor of Saint Efisio, a religious event that attracts thousands of faithful every year and is now in its 369th edition. Click on this link for the complete program of celebrations.

During the holidays, guests at our hotels will have the opportunity to experience the historic center of Cagliari in an authentic way thanks to exclusive experiences such as the walking tour of the historic Castello district organized by Aràsole guides.

For tourists who love music: events in Cagliari

Every year between late April and early May, Cagliari hosts a wealth of musical events and concerts that attract young people from all over the island, as well as numerous tourists from outside Sardinia. Among these, don't miss:

Poettofest 2025, scheduled from April 30 to May 1 at the Trade Fair, with artists such as Clara and Kid Yugi;
Easter Festival 2025, the music festival that brings classical music to the evocative locations of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Church of St. Augustine, in the heart of the historic center, with events from April 5 to May 31;
Bosa Beer Fest: for those who, besides Cagliari, want to visit other places on the island, we recommend this event full of music and fun in the heart of the beautiful village of Bosa, scheduled from April 24 to 27;

Don't miss out on nature, sports, and outdoor wellness

What better opportunity than the Easter holidays to enjoy semi-deserted beaches out of season, little-used hiking trails, unspoiled nature, and breathtaking landscapes in solitude?

Cagliari is beautiful all year round, but in spring it unleashes its best energy and its most beautiful colors, seasoned with the unmistakable scents of the Mediterranean scrub and the mild and regenerating breeze of the sea wind.

Therefore, walks and stops at Poetto beach are a must, as are trips to the beaches a short distance away in Pula, Chia, and Villasimius, trekking and walks to Sella del Diavolo, or in the nearby Monti dei Sette Fratelli mountains.
