Tour description
Granada is one of the oldest and most beautiful colonial cities in the Americas, a gem of colourful streets, grand churches and pastel mansions set beside the vast Lake Nicaragua. Long a prize fought over by pirates and powers, today it is a relaxed and charming place to explore. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its history and colour.
You will admire the yellow cathedral on the central park, wander streets of brightly painted colonial houses, and hear about the conquistadors, pirates and revolutions that shaped the city. Along the way you will take in the lakeside setting and easygoing charm. Colourful and historic, Granada is a wonderful city to explore on foot.
