About Sardinia

Useful things to know about Sardinia

Language

In Sardinia, a region of Italy, the predominant language spoken is Italian. However, there is also a significant presence of the Sardinian language (Sardu), which is a Romance language distinct from Italian.

Currency

The currency used in Sardinia, as with the rest of Italy, is the Euro (€). Italy adopted the Euro as its official currency in 2002, replacing the Italian Lira. Therefore, in Sardinia, you will use Euros for all transactions, including purchases, payments, and financial exchanges.

Time Zone

Sardinia, being a part of Italy, operates on the Central European Time (CET) zone during standard time, which is UTC+1 (Coordinated Universal Time plus one hour). However, like the rest of the European Union, Sardinia observes Daylight Saving Time, shifting to Central European Summer Time (CEST) during the summer months, which is UTC+2. Therefore, Sardinia is typically in the Central European Time zone, but during daylight saving time, it is in the Central European Summer Time zone.
