Nestled between the exotic blue hues of the southern Mediterranean and the towering Troodos Mountains, the city of Limassol offers a living, breathing contrast between old and new. Tour the old town at your pace, see all the sights or kick back at a cafe between shopping sprees, the choice is yours.
Start the day at a leisurely pace with a guided walk around Limassol Old Town. During your free time you can take a walk along the colourful alleys of the Old Town with its hip cafes sandwiched between shops and newly renovated bars. For a bit of history in the centre of the city, head straight to the Medieval Castle. There's no better place to journey back in time than the site where it is reputed Richard the Lionheart married Berengaria of Navarre in 1191, crowning her Queen of England.
Walk further towards the sea and discover the glamorous and newly developed marina. Once there, you'll find plenty of entertainment on hand to enjoy whatever tickles your fancy. If you want to step into a world of optical illusions and play tricks on your brain, then choose the ticket option that includes entry to the Paradox Museum – it's right by the marina. If shopping is on your agenda, then there are plenty of shops to indulge in a spot of retail therapy, or you can simply kick back at one of the cafes and take in the views.
