Managua is the largest city in Nicaragua and the capital. It is a city of contrasts, with a rich colonial history and a vibrant modern culture. The city centre is a colonial gem, with narrow streets and Spanish-style churches. The modern city spreads out from here, with wide avenues, shopping malls and a growing number of high-rise buildings. There is a lot to see and do in Managua, from exploring the colonial centre to relaxing on the beaches of Lake Managua. The city is also a great base for exploring the rest of Nicaragua, with its volcanoes, lakes and forests.
