Granted the prestigious title of Cyprus' largest city, Nicosia charms with echoes of a 4,500-year-old past intermingling with modern life. Nestled in the heart of the Mesaoria plain, it stands as the capital and the veritable seat of government of Cyprus. As the city peeled through centuries, its power and influence unravelled in its Greek and Turkish communities, becoming a tell-tale sign of their spirited survival.

Etched in its streets is a shared story, where a militarized border not only demarcates the Republic of Cyprus and Northern Cyprus, but also announces Nicosia's position as the EU's Knavish southeastern-most capital. A journey into this city reveals its standing as a thriving financial and international business hub, an epithet backed by its 32nd place in the world's richest cities in 2018 in terms of purchasing power.

The Bronze Age chronicles etched in its DNA, its time as the capital of the Kingdom of Cyprus, the Frankish rule-dotted skyscape, the remnants of Ottoman rule, and its subsequent revelling in independent glory as the capital of the Republic of Cyprus in 1960 invites an exploration like no other. Unlock these cherished narratives with a visit to this city eternally bathed in the purity of its name, Nicosia, meaning 'white state' or 'city of white gods'.

When to visit Nicosia

Nicosia is a city of all seasons, each holding up a mirror to its manifold charms. So, when to visit? The decision depends on what you fancy. If a laid-back discovery of this historical city, minus the maddening crowd and high prices, sounds appealing, plan a trip in the off-season. While some attractions may be closed, you'll find a peaceful nook in the city's heart to revel in.

Festivity flourishes in Nicosia during late spring and early fall when cultural festivals colour the city's everyday life, attracting global tourists. But if the loud cheer of holidaying families and the thrill of joining the locals in their beach frenzy tempts you, summer is your perfect bet. Brace yourself for high temperatures, bustling coastal areas, and the exhilarating feeling of being a part of full-on holiday fun.

And let's not forget winter. The season takes on a gentler, familial hue in Nicosia, with local traditions becoming the focus of celebrations. Wrap your travel plans in the warm embrace of these local customs and create memories that will keep you warm for years to come.
