What to expect
Expect a steady uphill and downhill workout through tight lanes where mediaeval Castelsardo still feels lived-in rather than polished. Your guide will point out architectural details—stone carvings, defensive walls, church interiors—and explain how the village developed. The terrain is uneven and stepped throughout, so comfortable walking shoes are essential. At the end, you'll sit down in an old stone building with a drink and snacks, catching your breath and the view. Allow two hours total; the pace is relaxed but the gradient is real.
Good to know
Wear sturdy, supportive shoes with good grip. The old town is genuinely steep with no lifts or shortcuts. Service animals welcome. Children under a certain age should be carried. Extra drinks beyond the aperitif can be purchased on-site at variable prices.
