[Leon] Climb to the top of the pure white cathedral in the City of Lions.

Leon is the second largest city in Nicaragua, located in the western part of the country, and was once the capital and political and cultural center of the country. The name "Leon" means "lion" in Spanish, and the city is characterized by lion statues and motifs that can be seen all over the city. ⸻ 📍Places to visit ・Leon Cathedral (Catedral de León)  → A huge cathedral located in the center of the city  → You can climb to the roof and have the rare experience of walking on the pure white roof  → In the evening, the city and the silhouette of the mountains bathed in golden light are beautiful and recommended ・Old Town Area  → A calm walking spot where colonial-style buildings and art are fused together  → It is also a town with many students, and there are plenty of lively cafes and local restaurants. ⸻ 🕰️ Admission information for the cathedral roof ・Opening hours: Daytime to evening (last admission time varies depending on the season) ・Admission fee: 110 Cordobas (about 400 yen) You take off your shoes before going up to the roof ・The white roof reflects sunlight strongly, so sunglasses and a hat are a must ⸻ 🌟Points ・A unique city whose name is connected to the city's symbol ・The experience of climbing to the roof of the cathedral is a special one that only Leon has in Central America ・The volcano and cityscape that can be seen from the cathedral are spectacular ・Compared to Granada, it has a more local feel, and there is plenty of interaction with travelers ⸻ #León #LeónCathedral #City of Lions #Nicaragua Trip #Beautiful Cities in Central America #Around the World
