Free city tour of old Nicosia

Kyrenia Gate

Cyprus Tourist Guides Association (KITREB), in collaboration with the Finance and Tourism Ministry and the Antiquities and Museums Department are offering free tours of the old city of Nicosia three times a week.

The two hour tour guides visitors through the walled city of Lefkosa, the Mevlevi Museum, Samanbahce Houses, the Venetian Column, Dervis Pasa Mansion, the Great Inn, Selimiye Mosque, Bedesten, Lapidary Museum, Eaved House, Arasta and many other historical landmarks.

These city tours are being held with the aim of assisting tourists interested in learning more about the history of the old city of Nicosia.

Tours are held on Mondays, Wednesdays and Friday, starting at 10.00 in front of the Tourist Information Office at the Kyrenia Gate, and 10.30 at the Lokmaci crossing point. Booking is not required.

If you are unable to visit Nicosia on those days, just follow the blue line painted on the pavement. This circular trail will take you past most places of interest, and at the Lokmaci crossing point, joins a similar trail of south Nicosia.
