Nicosia is the capital of Cyprus. This great attraction is known in our days as the Europe’s only divided city. The city today is very modern from different points of view: around you will find many elegant tree-lined suburbs, mostly tourists would prefer the old town which lately it has had several renovations.

The Nicosia city is divided in two: Turkish Cypriots in the north part and Greek Cypriots in the south.

Nowadays, Nicosia is known to have several department stores, many restaurants, malls and great museums to visit. The biggest city of Cyprus, Nicosia has a population of around 270 000 inhabitants.
Here, every visitor could receive a new and unique experience in their life. Be sure of that.

About the old town, we could say Nicosia was encircled by very strong fortress walls which were built in the sixteenth century. The old Nicosia also was mainly pedestrian-only.

But the city today has seriously become a well known cultural center, with has to offer a lot of facilities tourists from all over the world.

Museums are the unique attractions they could ever choose. The Cyprus Museum  houses today very important collections of antiquities, treasures of Cyprus since the Roman Period. Another two great museums are the Jewels Museum and the Municipal Arts Center and Ethnological museum. They shouldn’t be missed.

The best outdoor activity is football, a very popular sport in Cyprus. But if you don’t want this, you can try another kind. A day of shopping in areas as Makarios Avenue, Stasikratous Street, Ledra Street. Take advantage of all these opportunities we can offer you.
