Car Rental in Center

Rent a car in Granada city center and explore Nicaragua's oldest colonial city on the western shore of Lake Nicaragua with two rental companies available. Granada was founded in 1524 and its colorful baroque architecture, Calle La Calzada, and Parque Central are easy to reach on foot – but with a car, the entire region opens up. Ometepe Island is reached in 35 km to San Jorge port and then by ferry.

Granada is 45 km south of Managua via NIC-4, about 45 minutes' drive. Masaya volcano park with its active crater is just 20 km north, one of Nicaragua's most visited natural attractions. Laguna de Apoyo, a volcanic crater lake perfect for swimming, is reached in 15 km east of Granada.

Drive to Masaya volcano at sunset to see the lava glow in the crater bottom – 20 km north via NIC-4. Explore Las Isletas, 365 islands in Lake Nicaragua, by boat from Puerto Asese 3 km south of the center. Park at Parque Central and walk along Calle La Calzada to the waterfront promenade.

How far is it from Granada to Managua airport? About 55 km north via NIC-4 and Carretera Masaya, approximately 1 hour under normal traffic conditions. Can I take the rental car to Ometepe Island?
