Why Old Nicosia within the Venetian Walls matters
The old city is encircled by well-preserved Venetian walls built in a star shape. Inside are lanes, churches, craft workshops and a pedestrian shopping street. The buffer zone passes through the area, so parts of the old town are closed. Take your time and enjoy cafes in the quieter side streets.
Talking points
