When people look for a place to travel, retire, or invest in real estate, Nicaragua isn’t usually a country they consider. Many people still associate the country with violence and unrest, and don’t realize that, at least in many places, Nicaragua is a safe and beautiful place to visit. Part of Nicaragua’s charm is its relative unknown status—it’s just as vibrant and colorful as nearby Costa Rica or Panama, but without all of the crowds and noise.

Of Nicaragua’s popular cities, Granada is the least traveled, and still exists as something of a hidden gem for intrepid visitors. The city is full of life and character, featuring colorful Spanish Colonial buildings, quaint and charming city streets, and a rich and lush natural setting.

Life in Granada is relaxed. Rocking chairs beckon in breezy outdoor courtyards, and there is always time for a long lunch. The laid-back vibe is infectious, although those used to more hustle and bustle may find the lack of a sense of urgency unsettling at first.

The people in Granada are warm, welcoming and friendly, and they know how to live life to the fullest. Don’t be surprised if you are asked to join the party—and don’t be surprised if the party lasts all night.

Granada offers something for every traveler—from eco-tourists, to history buffs, to thrill-seekers, to those looking for relaxation or a romantic getaway. Dining, amenities, entertainment and transportation are all very affordable, so even those on a budget can have a great time.

Fun Facts

While small, Granada is one of Nicaragua’s most significant cities—culturally, financially and historically. Founded in 1524, it was the first city to be established by Europeans in mainland America, and was registered in the Crown of Aragon’s official records.

The city was routinely invaded by English, French and Dutch pirates looking to take over the country. It also served as the residence of William Walker, the infamous American who conquered Nicaragua and tried to take over the whole of Central America. He was eventually driven out of the city, but not before he set it ablaze. Fire damage is still evident on many of Granada’s buildings.

Getting Around

Getting around Granada is not difficult. Granada is not far from Managua, where the country’s international airport is located. Taking the bus from Managua to Granada is easy—buses are very cheap, run frequently and can take you anywhere you need to go.

Climate

The temperature in Granada stays relatively stable year round, and typically ranges between 86 and 92 degrees during the day and 69 and 75 at night. That said, temperatures can change dramatically with elevation; the higher up you go, the cooler the air gets.

While Nicaragua lacks the traditional seasonal changes found farther north and farther south, it does have two main “seasons.” During the wet season, which lasts from May through October, rain is abundant. The rivers swell and the landscape comes to life with brilliant green foliage and colorful flowers. The dry season, which lasts from November through April, brings cooler air, lower humidity and little rainfall.

Most travelers prefer to visit Granada during the dry season. However, there are benefits to visiting in the wet season. Because of its location on the western side of Nicaragua, rainfall is lighter in Granada, and tropical storms are less likely. In addition, the wet season is the slow season for tourism. There are fewer crowds, and hotels and restaurants are more likely to offer discounts and specials to bring in business.

Accommodations

Granada offers everything from luxury boutique hotels, to spa retreats, to eco-lodges. Whether you want to stay in a quaint and charming Spanish Colonial-style inn, or you are looking for 55-star accommodations with full amenities, you’ll find what you’re looking for in this city.

Dining

There are many fine restaurants in Granada, and many excellent mom-and-pop-style eateries that offer delicious local fare for cheap. But the best dining experience may come from an unexpected place—the street. Street vendors are everywhere in Granada, serving up food that’s delicious, fast and cheap. Wandering from vendor to vendor to try new things really is a great way to spend an afternoon.

Things to Do

Reserva Natural Volcan Mombacho: This is a definite must-visit for nature lovers and those looking to head out for a good hike. A maintained hiking trail leads visitors through a lush cloud forest, where they can view exotic plants and flowers, and potentially catch a glimpse of sloths, monkeys and colorful native birds. The view from the summit is breathtaking, and well worth the climb. If you’d prefer not to hike, guides are available to drive you up to the top.

Islets of Granada: One of Granada’s most popular natural attractions is the large group of islets that extend over Lake Nicaragua. Kayak tours of these small islands are abundant and affordable. Both long and short tours are available, so you can spend as much time as you like out on the water. The scenery is beautiful—the lake is tranquil, and the lush green islets sit against a blue mountain backdrop. The boat trip into the islets can be a bit arduous, but it is well worth it.

Iglesia de la Merced: This cathedral shows its age, but that’s part of what gives it character. It’s a beautiful building to photograph and explore, but don’t leave until you have climbed the bell tower. For about a dollar, you can get an incredible view of the entire city.
