Its colorful streets, beautiful architecture, historic churches, museums, and lively plazas offer plenty to discover, while a selection of charming hotels and excellent restaurants make it an enjoyable place to stay.
The city also makes an excellent base for exploring the surrounding area, with volcanoes, beaches, national parks, and the incredible waterways of Las Isletas de Granada all within easy reach.
