Managua Sights

  1. Galería Códice

    Besides being the hippest progressive art exhibition space in the country, Galería Códice's mix of openings, unusual performances and other offbeat offerings make it the place to hook up with Managua's creative elite.

  2. Huellas de Acahualinca

    Discovered by miners in 1874, the Footprints of Acahualinca are perhaps Managua's most intriguing site, and shouldn't be missed. These fossilized tracks record the passage of perhaps 10 people - men, women and children as well as birds, raccoons and deer - across the muddy shores of Lago de Managua some 6000 years ago.

  3. Palacio Nacional de la Cultura

    Adjacent to the Old Cathedral, the 1935 Palacio Nacional de la Cultura houses the Museo Nacional. The timeline starts only 500 million years ago, as Nicaragua is one of the newest places on earth, and takes visitors through the formation of the lakes and volcanoes - not to mention gold mines - before getting to pre-Columbian statuary and one of the best pottery collections in the country, all well signed and explained.
