Leon’s architectural elements are both gothic and neoclassical and can be seen from street to street or in a single structure. The Cathedral of Leon, which houses the tomb of the famous Nicaraguense poet Ruben Dario, took on both eras of architecture during the 113 years it took to build.

When you combine the young, vibrant culture with walking tours of the incredible historical architecture with the amazing street food you get a true view of Nicaragua life.

This city tour is one of our more tame tours, but don’t expect to be sitting much! Granada is best explored on foot, exploring the narrow streets, peeking into the gorgeous colonial homes, wandering the market for fresh fruit, vegetables, and fish (maybe finding something good for the evenings dinner).
