Managua
Upon first (and probably second) glance, Managua seems to offer little in the way of tourist attractions, and things to see and do in the city. In fact, Managua appears less of a city, and more of a pueblo with no real downtown center, where buildings, restaurants, and historical sites are scattered throughout the town. However, for those who don’t mind digging away at the surface, Managua can uncover some interesting finds.
