How safe is Managua?
There could be crime anywhere but only happend to me a few times without even realizing it. I wasn't attacked or anything, just robbed. My phone was stolen 3 times on the bus when it was full, I couldn't notice it. Besides that I haven't experienced anything traumatic.
Posted: December 26, 2024Managua is a beautiful city with many trees and friendly people who are trying to survive the day to day. There is not much to see but I recommend the archeology museum and the footprints of Acahualinca if you are interested in learning a bit about the ancient history. Natural Chocoyero reserve is a gorgeous place to go to.
