Watch Out For
⚠️Old City
📋 The Bottom Line
Nicosia is unique as Europe's last divided capital, with the Greek Cypriot south generally more developed for tourism. The old city within the Venetian walls has narrow streets and some cobblestones, while modern areas are more accessible. Public transport is limited, so you'll likely need taxis or rental cars. Cypriot culture is extremely family-friendly, and people genuinely love children. Summer heat is intense, making indoor activities preferable.
