"A lot better than 10 years ago !!!!!" Top 5 Page for this destination Managua by jlanza29

Managua is a capital city with no real tourist attractions. All places of interest are out of the city ......Canadians, and various European nationalities come to Nicaragua and head straight to the beach resorts an hour and half away. In the last 5 years major improvement have happened in the beach resorts.....but the city is slowly coming to life. Use lots of common sense traveling in Managua...leave all jewlery home, drive with the windows up and avoid badly lit streets at night !!!!! Cheap and decent food is very common, the US dollar goes a long way here. The nightlife is improving dramatically....with the right people you will find Managua unique !!!!

• Pros:cheap !!!!!
• Cons:Use lots of common sense
• In a nutshell:Cheaper and less touristy than neighbor Costa Rica
