Top things to do in Nicosia
The most popular sights, with 2026 entrance fees. Prices are adult admission — cheapest at the gate. Many of the best things are free.
| Attraction | Entrance | Time | Why go |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ledra Street & the UN Buffer Zone Crossing | Free | 1–3 hours | Nicosia's main pedestrian shopping street runs straight into the UN buffer zone, where a passport-controlled checkpoint lets visitors walk between the Republic of Cyprus and the Turkish-controlled north on foot — the defining experience of visiting the world's last divided capital. |
| Cyprus Museum | €4.50 | 1.5–2 hours | The island's largest and oldest archaeological museum, holding the definitive collection of Cypriot antiquities from the Neolithic period through Roman times, including the famed terracotta figurines from the Ayia Irini sanctuary. |
| Büyük Han (Great Inn) | Free | 45 minutes–1 hour | The largest and best-preserved 16th-century Ottoman caravanserai on Cyprus, restored into a lively courtyard of craft workshops, galleries, and cafés — one of the top free things to see on the north side of the old town. |
| Selimiye Mosque (formerly St. Sophia Cathedral) | Free | 20–30 minutes | A soaring 13th-century French Gothic cathedral converted into a mosque under Ottoman rule, with twin minarets added to the original cathedral facade — the most striking building in North Nicosia, reopened in May 2025 after a multi-year restoration. |
| Shacolas Tower – Ledra Museum Observatory | €2.50 | 30–45 minutes | An 11th-floor observation deck atop a Ledra Street department store giving the best panoramic view over both the walled old town and the Turkish-controlled north, with exhibits on the city's divided history. |

About Nicosia
Nicosia is the world's last divided capital — an inland walled city of museums, Venetian fortifications and buzzing old-town cafés, where you can cross the Green Line on foot. It's about history and urban life, not the beach.
