Managua and Corn Islands for Families
When it comes to a family holiday, Managua, the capital city, is a fascinating base packed with zoos, a volcano park and vibrant markets. Find comfortable, family-orientated accommodation in the city centre. In contrast, the tropical paradise of Corn Islands holds the romance of Robinson Crusoe, boasting incredible marine life and a relaxed Caribbean vibe, making it perfect for older kids and teens.
Leon for Friend Groups
If you're holidaying with friends, adventurous Leon offers the thrilling volcano boarding challenge. Gear yourself up in a laidback guesthouse, then head out for historic tours, exciting trekking and a buzzing nightlife.
Nicaragua is blessed with a pleasant tropical climate all year round, with the dry season (mid-November to April) being the most popular time to visit due to the lesser likelihood of rainfall. It's during this time that beach and sun holidays are at their most enjoyable, while hiking and nature trips also excel under the dry, sunny conditions.
However, the wet season between May and early November also has its charm when Nicaragua's landscape comes alive with lush green foliage. Despite the chance of showers, this off-peak season means fewer crowds and lower prices, ideal for those travelling on a budget and not deterred by a bit of rain.
