Culture vultures will want to head to the 14th Century castle, where Richard the Lionheart married Queen Berengaria. In nearby Curium, admire the sights of the famous Roman ruins. If you fancy tasting some local wines, take a wine factory tour in Kolossi, and a day of wine tasting return to Limassol and experience a tipsy shopping scene! Jewellery fans will find great deals in the Old Town as well as other handmade items such as leather gifts. Experiencing the local market is a must as they offer a wide range of homegrown vegetables and fish.
Culture
Limassol is famous for its festivals, and deservedly so! At the start of September, a Wine festival takes place, where you can taste a range of wines free of charge whilst traditional folk dancing keeps you entertained. The Carnival parade is also a must see, as is May's Flower festival. Theatre lovers will love the numerous Shakesperean nights which take place over the year.
Nightlife
Limassol nightlife here may not be as lively as that of Ayia Napa but it has its fair share of places to go. There are plenty of clubs, bars and tavernas all over the city, which is also well known for live music. Party late into the night, or enjoy a laid back meal in one of the variety of restaurants on offer. There are plenty of traditional tavernas as well as international foods and the obligatory chain restaurants, so whatever you fancy, you'll find it here.
