Book flights to Nicosia

Nicosia, the capital of Cyprus, is a fascinating city with lots of history. It's the world’s last divided capital, split between the Greek Cypriot south and the Turkish Cypriot north.

The city’s old town is surrounded by Venetian walls and has a charming mix of old and new. You can explore historic buildings, visit interesting museums like the Cyprus Museum, or simply wander the narrow streets. The Ledra Street crossing point is a popular spot where you can walk between the two sides of the city.

Nicosia is a good base for exploring the rest of Cyprus. It's well-connected by bus and car, making it easy to reach the island's beautiful beaches, mountains, and other towns.
