Exploring the Heart of Managua at Plaza de la Revolución

Getting There

• Walking

  If you are starting from the central area of Masaya, head southwest on the main road towards the central park. As you walk, keep an eye out for local shops and restaurants where you can grab refreshments. Continue walking until you reach the main intersection at the Mercado Municipal. From there, take a left and walk for about 10 minutes. You should pass by local markets and street vendors. Keep an eye on your surroundings as you approach the outskirts of the city, where the roads become less busy. After approximately 15-20 minutes of walking, you will see the Plaza de la Revolución ahead. The plaza is a large open space with notable monuments, and it’s a great spot for photos.

• Public Transport (Bus)

  From the Masaya central park, locate the nearest bus stop which usually has signs indicating the routes. Take a bus heading towards Managua and inform the driver you want to get off at Plaza de la Revolución. The ride will take approximately 30 minutes, depending on traffic. Once you arrive at Plaza de la Revolución, you will see several landmarks and can explore the park area.

• Bicycle

  If you have access to a bicycle, you can ride from central Masaya to Plaza de la Revolución. Start by heading southwest through the main streets, ensuring you follow the bike lanes where available. The ride should take about 20-25 minutes. Be cautious of the traffic, especially as you exit the busier areas of Masaya. Once you reach the Plaza de la Revolución, you can lock your bike at nearby bike racks and enjoy the sights.
