Airport - Nicosia International Airport has been closed off since the partition of the country. Larnaca Airport (40km, 30min drive) has scheduled flights to all major European cities. Further afield, the smaller Paphos Airport is a 140km (1h40m) drive from Nicosia.
Shopping - The traditional shopping district runs along Ledra street and its tributary roads within the medieval walls of the city. A bustle of traditional jewelers, shoe and fabric shops give a blend of Middle Eastern and European feel. Laiki Geitonia is a pedestrianised neighbourhood that has been preserved in its original architecture and is the best quarter if you are after souvenir shops. Big chains (e.g. Marks and Spencer, Zara etc) line the more modern Makarios Avenue. Stasikratous street has evolved into a mini local version of 5th Avenue/Bond street with expensive brands such as Armani and Versace stores. All the above are within walking distance of each other.
