The Nicosia Tourism Board is proud to present The Nicosia Guide — a comprehensive and practical resource designed to empower the city’s front-line hospitality professionals with the knowledge and confidence to deliver authentic, informed, and high-quality experiences to visitors.
Created specifically for hotel staff, tourism professionals, and front-desk teams, The Nicosia Guide serves as a single, easy-to-use reference on everything that makes our capital special — from its rich cultural heritage to its modern creative energy.
Why This Guide Matters
Every guest’s experience of Nicosia begins with a local interaction — a greeting, a suggestion, a shared story. Our hospitality professionals are not only the face of their hotels and businesses, but also ambassadors of the city itself.
The Nicosia Guide helps them play that role with confidence and pride. It brings together essential information on:
- Nicosia’s history, culture, and attractions
- Local customs and etiquette
- Key events, festivals, and tours
- Dining and culinary highlights
- Rural experiences beyond the city
With this knowledge, every employee can offer more personal, genuine, and memorable recommendations — turning a stay in Nicosia into an experience that guests will carry home and share.
A Call to All Tourism Stakeholders
We invite hoteliers, restaurant owners, tour operators, travel agents, cultural venues, and educational institutions to share The Nicosia Guide with their teams.
By ensuring every front-line employee — from reception to guest relations, concierge, and service staff — has access to this guide, we strengthen our collective ability to present Nicosia at its best.
When our professionals are informed and inspired, our visitors feel it — through every smile, every recommendation, and every story shared about our beautiful city.
Continuous Learning and Engagement
The Nicosia Guide is designed to evolve. It connects directly with Visit Nicosia’s official website, where professionals can find regular updates on:
- Upcoming events and cultural happenings
- Free guided tours and experiences
- The Taste Nicosia culinary map
- Creative and educational initiatives like Ngage Culture & Creativity
We encourage all teams to explore these tools, stay updated, and engage actively with the official channels of Visit Nicosia on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube.
Together, We Shape the Visitor Experience
Hospitality in Nicosia has always been defined by philoxenia — the deep-rooted Cypriot tradition of warmth, generosity, and genuine care.
Through The Nicosia Guide, we aim to support every hospitality professional in embodying that tradition with knowledge, pride, and professionalism.
Let’s work together to ensure that every guest leaves Nicosia inspired, enriched, and eager to return.
