It's a pretty run down capital city, but the country itself is a tropical treasure.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

There are lots of interesting things to see in the Managua area which I have visited in the past. At present,(2020) it is not safe to move around the country because of the coronavirus and political concerns. Don't give up on this beautiful country

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

We did not stay in the town but for the night. We had a guy take us around the town and to the masaya volcano. After driving around the town, I am very glad that we didn’t spend more time there.

Come to Managua it’s not so hot like lot of the people think. But, use the air conditioning of your car if you want to be more comfortable

Its a great place with rich culture, but like any big city it has its downfalls. Be smart, be aware, and try to travel in groups.

4/5 - Good

There should be a lot more information about the city and the country. It's a nice city and the country is absolutely beautiful. If you want more tourism you'll have sell yourself in a better way.
