The walled city of Nicosia is the heart of Cyprus’ history and culture. Cycling through its charming streets, you can discover a unique blend of old and modern: traditional cafés alongside contemporary shops, historic monuments next to modern galleries.
The Venetian walls surrounding the old town offer a wonderful sense of stepping back in time. Here, you’ll find Liberty Square, the Archaeological Museum, the Famagusta Gate, and many other cultural and historical spots worth exploring.
Nicosia inside the walls is not just an old city—it’s a living organism that keeps traditions alive while hosting modern events, festivals, and artistic activities. Come and discover the authentic soul of Nicosia and experience a journey that blends the past with the present of Cyprus.
Extending your bike ride to Kaimakli will bring you closer to the everyday life of Nicosians.
