Perhaps by going to the Cagliari cinemas or enjoying a night at a theatre in Cagliari, for example. Below we have put together a list for those looking for a Cagliari cinema, a Cagliari theater or even the best clubs in Cagliari (but we have a better page for that).
Cinemas Cagliari

Theatres Cagliari
Lyric Theatre: Cagliari (Teatro Lirico)
Via Sant’Alenixedda
Designed in the 1960’s after they decided to re-do it after the bombing in 1943. In the long process to get it on its feet, the theatre officially opened in 1993 and shows high level concerts and cultural events like ballet and opera. When on their site, that’s in Italian, go to the Biglietteria section to purchase tickets online.
Viale Trento, 9
This theatre was built between 1944 and 1947 but changed hands many times and was actually almost knocked down to build something else. After that decision fell through, unfortunately there was a fire in 1982 leaving the theatre in shambles. Finally, after years of being closed it was reopened in 2009 housing plays, dance shows and more.
Theatre Roman: Cagliari (Roman Amphitheatre)
Viale Sant'Ignazio da Laconi
One of the most important public buildings of the Roman period that was built directly into a valley in Cagliari. This theatre antique cagliari has been well preserved and believe it or not, now holds concerts and other performances during the Summer.
