Holidays in Nicosia Transport You to Another Era
Get ready to experience multicultural architectural spaces, artwork, and historical landmarks on your trip to Cyprus.
If you’re planning a trip to Cyprus, don’t miss the capital. Nicosia (or Lefkosia) is the heartbeat of the island, where you find a historical landmark or authentic eatery at every corner. It’s also the last divided capital in the world, situated at the crosspoint of the Republic of Cyprus and Northern Cyprus.
You can expect holidays in Nicosia to take you away from the sandy beaches and sea. We assure you that it makes a worthy diversion!
The cosmopolitan place bustles with activity due to its kaleidoscopic streets dotted with stalls, art galleries, chic boutiques, and eateries. Also, a mixture of Venetian and Ottoman architecture spread across the city reminds you of its diverse heritage.
In striking contrast lies the Old Town. History enthusiasts should not miss the infamous Cyprus Museum or the Leventis Municipal Museum during their visit.
From monasteries, mosques and museums to busy markets and eateries —the winding pathways are always filled with intriguing surprises. You can tour the city on foot, on a bicycle or even on a segway!
