Nicosia in 2 days

If you only have 2 days to spend in Nicosia, we’ve narrowed down the top places you should check out to get the best experience of your time here.
Nicosia, Europe’s last divided capital, offers a rare chance to walk across a UN-patrolled buffer zone between Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot sectors in the heart of the old town. Within its Venetian star-shaped walls, you’ll find winding streets lined with Ottoman-era architecture, Byzantine churches, mosques and traditional courtyard houses. The city’s museums, including the Cyprus Museum with its renowned archaeological collection, trace thousands of years of island history. Cafés, galleries and shops in the revitalized old quarters give Nicosia a laid-back, lived-in feel that contrasts with the more resort-focused coastal cities.
With favorites like Cyprus Classic Motorcycle Museum, Eleftheria Square, and Patio Cocktail Bar, we’ll make sure you don’t miss out on all the must sees. We even included some of our favorite food spots around the area, like Fanous Lebanese Restaurant and Pieto so you can get the best taste of Nicosia while you’re here. To see our full list of food recommendations, check out our best restaurants post. If you're traveling on a budget, you can check out our cheap eats post.

Contemporary mall offering brand-name shops, restaurants, a movie theater, kiddie rides & an arcade.
It is good and there are many people and customer service who speak English and the market is somewhat cheap and the area is better than Turkish Cyprus because Turkish Cyprus does not have any malls

Disappointing! You'd expect the "Mall of Cyprus" to be a significant destination point! It's name a long gives the impression the biggest mall in cyprus! But it is far from that! Limassol mall is miles better!

Acropolis Park

4.4
(492)
Park
Acropolis Park, situated in Strovolos near the city center, is a charming and spacious park offering various outdoor activities for visitors of all ages. The park features a vast grass area perfect for picnics, playing frisbee, or letting kids and pets run around. Additionally, there's a playground, skate park, and basketball court catering to the city's youth. For those seeking relaxation, the park offers clear walkways, bridges, and fountains creating a tranquil atmosphere.
This park is truly a hidden gem, offering a peaceful escape right in the middle of the city. The first thing you’ll notice is how clean and well-maintained the entire space is. The grass is lush and inviting, perfect for picnics or just relaxing in the sun. There are plenty of trees providing shade, which creates a calm, cool atmosphere even on warm days. A small, charming lake sits at the center of the park, complete with beautiful, cascading waterfalls that add to the soothing environment. One of the highlights for families is the lovely children’s playground. It’s well-equipped and impeccably clean, making it a great spot for kids to run around and enjoy themselves. The toilets are also clean, which is a major plus when spending time outdoors. For animal lovers, the park is home to many friendly and beautiful cats that roam freely. They are approachable and add a whimsical touch to the park’s atmosphere. There are also plenty of sitting areas scattered throughout, making it easy to find a quiet spot to unwind, read, or catch up with friends. However, if you plan to grab a bite or a coffee, you may want to skip “The Bridge” restaurant. Unfortunately, the service there is disappointing. We waited over 45 minutes for four coffees, even though two other tables that arrived after us were served and left before our order even came. The staff seemed unorganized and unprofessional, which detracts from an otherwise pleasant experience. Overall, the park is a perfect spot to spend a quiet afternoon, surrounded by nature, in a serene and relaxing atmosphere. It’s ideal for a peaceful retreat with friends, despite the restaurant’s shortcomings.

Acropolis Park in Nicosia is a fantastic green escape! It's beautifully maintained, with lush trees and peaceful pathways perfect for a walk, run, or just relaxing. The park has great playgrounds for kids and plenty of open space for everyone to enjoy. It's a wonderful, serene spot that offers a refreshing break from city life. Highly recommended for a quiet moment or family fun!

Eleftheria Square, located in the heart of Nicosia, is a vibrant and historically significant main square that seamlessly blends the old city with modern districts. Designed by renowned architect Zaha Hadid, the square showcases a fusion of urban styles and features stunning gardens, fountains, and walking/cycling paths. The backdrop of massive Venetian walls adds to its allure. Visitors can also enjoy shopping at kiosks offering newspapers, magazines, sweets, drinks, and postcards.
A very busy square in the heart of Nicosia, which is very popular with the locals young and old. There is a small playground, fountains a lot of benches for taking a rest. During the evening it has got music on at the bar and the fountains lit up.

Beautiful open space. Balance of modern, nature, and old aspects from the old town of Nicosia. Perfect to walk around a few times. Or just go down there if u walking by anyway. There are cafe's down there if u'd like to enjoy the views :)
Daniel — Google review
The square, on its own, is very unique and futuristic, but personally, I feel like it is very out of place in Nicosia, like it doesn't really fit in with the city's general architecture and spirit. My main fault, though, is that it is so open and bare. In the scorching heat of the Cypriot Sun, you have a large city square with few to no trees. Honestly, I feel like any sort of flora would've been welcome to alleviate some of the brutal heat.

Rudy A — Google review
It is the second time we come to visit Nicosia by public transport (intercity bus) from Larnaca. The head of the line in Nicosia is the Eleftheria market. The area was set up quite futuristically, ornaments, fountains with lights, Christmas lights. Public toilets are also available but in a rather poor condition. In the Eleftheria market area, you have the impression that you are teleported to another geographical area, rather Asia. An explanation would be the abundance of "tourists" who haunt near the border with the Turkish side of the island.

The Leventis Municipal Museum of Nicosia

Museum
The Leventis Municipal Museum of Nicosia is a historical treasure located within the Venetian Walls of the old city. Housed in two restored 19th-century merchant mansions, it offers a comprehensive journey through Nicosia's rich and intricate history.
The «Sector 2: Nicosia» exhibition is truly remarkable! The whole museum has a wonderful showcase of the history of the island. Many interactive stations. But the job they did with the division of the city, is something else! Truly amazing! Bravo!
Sasha G — Google review
The Leventis Municipal Museum of Nicosia is a fascinating cultural institution that offers a deep dive into the history and heritage of Nicosia and Cyprus. Located in the heart of the city, the museum showcases a wide range of exhibits, including archaeological artifacts, historical items, and works of art that span centuries of Cypriot history. The museum’s carefully curated collections provide insight into the island’s ancient civilizations, colonial past, and modern developments. It’s a must-visit for anyone looking to explore the rich cultural tapestry of Nicosia and Cyprus.
Dani B — Google review
Very interesting artifacts regarding Cyprus history and culture throughout the different eras. Centrally located and an escape away from the sun in an A/C controlled environment. Highly recommended A+
Pegasios P — Google review
Highly recommended! And best of all, it's free to enter! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. The exhibitions are rich and diverse, with detailed explanations that cover Nicosia’s history from ancient times to the modern era. There are plenty of interactive elements and short videos throughout the museum. My personal favorite was the audiobook storytelling section, which brought the stories to life in a really engaging way. There are also lots of life-sized dolls dressed in historical costumes, surrounded by carefully recreated environments and historical objects; it honestly felt like stepping back in time. A wonderful place to learn, explore, and feel immersed in Cyprus’s history.
NANA D — Google review
This museum is really exceptional! They did an excellent job, showcasing the development of the city from early ages on. You should plan enough time to properly explore the place which stretches over several floors. Even I haven’t seen the Cyprus museum yet, I think both should be visited for a full understanding. Best thing, the museum is free of charge.
Michael K — Google review
We were completely struck by this museum. Starting from the first floor and going upwards, we could trace the history of the city, influenced by so many cultures through the centuries. The exhibits made a great impact on us, realizing that Lefkosia/Nicosia was shaped by so many important historical figures and events. From ancient times, this settlement has had multinational character, still to this day. The temporary exhibit on the 2nd floor about the Green Line and the current divide inside the city was quite imactful. Totally worth a visit! The entrance is free and it is open on Sundays as well.

Fanous is a great traditional lebanese restaurant that consistently offers delicious food at great prices. The atmosphere is authentic and their narghile is a very enjoyable touch to the evening. If you're looking for some excellent Middle Eastern cuisine, this is definitely the place to go!
Haven't been to Fanous in a while, and the food has had a serious upgrade. Very fresh incredients, perfect flavour, and one of the best muhammaras I tried (with a bit of chilli inside).
Nicos M — Google review

Delicious food! We tried two meze sets - one vegetarian and one with meat. The hummus, eggplant, and vegetables were absolutely amazing. I highly recommend coming here and trying it. I’ve never had such delicious cinnamon tea before! If I ever come back to Nicosia, I will gladly visit you again 🥹

What an amazing experience dining under the beautiful strung lights in the old walled city of Nicosia. It was our first meal after a long day of flying from NYC, so we went with Rami’s suggestion to get the Fanous Meze and shared a carafe of Cypriot white wine. The Meze was fresh, tasty, and enough food for breakfast the next day. We chatted with the owner while he was enjoying the evening with some hookah and learned his story as we played with “Tiger”. It felt very homey and cozy, the perfect introduction to our vacation in Cyprus.

The Pieto in is a cozy cafe with a vintage feel and a great selection of accessories. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the prices are reasonable. The Mojitos here are lovely and strong but with a natural taste, making them perfect for enjoying at home. There's also a non-alcoholic lemonade available which is very tender and flavoursome. The atmosphere of the cafe is adorable, making it the perfect place to relax after exploring Chicago.
A cool little cafe on Ledras Street, I went there a couple of times whilst in Nicosia. The service is friendly and prompt, there are a few friendly cats that enjoy the cafe also, make sure you give them a stroke and say hello.

I’ve been to this café more than four times in the past two weeks, and the atmosphere is always amazing. The staff are super friendly, and the manager is really kind as well. We even organized a birthday party for a friend with over 20 people, and everything went perfectly. This time, I had a Piña Colada and my friend ordered a Sex on the Beach – both were great! I’m leaving some photos too. I really recommend this place. Thank you so much!

Looks and seems very nice but be aware that there is smoking inside! Quite an off-putting contrast to the cute decor and colourful, comfortable setting. They might regard it as ‘outside’ but it is inside. Staff are wonderful. There is complimentary water which is a great welcoming gesture. The food is cheap while the drinks are not particularly. It’s likely to be the cosiest and quaintest cafe on the whole street.

This is a really cute place to hang out, the coffee (Americano) is good, but quite expensive compared to other items on the menu. I also had a slice of tiramisu which was huge and delicious 😋 The free water is a nice idea. One thing that let this place down was the service. It wasn't awful, and I'm not sure if the waitress was struggling with English, but she seemed like she was bothered by being there.

I was walking down the street and heard from a woman sitting in this cafe “this is the best cheesecake I’ve had in a while” so I decided to try it no matter what. The lemon cheesecake was heaven, not too sweet, not too fat, just perfect. Going together with lemonade 👌🏻❤️ However there were lack of staff, despite it was Sunday evening, they had only 2 waiters that just didn’t pay attention to customers at all.

Cocktail bar
Tapas bar
Patio Cocktail Bar, located in Nicosia, Cyprus, offers a unique blend of original style and timeless flavors. The bar is meticulously designed with attention to detail and caters to both young and young-at-heart crowds. It's housed in a beautifully renovated city house with an inner patio, providing a charming setting for enjoying expertly crafted cocktails. Additionally, the bar-restaurant is situated in the indoor garden of an old house near Ledra Street.
Love the atmosphere. DJ was amazing. The service os good enough but not the best. The food was okay. We ordered share platters and we split it between 6 girls. We spend a great night.
Ioanna O — Google review
We had a very disappointing experience at Patio Cocktail Bar. Our group of 14 girls spent around €400, and when we politely asked for just 5 shots on the house, the so-called “manager” rudely replied: “Why should we give you anything? You only did the minimum consumption.” This is completely unprofessional and shows a lack of respect towards paying customers. The platters were overpriced and not worth the money. The atmosphere was extremely uncomfortable with the heat — only two air coolers at the entrance and three fans for the entire place, which made it unbearable. Hospitality is about creating a good experience, not making guests feel unwelcome or like they are a burden. With such a poor overall bad management, this was definitely the last time we visited this venue. There are plenty of other bars in Nicosia that actually appreciate their customers — unfortunately, Patio is not one of them!!!

Everything was fine, the thing we did not like very much was the minimum charge per person of 25 euro. However, you are allowed to eat and drink anything you want from the menu so this is fine. The atmosphere was a bit too relaxed than what we expected. Overall, it was very nice and the staff very kind.

A loyal patron of this small but strong sushi shop for nearly ten years. The quality is top-notch, and so is the service.
Natalie J — Google review
I was invited to this tiny, mainly take away / delivery, restaurant but I really enjoyed it. My satisfaction was twofold: as we entered the shop, the owner asked us to deactivate our mobile phones ("how can you enjoy your meal if you talk on your cell phone all the time?"). It's really amazing that a restaurant owner has the guts to ask customers to do that! Then came the food, most of which was excellent. I can't say that we had the best sushi in the world (after all, nowadays most sushi chefs serve us extravagant and outrageously extreme dishes) but in any case it was worth it. Our spicy tuna was most probably frozen. No music here and no particular interior design. The service was very good and the prices reasonable. Overall, I would say a really good value for money Japanese place at the heart of the capital.

One of the best sushi I have ever had! I usually order the shirashi poke bowl and is just amazing! Fresh & delicious ingredients. It’s better to order for take away or delivery. I highly recommend this sushi place. *I ordered yesterday and the portions were very small so that’s why I changed my rate, it’s better to order when it’s not peak time*

I could not recommend this place enough! I heard from friends about it and they said I had to try; Well they were absolutely right! Every single sushi tasted amazing, I can’t say there was a single thing I am not happy about or that It could improve! In addition, they had provided us with more than enough ginger, wasabi, and soya sauce which many places simply don’t! Will be ordering again, and we recommend you should too!

Shopping
Nicosia Mall is a contemporary multi-level shopping center that boasts an impressive atrium, an array of dining choices and a grocery store. It has ample space for visitors to move around comfortably. Though the stores are somewhat comparable to those at Mall of Cyprus, it may not be worth the journey if shoppers aren't seeking anything specific or are far away from the area.
Nicosia Mall is truly a beautiful place to visit, especially during the Christmas season. The decorations are stunning, creating a festive and magical atmosphere. It’s a popular spot, so it can get quite crowded, but that adds to the lively energy of the place. A wonderful shopping and leisure destination in Nicosia, Cyprus!
Banafsheh N — Google review
We had a bad experience visiting the mall from the city center with e-scooters. The journey towards the mall went nicely via the paramiko linear park. From the bicycle statue we turned towards the mall, and problems started at the highway E903, which we had to cross. It is not really a place for pedestrians, bikes or escooters. There are the bus stops, one on each side of the road, next to which you can find a nearly hidden underpass for crossing the E903 road. Then we continued towards the mall, but made the mistake to drive on the small road that has relatively busy traffic from and to the mall. We then opted to drive the pavement that luckily went all the way to the mall. This e-scooters on the pavement vs. road is a wider issue in Nicosia/Cyprus. If you go on the roads, the car drivers will shout you to go on the pavement. If you go on the pavement, to my understanding, you can be fined by the police. When we arrived to the mall, I was approaching the bike/moped racks maybe 5-7 km/h when the mall security "attacked" me in Greek saying something about the dromo, apparently saying that you cannot drive the scooter outside the road. This felt little mad because I was just driving slowly towards the bike racks, which are next to the front door, and I did not approach people walking in and out the mall from close distance. In addition, you could see the delivery drivers with their mopeds driving to these racks constantly in and out. This incidence with overly policing security added to my general frustration on the state of Nicosia e-scooter and bike commuting situation, but perhaps they do geniunly have issues with the scooters in the mall judged by the amount of teenagers doing crazy stuff in the mall. Overall, it is a nice mall but it would greatly benefit from better bike and pedestrian infrastructure leading from the city to the mall. As is it now, the Mall of Cyprus or the Enkomi Mall is easier to reach with bikes/e-scooters/etc. from the city center. Not far from the mall, there is a small park with kids toys and benches but I believe it has been unused for years based on the amount of plants growing on the walking paths. Not to be overly pessimistic, I thank the Nicosia mall for having the bike racks in the first place although they are too few considering the size of the mall.

Just because some other teens were messing around, we got kicked out early even though adults were let inside, and it was cold. Even though we didn't do anything . Unneceptable for security guards to not be able to tell apart trouble makers and nice people.

Have visited the Mall and Ikea which is next to the Mall many times . It is very nice complex of shops , with ample parking and most it under the building away from the heat of the sun. If you like to dine , there many shops at the Food court . Recommend that you visit it as well as the large Ikea department store adjacent to the Mall. l do not have any photos or videos.

This private gallery boasts an impressive collection of over 800 artworks that span centuries and styles, featuring masterpieces from renowned Cypriot, Greek, and European artists like Renoir, Monet, Chagall, and Canaleto.
Thoroughly enjoyed this personal, yet diverse collection of precious objects and paintings. Affordable admission fee, 5 Euros. Nice cafe attached to the museum, bonus! Of all the museums we took in in Nicosia, I thought this one has the best gift shop, bonus! The sister city museum is also fantastic., don't miss it (free admission there).

A private collection that became public. A great gift from A. Leventis for the future generations. A very educative collection consists of European, Greek , Cypriot and some Asian artefacts. Few époques, a few pièces of art of each shown in three storey modern building give us a great example of how fine arts developed through the time until nowadays. Some famous names as El Greco, Renoir or Canaletto are on the walls. Fashionable souvenir shop and a cosy Zest cafe at the entrance.

History Museums
The Cyprus Museum, located just outside the Old City walls, is a must-visit for history enthusiasts. It boasts an extensive collection of archaeological artifacts from various excavations across the island. From pottery to sculptures, the museum showcases treasures dating back as far as 9000 BCE, offering a fascinating journey through Cyprus's rich history.
I visited the museum in July, and it was one of the most tangible beautiful museums I've been to. Small, picturesque, with aesthetics that suits a country in a warm climate like our Cyprus. The exhibits are rich and varied. A large number for such a small country. The employees of the building were excellent and pleasant. The Garden is enchanting and hosts a nice little café. In summary, the feelings he left me were one of admiration for the culture of Cyprus and its heritage. The museum gives you a sense of Friendly and family-friendly. It is the duty of Cypriots and Greeks to preserve this legacy left to us by our ancestors. Visit it!

The oldest and largest archaeological museum in Cyprus houses artifacts discovered allover the island from idfferent periods of time. The Cyprus Museum was founded in 1882 during the British occupation of the island following a petition by the Cypriot people, delivered by a delegation headed by the religious leaders of both Christian and Muslim populations. Beautiful building and very interesting artefacts to be found here.

great museum to get to know about the ancient history of cyprus. I was actually caught off-guard by the abundance of the artifacts presented here from all around the island. free entrance and free cold water with entrance were also nice little touches. Has a chill little cafe in it's beautiful backyard. The architecture of the museum building itself is also beautiful.
Bugra O — Google review
The Archaeological Museum presents the rich history of Cyprus in a compelling way. The Museum has free entry and you need about an hour to explore it. Many important artifacts are on display, and it's fascinating to recognize their historical significance. The exhibition rooms are thoughtfully divided into categories: jewelry, statues, burial ceremonies, etc, which makes it easier to explore different aspects of the past. However, a bit more signage would help visitors better connect the dots and follow the historical timeline. The architecture of the building is equally impressive. I’m truly looking forward to visiting the new Archaeological Museum and taking the time to view the artifacts as they deserve to be seen: with respect and admiration.

Instead of going to the check point straight away after getting off at Solomon Square, I visited the FREE Cyprus Museum first. During the 6-7 minutes' walk, I also came across the city wall. The high quality of the exhibits in the museum really surprised me. The jewelleries could still be in fashion nowadays. The terracotta army were so well preserved. Actually, all the other terracotta objects really interested me. Overall, the history of Cyprus has been well documented.

Surprisingly closing hours were 6 PM and they started denying the entries around 5.30 onwards and wrapping up their bags. I requested but they mentioned, we have to close all the rooms and all so can't allow you now. I mentioned about timings but they softly denied the entry. Located very close to bus station and other main attractions. No charges, free of cost entry in the Museum.

We visited to the Museum on Friday. It is a private collection of a person. It was Museum's 25th anniversary. The owner has a collection of 450 bikes but displayed only 150. He keeps rotating the display. Some bikes are gifted to him but mostly he purchased them and refurbished them to the original look. A must visit place for bike enthusiast.

I came out enriched with useful information regarding suitable roads and routes for bike trips in the island, motorway regulations and the Cypriot second-hand market. And of course, lots interesting factoids and curiosities. I like it when a museum is run by people who can offer an expert opinion on the subject matter and will openly discuss it with you.

The majority of the dishes tasted well although the chicken was a bit too chewy and dry. The service was fast and the live music contributed to having a fun night.

Traditional restaurant with excellent service, astonishingly tasteful food and well deserved reputation of exceptional quality and quantity of delightful experience. The location is not far away from the city center but far enough from the crowded touristic area. Things to consider - the garden salad, the traditional pork, the lamb chops and the galumi cheese. We got for free two rounds of free difestives, home made ice cream and nuts AFTER we finished our meals so be ready to use your secondary stomach :-)

just had dinner, after hearing really good comments for this restaurant and I can confirm that it indeed is a very mice value for money restaurant. One thing to note is that pizzas come seasoned with spicy pepper, which some people may dislike. i personally don’t, but it is noteworthy. Another noteworthy experience was a trip to the bathroom. Clean and bright which was another positive field to an overall very satisfactory night.

While the staff was friendly, the food was a huge letdown. I started with the chicken buttermilk, which was fine but lacked sauce. My main dish, the pork Milanese (€20), was a complete disappointment—bland, overcooked, and with the breading peeling off. The texture was off, and the salad tasted like it hadn’t been washed properly. I told two different waiters I didn’t enjoy my meal, and neither responded or acknowledged my feedback. I wasn’t expecting a discount, just basic customer care. I left feeling unsatisfied and had to find another place to eat. Definitely not worth it.

We were walking down Ledra Street and wondering where to go have lunch as we were craving traditional Cypriot food and I have to say that it exceeded our expectations. The food was amazing, fresh and delicious. They also cater for vegetarians. We started with a Greek village salad and courgettes balls that came piping hot, then moved on to a mixed souvlaki dish that was scrumptious and came with fries, tzatziki and bread. Our waitress Tatia was very friendly and efficient. We were also given complimentary panna cotta for dessert and a shot of mastic liquor 😋.. We sat in the beautiful back garden which is a bonus and there was a also a singer on the Sunday who serenaded everyone with beautiful soft songs. We can't recommend this lovely restaurant enough and will definitely be back soon! Thank you Anamma!

The staff is professional and very friendly and supportive with the menu. The plates were very well prepared and cooked, the tastes combined the traditional cuisine with the fine dining experience.

We have been here for a brunch, lovely place, quite fancy I would say. It is very quiet and relaxing, the service is very attentive! Menu includes quite a variety of items, mainly breakfast one with quite a few pages of desserts. We had an home lette with mushrooms and ham which was lovely, the feta and spinach pie was good too! My daughter choose the strawberry and chocolate pancake but ended up eating the chocolate namelaka. For me the only thing I would change is to add a crunchy layer on the namelaka, maybe a crunchy feuillantine at the bottom stick to the sponge and put something a bit more liquid in the middle, to make it maybe a bit less heavy, but flavour was good overall! Prices are reasonable too considering the place
