Situated in the heart of the Mesaoria plain, Nicosia serves as the largest city and capital of Cyprus. Resting on the banks of the River Pedieos, this bustling city is the last capital in the world to still be divided.

Visitors can cross the Green Line at Ledra and go through the military checkpoint to explore the other half of the city.

Highlights include: the impressive Selimiye Mosque, with its hybrid of Christian and Islamic architecture; and the Cyprus Museum, displaying its premier collection of ancient artefacts from Cyprus.

Relax at a friendly cafe, wander around the streets of the old town, and hop on a variety of exciting day trips to the mountains in the west.

Don’t miss Lefkosia’s Byzantine Museum, visit the Famagusta Gate and enjoy some excellent shopping opportunities on Ledra Street.
