A venue that brings history, culture and contemporary energy
Cosmopolitan, historical and bustling, Nicosia is uniquely comprised of an ancient, walled city and a modern, fast-paced European capital. Nicosia is a city that will reward visitors in search of ‘something different’. As a result of the various architectural influences from different historical periods that are visible throughout the city, the past and present, traditional and contemporary are seamlessly fused together. The city’s landmarks, museums, theatres, musical events and galleries cater for a range of visitor interests.
Outside Nicosia, the island offers visitors a Mediterranean landscape of sun, sea, culture and cuisine. Cyprus is a small island with a long history and a rich culture that spans 11.000 years, making it one of the oldest civilisations in the Mediterranean. Situated at the crossroads of three continents – Europe, Asia and Africa – the island’s unique geographic position has played an important role since antiquity.
Over 4 million visitors a year enjoy Cyprus’s intense climate that offers something for everyone.
