It is the largest cathedral in all of Central America and one of the oldest, having been built in the early 19th century in the electric style. Today it has a title of a World Heritage Site because its robustness has made it stand the test of time, withstanding wars, eruptions and earthquakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The interior is simple, but houses the tombs of some of the country&#8217;s most famous poets, such as Rub\u00e9n Dar\u00edo. You can also stroll around its white fa\u00e7ade. The cathedral is open from 10am to 7pm daily except for Sundays, when opening hours are governed by masses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped

Church of San Francisco<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Located on Calle Real in Le\u00f3n, this church presents a mixture of various styles: an eclectic exterior and a colonial-baroque style interior.&nbsp; The Church of San Francisco is one of the oldest temples in the city of Le\u00f3n, built in 1639, together with the convent of the same name. Two of Nicaragua&#8217;s finest altars of the purest Spanish Plateresque style are preserved in the church. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The celebration of La Pur\u00edsima originated in this church, during the night of the 7th of December. This is where the Griter\u00eda, Nicaragua&#8217;s largest religious manifestation, takes place. It also houses the image of San Benito de Palermo, a prodigious and much loved image, in whose honour mass has been celebrated since 1924, the object of mass devotion every Holy Monday, when the image is carried in procession through the streets of Le\u00f3n. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Convent of San Francisco is the first and oldest convent with its church in the city of Le\u00f3n. Today the Hotel El Convento is one of the best boutique hotels in Nicaragua, which dazzles with its decoration and beautiful colonial garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8-La-Recolleccion-Church\"><\/span>8. La Recolleccion&nbsp;Church<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>La Recolleccion&nbsp;Church is one of the most important baroque churches in Nicaragua. Today it is considered one of the most beautiful churches in Le\u00f3n, whose lavishly decorated fa\u00e7ade has ended up on the cover of many magazines. The construction of the Iglesia La Recolecci\u00f3n heralded the arrival of Mexican baroque in Le\u00f3n. The broad baroque fa\u00e7ade is considered the most important of this artistic movement in Le\u00f3n. The interior of the church has a notable neoclassical influence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The construction of the Church La Recolecci\u00f3n began in December 1786 under the orders of Bishop Juan F\u00e9lix de Villegas. The Iglesia La Recolecci\u00f3n was declared National Artistic Heritage, according to a decree published in La Gaceta in 1983.<\/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-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"794\" data-attachment-id=\"31474\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/nicaragua\/things-to-do-leon-nicaragua\/attachment\/la-recolleccion-church-leon-nicaragua\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/La-Recolleccion-Church-Leon-Nicaragua.webp?fit=600%2C794&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"600,794\" 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=\"La Recolleccion\u00a0Church Leon Nicaragua\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/La-Recolleccion-Church-Leon-Nicaragua.webp?fit=227%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/La-Recolleccion-Church-Leon-Nicaragua.webp?fit=600%2C794&amp;ssl=1\" data-id=\"31474\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/La-Recolleccion-Church-Leon-Nicaragua.webp?resize=600%2C794&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"La Recolleccion\u00a0Church Leon Nicaragua\" class=\"wp-image-31474\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/La-Recolleccion-Church-Leon-Nicaragua.webp?w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/La-Recolleccion-Church-Leon-Nicaragua.webp?resize=227%2C300&amp;ssl=1 227w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-attachment-id=\"31475\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/nicaragua\/things-to-do-leon-nicaragua\/attachment\/travel-to-leon-nicaragua-3\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/travel-to-Leon-Nicaragua.webp?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=\"travel to Leon Nicaragua\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/travel-to-Leon-Nicaragua.webp?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/travel-to-Leon-Nicaragua.webp?fit=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1\" data-id=\"31475\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/travel-to-Leon-Nicaragua.webp?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"travel to Leon Nicaragua\" class=\"wp-image-31475\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/travel-to-Leon-Nicaragua.webp?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/travel-to-Leon-Nicaragua.webp?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/travel-to-Leon-Nicaragua.webp?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-see-around-leon-nicaragua\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-to-see-around-Leon-Nicaragua\"><\/span>What to see around Le\u00f3n, Nicaragua?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-Cerro-Negro-Volcano\"><\/span>1. Cerro Negro Volcano<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This small volcano, at just 725 metres high, is one of the youngest in the world. It can be climbed on foot (the walk takes about an hour) and from the top you can see the entire volcanic chain that runs from the Telica volcano to San Crist\u00f3bal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the climb can be a little tough, it&#8217;s worth it for the descent, which you can do by running, walking or sliding on a kind of sled. This activity is known as Volcanoboarding and you can hire equipment there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The entrance fee is \u20ac5 and there are no buses from the city, so you&#8217;ll have to go by taxi or private vehicle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-The-beaches-of-Leon-Nicaragua\"><\/span>2. The beaches of Le\u00f3n Nicaragua<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two beaches in Le\u00f3n that are ideal for relaxing, sunbathing or playing in the waves. They are well-equipped with services such as restaurants and hotels, and are only 20&nbsp;km from the city. You can easily get there by bus, which leaves every hour from the centre and takes half an hour to get there. The fare is 13 c\u00f3rdobas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The two beaches are called Playa Pe\u00f1itas and Poneloya. Across the Telica River and at the end of Poneloya is another beach called Los Brasiles which is characterised by its virgin state and is usually always very quiet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div

it&#8217;s a perfect getaway to do if you&#8217;re staying in Managua or Granada. In one day you can see the city centre, the cathedral and the museums. If you drive your own car, you can also see the volcano and Le\u00f3n Viejo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you prefer a more leisurely trip, we recommend spending at least 3 days here so that you can take in the surrounding area without rushing. The region is beautiful and there is plenty to do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-where-and-what-to-eat-in-leon-nicaragua\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where-and-what-to-eat-in-Leon-Nicaragua\"><\/span>Where and what to eat in Le\u00f3n, Nicaragua?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Le\u00f3n has a very varied gastronomy, with a wide variety of dishes typical of the region. Most of them share ingredients with the rest of Central American cuisine. We are talking about corn, beans and plantains among others. Here are some of the best known:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Gallo pinto<\/strong>: is a rice dish with beans. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Nacatamal:<\/strong> is a dough filled with meat and vegetables cooked inside a banana leaf. It is very similar to tamales. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bu\u00f1uelos<\/strong>: sweet corn dough balls filled with cheese. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a list of some of the best restaurants in town to try these delicacies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>El Desayunazo: <\/strong>It&#8217;s the ideal place to start the day on the right foot. They prepare the best breakfasts in town, but you can also go for lunch or brunch. At a very affordable price, you can have breakfast like a real Nicaraguan. What&#8217;s more, the quantities are enormous. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Carnivoro: <\/strong>is a local restaurant specializing in meat. Among its dishes, we highlight the churrasco, a classic. You can eat well for around \u20ac25-30. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>El Sesteo: <\/strong>is one of the city&#8217;s most reputable restaurants. It&#8217;s located in the cathedral square and the food is good, but the views are unbeatable. It&#8217;s not the cheapest, but it&#8217;s a great place to eat. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"669\" data-attachment-id=\"31477\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/nicaragua\/things-to-do-leon-nicaragua\/attachment\/where-to-stay-in-leon-nicaragua\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/where-to-stay-in-leon-nicaragua.jpg?fit=1000%2C669&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1000,669\" 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=\"where-to-stay-in-leon-nicaragua\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/where-to-stay-in-leon-nicaragua.jpg?fit=300%2C201&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/where-to-stay-in-leon-nicaragua.jpg?fit=1000%2C669&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/where-to-stay-in-leon-nicaragua.jpg?resize=1000%2C669&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"where to stay in leon nicaragua\" class=\"wp-image-31477\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/where-to-stay-in-leon-nicaragua.jpg?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/where-to-stay-in-leon-nicaragua.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/where-to-stay-in-leon-nicaragua.jpg?resize=768%2C514&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cerro Negro volcano @pixabay<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-where-to-stay-in-leon\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where-to-stay-in-Leon\"><\/span>Where to stay in Leon?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Le\u00f3n is a very touristy city in Nicaragua, so there is a wide range of hotels to suit all budgets. You&#8217;ll find everything from fully equipped hotels to backpacker hostels. There are also rooms for rent in many flats in the city. Here are a few of our favourite places to stay: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Hostal El Rio: <\/strong>This simple and cosy hostel is the best place to save on your trip. From \u20ac8 you can spend the night in a bunk bed and have access to shared spaces such as garden, kitchen and living room. Breakfast is included in the price. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hostal Casa Abierta:<\/strong> is a beautiful guest house with a lovely garden and swimming pool. It also has a restaurant and bar on the terrace. The price per night is around \u20ac30 and the continental breakfast is \u20ac3. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hotel la Perla Leon: <\/strong>This 4-star hotel is one of the most luxurious and comfortable in the city. It has a swimming pool and rooms with all the comforts. The price per night is around \u20ac130 and includes breakfast. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-get-to-leon\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-to-get-to-Leon\"><\/span>How to get to Le\u00f3n?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Le\u00f3n does not have its own airport, the nearest being in the country&#8217;s capital. Therefore, the only way to reach the municipality is by road or bus. These are the main cities from where you can go to Le\u00f3n, Nicaragua:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Managua Airport:<\/strong> From Managua airport you can get there by taxi for about 100 cordobas or by bus for 24 cordobas which takes 1h and 15. You can also share a taxi for 40 cordobas. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Managua:<\/strong> There are three buses from Managua to Le\u00f3n that take 1.5 hours and cost 60-71 c\u00f3rdobas. The one that leaves from the Israel Lewites Market has a 30-minute frequency, and the minibuses leave every time they fill up. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Esteli:<\/strong> Buses leave several times a day from the north and south stations. They take about 2 hours and cost 90 c\u00f3rdobas. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chinandega:<\/strong> There is a bus every 20 minutes, which takes 1.5 hours and costs 20 c\u00f3rdobas, and another minibus every time it is full. The minibus costs 37 cordobas but only takes 40 minutes. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-6 is-layout-flex
