Tips from locals
The Famagusta Gate is a gate in the Nicosia walls, Cyprus. It is the chief gate of the city: the Porta Giuliana, or "di sotto" of Fra Stefano Lusignano's " Chorograffia", known as Famagusta Gate in modern times. This construction, in the Venetian style has been copied from the famous Lazaretto Gate of Candia designed by Michael Sammicheli at the beginning of the 16th century, and consists of a vaulted passage through the earthwork rampart of the city with a carefully executed spherical dome, eleven metres in diameter, in its centre.

A nice street next to Famagusta gate with coffee shops and restaurants. There is usually an exhibition in Famagusta gate you can visit.
Sightseeing, along the old walls, a museum and art gallery with frequent exhibitions. Some good little cafes and restaurants along here too.
