Hiring a car to visit this site is your best option for a number of reasons. Public Transport is sporadic, organised tours are restrictive with times and there are numerous other sites of significance in the area that can be explored including other Nuraghi and Domus de Janas sites (Tentative UNESCO listed for potential inscription in 2025). We were based in Cagliari and hired a car for the day visiting this site as well as 2 other Nuraghi and 3 Domus de Janas sites making it a very worthwhile trip.

This particular site cannot be visited without an organised tour guide, which is included in the price and there were a number of languages of the guides at the time. Having arrived at the site around midday in mid-June 2025, we only had to wait about 10 minutes for our tour guide and tour. The tour lasts for about 20 - 30 minutes which includes a history of the site and points of interest both outside the main defensive towers but inside as well. Climbing into the towers is not difficult with steps and platforms, however there are narrow entries through the towers and stonework which some may find challenging. The tour takes you to the central location within the defensive tower from which you can then freely explore the area and other towers. There are no other information signs in the facility itself (not needed), with the tour guide remaining in the area to answer any questions if needed. After about 10 - 15 minutes you make your return journey through the narrow passages back to the outside of the main towers. You are then able to explore the exterior ruins for as long as you like with no time restrictions. The cost of your tour also includes access to the museum in Barumini surrounding this site.

I enjoyed exploring this site and appreciated its history and significance. The Nuraghi is unique to Sardinia and this particular Nuraghi in Barumini is the largest to date that has been discovered. I highly recommend a visit to this site.
