The capital of Cyprus lies along the Pedieos River and is a city divided. The south, also known as Lefkosia, is part of the Republic of Cyprus, while the north is the capital of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. Explore both sides of this unique city by crossing the Green Line UN buffer zone – you’ll discover ancient ruins, Venetian walls and plenty of museums. This is our pick of the best hotels in Nicosia, from luxury adults-only boutique hotels for couples, to convenient business hotels for work trips.
