Tour description
Nicosia is the capital of Cyprus and the last divided capital in the world, split between the Greek south and Turkish north by the United Nations buffer zone running through the heart of the old town. Surrounded by star-shaped Venetian walls, it is a city full of charm and depth. On this walking tour, a local guide will reveal the city’s history and unique character.
You will stroll through the old town within the Venetian walls, walk along lively Ledra Street toward the dividing line, and learn about the island’s complex history. Along the way, you will discover traditional crafts, churches, and the city’s daily life. Unique and steeped in history, Nicosia is a fascinating city to explore on foot.
