Granada
The colourful city of Granada is packed with historical sights
and beautiful colonial-style architecture, some of which dates back
to the 1600s. The city's markets and museums offer visitors some of
the most popular tourist attractions and activities in Nicaragua.
Granada is home to a vibrant nightlife scene and a number of
popular festivals, including the colourful Granada Holy Week
festivities. Popular places to visit in Granada include the town's
six main churches, Parque Centrale (central park), Fuerte La
Polvora (an 18th century fort), Lake Nicaragua and the Mi Museo (a
private museum). Among the many favourite things to do in and
around Granada are zip-lining forest canopy tours, treks around the
Massaya Volcano, shopping excursions at the town's local market and
trips to coffee farms in the area. Granada is the best town for
visitors to use as a base while exploring Lake Nicaragua, as well
as many of the country's volcanoes and beaches.
