Granada - Hub of Nicaraguan Tourism

One of the most popular places for visitors to go when they travel to Nicaragua is the town of Granada. This little colonial town is a look into antiquity and what the area seemed like when Europeans conquered the area. The metropolis includes colonial construction constructed during the Spanish settlement and is still captivating to look upon. The city has kept alive its old world character across the years. Yet, it feels comparable to a trip backwards through history and with locals assembling outside on their verandas, the classic European- style buildings and horse-drawn coaches strolling around.

If you select to stay in Granada, be sure to take time to soak up its native beauty and culture. Head to Lake Nicaragua, one of the biggest lakes in Central America and spend time traveling around its outskirts. The natural charms around the lake and space in general, are spectacular to picture and just about unfathomable to imagine. Plus, the volcano peaks in the background provide a mysterious background to the region that adds to its mysticism. Go on a trip up Volcano Mombacho, and be sure to visit the local colonial buildings, particularly the cathedrals, and dig yourself deep into the culture of the locals.

Granada is the fourth largest city in Nicaragua, with a population just over 191,000. It was founded by Cordoba in 1524, and is one of the first settlements built in the Americas. Despite being the oldest and one of the bigger cities in the country, it continues to be rare because of its colonial construction and bond to the western world. It is promptly turning out to be the largest tourist destination in Nicaragua, which is assisting the city develop and modernize quickly.
