The Nicosia Tourism Board invites visitors to look at the historic centre through a series of themed walks. Each route offers a different way into the city, from Venetian walls and old streets to Byzantine heritage, museums and literary life. The programme suits curious visitors and residents who enjoy exploring on foot with a guide.
Walled City Landmarks connects Eleftheria Square with the streets and monuments of the old city. The History route adds layers of the capital’s past, while Byzantine Heritage focuses on churches and ecclesiastical monuments. City of Letters follows publishing, libraries and literary memory. Museum After Hours includes an evening visit to the Cyprus Museum.
The featured English Landmarks walks run on 12, 19 and 26 November and 10, 15, 17 and 26 December 2026, 17:30–19:30. English History walks are on 17 November and 8 December, 10:30–13:30. Byzantine Heritage is on 24 November and City of Letters on 27 November, both 10:30–13:30. Museum After Hours is on 2 December, 18:30–20:30. A Greek Landmarks walk is offered on 5 December, 10:30–13:00. These are separate bookable sessions.
The listed walks begin at Eleftheria Square. Their length ranges from two to three hours, giving each theme room for close observation and conversation along the way. Select the date and language that suit your plans when booking.
