Nicosia
Nicosia, also known as Lefkosia, is the historic capital of Cyprus and the island’s main cultural, administrative, and business centre. With a history stretching back thousands of years to the Bronze Age, the city combines ancient heritage with the energy of a modern Mediterranean capital.
Located in the heart of Cyprus on the Mesaoria Plain, Nicosia is framed by the scenic Pentadaktylos mountain range. It is home to government offices, diplomatic headquarters, cultural institutions, convention facilities, and a wide selection of four-star and five-star hotels.
The city presents a fascinating contrast between old and new. Its historic centre is enclosed by impressive Venetian walls that have protected the city for more than 400 years, while the modern districts outside the walls feature hotels, offices, restaurants, gardens, elegant houses, and colonial buildings.
At the centre of the city, Eleftheria Square connects the traditional old town with the stylish modern capital. Visitors can enjoy a rich mix of history, culture, shopping, dining, and contemporary city life in one of the most distinctive capitals in the Eastern Mediterranean.
Nicosia’s key highlights include the Venetian walled city, Famagusta Gate, Kyrenia Gate, Ledras Street, the Cyprus Museum, the Leventis Municipal Museum of Nicosia, and the Zampelas Contemporary Art Museum.
