The capital of Nicaragua, Managua, on the southern shore of Lake Managua is home to more than a quarter of Nicaragua's population. There are several of Managua's attractions around the Plaza de la Republica including the National Cathedral and the National Palace.
The musical fountain is spectacular every night at dusk and is surrounded by magnificent buildings that add to the magical atmosphere of the fountain.
There are many great artists in Managua and a visit to an art gallery shouldn't be missed and also the opportunity to pick up some local art from the Central Market.
For great views over the city take a trip to Tiscapa Hill where you can see the city and the lake as well as the Footprints of Acahualinca.
