Granada nowadays is characterized by bright-colored Spanish‐colonial architecture, visible all over the city centre. The authenticity of the city centre is protected by regulatory building requirements. The ambiance is very pleasant and there is a wide range of nice restaurants and bars, especially along the boulevard from the central park to the shores of the Lake of Nicaragua. The city, also referred to as the ´Colonial Jewel´, is the main tourist destination in Nicaragua and can be reached easily from Costa Rica as well. Also, Granada is a good starting point to visit the Isla de Ometepe, situated in the lake of Nicaragua and consisting of two volcanoes that, through their past eruptions, have created a big island.
Granada, the colonial jewel of Nicaragua!
