Sassari City Guide And Airport Transfer Service

The second-largest city in Sardinia, Sassari, is a vibrant and sophisticated university town with something like a charming mediaeval core and a down-to-earth, ordinary feel. Sassari is the fifth-largest city in Italy by area (546,08 km2) and is situated nine kilometres from the shore in the Asinara Gulf. For many years, this city's favourable geography—a wonderful blend of mountains and vast plains gradually diminishing into the sea—has become the fundamental factor in its development.

Sassari is an infamous place to visit in Sardinia but it's still a fascinating place. If you're travelling through the northern portion of the island, you should include it in your schedule and spend some time exploring the area around it. It conceals its beauties behind an exterior of gloomy apartments and convoluted, congested roads, as several Italian villages do. However once inside, it expands out to showcase a spectacular cityscape of broad boulevards, grand piazzas, and regal palazzi. Ancient lanes in the atmospheric and somewhat deteriorated centro storico (old city) pulse with Dickensian bustle as locals go about their everyday lives amidst dingy facades and secret chapels.

Sassari has traditionally been quite a turbulent area, with upheavals and creative transformations occurring frequently. More than one governor has been driven from the city by its strong citizens, and numerous craftsmen have considered Sassari to be the perfect place to create. As a result, there have been unceasing, continuous modifications to traditions, beliefs, and art throughout the ages, and the city has become a hub for innovation, as seen by the establishment of the first Sardinian University in 1617.

Sassari became the wealthy city it is today, replete with remnants and structures from every historical era and with varied artistic inspirations because of this never-ending quest for advancement and transformation.
