With a privileged location between lakes, volcanoes and natural parks that allow you to enjoy beautiful hiking trails, wildlife watching and activities such as surfing, diving and much more. Managua is usually the starting point for many travellers who visit Nicaragua and sometimes only spend a few hours there, however, the city has a lot to offer and you will discover that in this post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although one day is enough to see the city, it is usually recommended to spend a little more time in order to enjoy the surrounding area. Our goal at Passporter is to tell you everything you need to know to prepare for your trip so that you can make the most of your visit and not miss anything. For example, if you&#8217;ve never been to Nicaragua before, we&#8217;ll give you some travel tips, recommend some of the best places to stay or restaurants where you can try the exquisite food of the country, etc\u2026 What are you waiting for to prepare your trip to Managua? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_81 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Post content<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69d4b1e54ef5c\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #000000;color:#000000\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #000000;color:#000000\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69d4b1e54ef5c\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/nicaragua\/things-to-do-managua\/#What-are-the-best-places-to-see-in-Managua\" >What are the best places to see in&nbsp;Managua?<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/nicaragua\/things-to-do-managua\/#1-Cathedral-of-Santiago-Apostle-in-Managua\" >1.

Its fa\u00e7ade resembles that of the Church of Saint-Sulpice in Paris, France. Its towers are consecrated, the north tower to St. Peter and the south tower to St. Paul, and the central front to the Saviour of the World. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This Cathedral, which suffered the onslaught of three earthquakes, in 1931, in 1972 and the most recent one in April 2014, and whose frame was unharmed, was and still is the pride of the inhabitants of the Capital, constituting the distinctive sign of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure

One of its curiosities is that it was built on what used to be called the Plaza del Cacique Tipitapa, where ten thousand indigenous flecheros were said to be buried.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-National-Museum-of-Nicaragua-in-Managua\"><\/span>3. National Museum of Nicaragua in Managua<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Next to the Plaza de la Revoluci\u00f3n you will find the National Museum of Nicaragua &#8220;Diocleciano Chaves&#8221;, one of the most important in Nicaragua. Inside the museum you can discover topics related to Nicaragua, both colonial history and human populations (especially the archaeology of Nicaragua), as well as aspects of the natural history of the area occupied by Nicaragua (palaeontology, fauna, flora and present-day ecosystems). In addition to natural history specimens, the collections include items from pre-Columbian tribes and cultures over 4,000 years old. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Admission to the museum costs 2\u20ac and opening hours are Monday to Friday from 8:00h to 18:00h and Saturdays from 8:00h to 12:00h.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"

There are also areas set up for outdoor dining, but access costs 29 c\u00f3rdobas. There are also boat trips on the lake from the harbour.

In 1999 it was declared Cultural Heritage of the Nation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was the scene of the famous &#8220;Operaci\u00f3n chanchera&#8221;, the popular name for the action carried out by a guerrilla commando of the Sandinista National Liberation Front on 22 August 1978, at the time when the Somoza National Congress was in session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" data-attachment-id=\"31320\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/nicaragua\/things-to-do-managua\/attachment\/municipal-palace-of-culture-of-managua-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Municipal-Palace-of-Culture-of-Managua-1.jpeg?fit=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"600,450\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Municipal-Palace-of-Culture-of-Managua-1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Municipal-Palace-of-Culture-of-Managua-1.jpeg?fit=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Municipal-Palace-of-Culture-of-Managua-1.jpeg?fit=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1\" data-id=\"31320\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Municipal-Palace-of-Culture-of-Managua-1.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Municipal Palace of Culture of Managua\" class=\"wp-image-31320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Municipal-Palace-of-Culture-of-Managua-1.jpeg?w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Municipal-Palace-of-Culture-of-Managua-1.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"445\" data-attachment-id=\"31321\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/nicaragua\/things-to-do-managua\/attachment\/learn-about-the-culture-of-managua\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Learn-about-the-Culture-of-Managua.jpeg?fit=600%2C445&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"600,445\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Learn-about-the-Culture-of-Managua\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Learn-about-the-Culture-of-Managua.jpeg?fit=300%2C223&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Learn-about-the-Culture-of-Managua.jpeg?fit=600%2C445&amp;ssl=1\" data-id=\"31321\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Learn-about-the-Culture-of-Managua.jpeg?resize=600%2C445&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Learn about the Culture of Managua\" class=\"wp-image-31321\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Learn-about-the-Culture-of-Managua.jpeg?w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Learn-about-the-Culture-of-Managua.jpeg?resize=300%2C223&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">Municipal Palace of Culture of Managua<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7-Metropolitan-Cathedral-of-the-Immaculate-Conception-of-Mary-of-Managua\"><\/span>7.

It is currently the seat of the Archdiocese of Managua and is dedicated to the Immaculate Conception of Mary, patron saint of Nicaragua. The cathedral is characterised by 63 domes, which was the number of parishes in the archdiocese at the time of its construction, and a combination of eclectic, Arabic and Romanesque styles, reminiscent of an Islamic mosque. It was designed and built by Mexican architect Ricardo Legorreta between 1991 and 1993. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image aligncentre aligncenter\">\n<figure class=\"size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-attachment-id=\"31322\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/nicaragua\/things-to-do-managua\/attachment\/the-metropolitan-cathedral-of-managua\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/The-Metropolitan-Cathedral-of-Managua.jpeg?fit=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,683\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"The-Metropolitan-Cathedral-of-Managua\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/The-Metropolitan-Cathedral-of-Managua.jpeg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/The-Metropolitan-Cathedral-of-Managua.jpeg?fit=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/The-Metropolitan-Cathedral-of-Managua.jpeg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"The Metropolitan Cathedral of Managua\" class=\"wp-image-31322\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/The-Metropolitan-Cathedral-of-Managua.jpeg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/The-Metropolitan-Cathedral-of-Managua.jpeg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/The-Metropolitan-Cathedral-of-Managua.jpeg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Metropolitan Cathedral of Managua<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-see-around-managua\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-to-see-around-Managua\"><\/span>What to see around Managua?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-El-Chocoyero-National-Park\"><\/span>1. El Chocoyero National Park<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This park is named for the large number of parrots called <em>chocoyos<\/em> that inhabit it. This natural paradise is characterised by waterfalls and dense forests that cover everything. There you can go on excursions of varying degrees of difficulty and go camping. Tents can be rented on site. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the centre of Managua Nicaragua you can go by bus for 90 c\u00f3rdobas. Buses leave from the Huembres Market every weekday every hour from 7:00h to 17:00h and on weekends between 7:00h and 16:00h. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-Montibelli-Private-Nature-Reserve\"><\/span>2. Montibelli Private Nature Reserve<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This nature reserve is famous in Managua Nicaragua for the great variety of birds that live in it. In fact, it is the perfect place for bird watching. Throughout its 162 hectares of extension you will find different hiking trails that run along the steep slopes riddled with trees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The park reaches heights of up to 720 metres, so you&#8217;ll see different types of scenery depending on altitude. While the upper areas are covered in tropical rainforest, the lower areas still have some cultivated fields of lemons, bananas, pineapples and pitahayas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-Masaya-Managuas-volcano-Nicaragua\"><\/span>3. Masaya, Managua&#8217;s volcano Nicaragua<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A mere 22km from Managua is the Masaya volcano, one of the 7 volcanoes still active in the country. Its crater is 635 metres high and inside it there is a constant lake of lava that emits gases such as sulphur dioxide. The park where the volcano is located has an area of 54 square kilometres where you can see two volcanoes, five craters and a volcanological museum. At the foot of the Masaya volcano is a lagoon of the same name, which creates a curious contrast with the mountain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Access by car is very easy, and there is even a road that takes you to one of the craters. It&#8217;s perfectly set up for tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"685\" data-attachment-id=\"31323\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/nicaragua\/things-to-do-managua\/attachment\/what-to-see-in-managua\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/What-to-see-in-Managua.jpg?fit=1024%2C685&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,685\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"What to see in Managua\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/What-to-see-in-Managua.jpg?fit=300%2C201&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/What-to-see-in-Managua.jpg?fit=1024%2C685&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/What-to-see-in-Managua.jpg?resize=1024%2C685&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"What to see in Managua\" class=\"wp-image-31323\" style=\"width:810px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/What-to-see-in-Managua.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/What-to-see-in-Managua.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/What-to-see-in-Managua.jpg?resize=768%2C514&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Landscapes around Managua @pixabay<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-see-in-1-day-in-managua-nicaragua\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-to-see-in-1-day-in-Managua-Nicaragua\"><\/span>What to see in 1 day in Managua, Nicaragua?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Managua is a city you can easily get around in one day, although if you want to see absolutely everything both inside and outside the city, then a week is recommended. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In one day you can see the main sights such as the Plaza de la Revoluci\u00f3n, the Cathedral, the Malec\u00f3n and the port, the National Museum and stroll through the streets without rushing. If you have more time, you should know that there are many other places of interest such as the archaeological museum and the city&#8217;s parks and markets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also many places in the surrounding area where you can organise day trips in the countryside. For example in the Chocoyero National Park or in the different lagoons and volcanoes that are located near the city. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image aligncentre aligncenter\">\n<figure class=\"size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"535\" data-attachment-id=\"31324\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/nicaragua\/things-to-do-managua\/attachment\/surroundings-of-managua\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Surroundings-of-Managua.jpg?fit=800%2C535&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"800,535\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Surroundings-of-Managua\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Surroundings-of-Managua.jpg?fit=300%2C201&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Surroundings-of-Managua.jpg?fit=800%2C535&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Surroundings-of-Managua.jpg?resize=800%2C535&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Surroundings of Managua\" class=\"wp-image-31324\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Surroundings-of-Managua.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Surroundings-of-Managua.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Surroundings-of-Managua.jpg?resize=768%2C514&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Surroundings of Managua @pixabay<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-managua-through-travelers-eyes-what-s-worth-your-time\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Managua-through-travelers-eyes-whats-worth-your-time\"><\/span>Managua through travelers\u2019 eyes: what\u2019s worth your time<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Travelers often agree that Managua isn\u2019t about iconic landmarks but about understanding Nicaragua\u2019s culture and daily life. Many recommend focusing on a few meaningful experiences rather than trying to see everything. Walking around Puerto Salvador Allende, visiting local markets, or spending time at Lake Xolotl\u00e1n are frequently mentioned as worthwhile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several travelers note that Managua works best as a base rather than a standalone destination. Day trips to nearby volcanoes or colonial cities are often highlighted as highlights of staying in the capital. Visitors also appreciate Managua\u2019s food scene, especially casual local eateries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, Managua is recommended for travelers who enjoy authentic urban experiences and see value in using the city as a gateway to the rest of Nicaragua.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-where-and-what-to-eat-in-managua\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where-and-what-to-eat-in-Managua\"><\/span>Where and what to eat in Managua?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nicaraguan cuisine is characteristically varied and uses maize as a base, like many other countries in South America. In Managua, it is common to go to the <em>fritangas<\/em>, places that serve traditional dishes such as <em>tajadas con carne<\/em>, <em>papas rellenas<\/em>, <em>enchiladas<\/em>, <em>tacos <\/em>or cold drinks such as <em>barley <\/em>fresco. Nicaragua is also a great place to enjoy a good cup of coffee. Here are some of the best restaurants in the city to try traditional dishes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Los Ranchos:<\/strong> is a restaurant with traditional Central American cuisine specialising in top quality meat. The price ranges between 15\u20ac and 30\u20ac. They also offer vegan options. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>La Trenza:<\/strong> is a simple, inexpensive restaurant serving traditional cuisine.

The dishes, as well as being delicious, are plentiful and the price is very moderate. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-where-to-stay-in-managua\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where-to-stay-in-Managua\"><\/span>Where to stay in Managua?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the city&#8217;s tourist appeal, it&#8217;s not difficult to find accommodation. However, the problem is where to stay, as the city has tourist attractions in the centre but also in the surrounding areas. The safest and best connected areas to the centre are around the Metrocentro Mall and the Zona Rosa. Here are some recommendations for good accommodation options. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Managua Backpackers Inn:<\/strong> This cosy hostel is a good option for backpackers.

The journey takes about 16 hours and tickets cost around \u20ac1300. Managua&#8217;s international airport is called Augusto C. Sandino and offers several options for getting to the centre. The bus is the cheapest, but it can be difficult to find your way around. Taxis aren&#8217;t too expensive, but you&#8217;ll need to carry cash in local currency. The most convenient and reliable option is to hire a transfer from the hotel, although it&#8217;s not the cheapest. If you&#8217;re touring the country, you might consider renting a car from the airport. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-should-i-consider-before-travelling-to-managua-nicaragua\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-should-I-consider-before-travelling-to-Managua-Nicaragua\"><\/span>What should I consider before travelling to Managua, Nicaragua?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>No visa is required to enter Nicaragua, but a passport valid for at least 6 months is required. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The city is safe, but you are advised to exercise caution and keep an eye on your belongings. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No vaccinations are required to enter the country if you are travelling from Spain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The official language in Nicaragua is Spanish.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The country&#8217;s currency is the c\u00f3rdobas. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is best to change money before you start your trip, as there are shops and restaurants that do not accept credit cards. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The climate is warm all year round, but between June and December is the rainy season.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid eating at street stalls and drinking tap water. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be prepared for medical emergencies &#8211; travel with insurance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-prepare-what-to-see-on-your-trip-to-managua-nicaragua\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-to-prepare-what-to-see-on-your-trip-to-Managua-Nicaragua\"><\/span>How to prepare what to see on your trip to Managua, Nicaragua?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Register or download the Passporter App and discover all its possibilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-499968f5 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/auth\/signup?&amp;ref=blogpassporter5&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=things-to-do-in-managua&amp;utm_term=register-free\" style=\"background-color:#2a7057\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Register for free at Passpoter<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Get inspired by the experiences of other travellers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Create your own itinerary and add the app&#8217;s suggestions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add the stops that interest you most, as well as the restaurants and bars where you want to eat (you can use the points of interest listed in this post as a reference).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Organize your itinerary by route days according to their location on the map (you can get inspiration from the routes we present in the post). <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check the travel budget that the app calculates according to your travel stops, restaurants, and leisure activities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make the modifications you need, and you&#8217;ll be all set for your trip.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Share your experience.
