The big flea market held every Sunday morning at the corner of Viale Trieste and Viale Trento is well worth a visit even if you don't want to buy anything.

The ISOLA shop specialises in high-quality products of traditional Sardinian craftwork - from woodwork to textiles, you can find real peaces of art here (176 Via Ottone Baccaredda).

Go for a shopping tour under the jacaranda trees of Largo Carlo Felice and check out the numerous Italian fashion shops.

Experience some real Sardinian market atmosphere off the well-trodden tourist path at the Mercato di Via Quirra, which sells an abundance of regional products, from fresh fish to beautiful fruit.
