 My Tica Bus at the
Nicaragua/Honduras Border by Stephen-KarenConn, 4 more photos
The trip was in two legs. On the first day we left in the early afternoon for a four hour ride to San Salvador, El Salvador, where the bus and all the passengers stopped for the night. The next day was much longer, 12 hours, from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m., and included two border crossings as we traveled through El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua. The bus stopped to clear immigration and customs at both borders - which was no real hassle. We made only one other 20 minute stop, for gas and food in Honduras. The bus was modern, comfortable, air conditioned and restroom equipped. They also showed about three movies along the way, but I preferred to keep my nose glued to the window and view the passing countryside. I also met several interesting people on the bus - local folks, businessmen and backpackers from various parts of the world. It was a very pleasant and memorable travel experience. the total cost, round trip, was only $90US, which is hundreds of dollars less than an airline ticket from Guatemala City to Managua.
The Tica Bus station in Managua was heavily guarded. In the last photo you will see the high gate which was opened just long enough to allow our bus to enter, and then shut and locked behind us. Armed guards were on duty around the clock. Leave a Comment

 Rolando and His Taxi by Stephen-KarenConn
It turned out to be a great deal for both of us. We spent a half day seeing the major sites of Managua, including a couple that I did not know to ask about. I was so pleased with Rolando's service that I gave him a generous tip, which meant both of us were happy. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

Don't even think about renting a car unless your a local and you know where you are going...if anything arrange a driver from the hotel and have him drive you around, not many tourist venture in the city..... most tourist come and go straight to the beach. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

Don't even think about taking the local bus......your just looking for trouble at that point !!!!! The buses run it seem everywhere, but the chances that you get on the right bus are slim and the chances that you exist the bus with all of your possesions...even slimmer !!!!! Don't be cheap.....Take a taxi.....ask for the price then bargain for the fare......from one side of the city to the other runs about $4 US......for being cheap you might end up in more touble than youv've evr encountered !!!!!!

I have rented a car several times when visiting Managua and have never, that's right never had a problem. It allows you the freedom to drive up to Granada one day then Leon, the beaches etc. I have found the police to be helpful and people will go out of their way if you get lost. Everywhere you go has "secured" parking which is usually a guy watching the lot and again never any problems there either. I have heard the horror stories about drving in Nicaragua but oddly in my half dozen trips there have yet to actually meet anyone that had a problem while renting. I do advise that you make sure your spare tire is good as it is not unusual to get a flat thouhg finding a place that can repair the tire is usually quite easy. Theme: Car/Motor Home

If you really want to experience Managua....then head to the market....and when I mean market....it's a market unlike any market you have ever seen in your life !!!!! Stay on the many isle and stay away from people trying to exhange your US dollars for the local currency !!!! Be forwarned....when entering the meat part of the market be ready for the horrible stink that you have never smelled in your life !!!! as all the meats are hung on hooks ready to be sold !!!! You can literally buy just about anything here someone tried selling me a baby cub tiger of all things !!!!!!....just use lots of common sense......leave all your possesions at home, bring small amounts of money and you should be ok if you get robbed !!!!!!!!!!

The Rubén Darío National Theater is one of the few buildings in the Area Monumental that survived the devastating earthquake of 1972. It was named in honor of Nicaragua's most renowned poets, Rubén Darío, whose likeness can be seen on the 100-cordoba note. The theater sits beside Plaza de la Fe and overlooks Lake Managua. Behind the theater are the Old Cathedral, the National Palace and other important Managua landmarks.
The Nicaraguan National Theater is a leading venue for cultural life in Managua, including music, theater and the visual arts. Leave a Comment
