What to Expect

Five carefully designed tours take you through different facets of Nicosia’s identity — from ancient civilizations and world-class museums to spiritual heritage and modern urban architecture.

1. The Nicosia Walled City Tour

Stroll through the heart of the historic old town. Wander along narrow medieval streets, visit landmarks like the Famagusta and Pafos Gates, the Venetian Walls, and the Green Line. Pause at Eleftheria Square and the Liberty Monument, and end your journey at the old Town Hall with a perfect photo opportunity by the “Poet” glass sculpture.

2. The Archaeological Tour

Trace the city’s roots from ancient times to the Byzantine era. Begin at the Ledroi Museum, home to artifacts from the ancient kingdom of Ledra, continue to the Cyprus Museum’s exceptional collection, and end at the imposing Venetian fortifications that once defended the city.

3. The City Museum Tour

Explore Nicosia’s cultural treasures through its most important museums. Highlights include the Leventis Municipal Museum, the Museum of Cypriot Coinage, the House of Hadjigeorgakis Kornesios, and the Hambis Municipal Printmaking Museum — each offering a unique window into the city’s past and present.

4. The Religion Tour

Uncover Nicosia’s spiritual landscape through a journey across denominations and centuries. From the Chapel of Saint Eleftherios and the Exarchate of the Holy Sepulchre, to the historic Cathedral of Saint John and the striking Omeriye Mosque, this tour showcases the city’s deep religious diversity and architectural beauty.

5. The Architecture Tour

Experience Nicosia’s dynamic cityscape through the lens of design and structure. Marvel at iconic modern buildings like the 360° Tower and Tower 25 by Jean Nouvel, walk through the reimagined Eleftheria Square, and lose yourself in the charming alleys of Chrysaliniotissa. A fascinating journey through layers of urban evolution.
