- David APreston, UK500 contributionsHaving visited Nicosia, I felt that I should go through the border in to Turkish Cyprus. The procedure is straightforward as you just show your passport at both ends. There is definitely a different feel to the Turkish side. Whilst there you can visit Buyuk Han - interesting without being amazing.Written March 2, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- mrc282United States6,010 contributionsthe observation deck is on 11th floor of the tower and is entirely indoors. however, the windows can be opened for photography
I was hoping to see the shape of walled city but that is not realistic since the buildings themselves are taller than the surrounding wall!

We would like to come back after reopening it. Originally it was built aa a Gothic church, and the kings of Cyprus were crowned here. It was called St. Sophia Cathedral until 1954. Nowadays it’s the main mosque of Nicosia.Written April 22, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Aayushi S7 contributionsDefinitely one of the better museums in Nicosia! It's quite modern and has nice exhibits - it has a collection of A.G. Leventis' personal art collection from Cyprus, Greece, France and Italy.
Good for a few hours on a rainy day or when it's too hot to be outdoors.Written December 19, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The monastery is not huge, but it is well kept. You can access the church part. There is also a show with the gifts you would expect. The views are fantastic. You can drive several km to one of the villages for lunch.Written August 18, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MaryTucson, AZ35 contributionsSizewise this is more of a small chapel. There is not a surface anywhere that isn't covered with exquisite artwork associated with Orthodox Church. The entire complex is important for many reasons including Archbishop Mackarios who was president of Cyprus and active in unification of Cyprus with Greece. Next door to this are special cars allegedly given to him by the USA as well as government buildings. I had an outstanding guide who knows history. She made the entire history of Cyprus clear to me for the the first time.Written March 11, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- duhozBeroun, Czech Republic6,201 contributionsWell preserved and interesting Venetian walls weave throughout the city and it is the landmark. You will come across the walls immediately when you step off the bus. Just under the bus station you can relax in nice park and admire the walls. The walls constructed between 1567 and 1570 to keep off the Ottomans invaders.Written November 18, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
