- Nicaragua ↗Check entry rules for your passport with a Nicaraguan embassy and your airline before booking; some visitors must register in advance, and entry can be refused without explanation.
- Nicaragua ↗Avoid political gatherings and do not photograph police, the military or protests; foreign nationals have been detained or expelled.
- Nicaragua ↗Do not bring drones or professional camera equipment without prior permission; they can be confiscated at customs.
- Granada and Masaya ↗Volcano and reserve access changes with volcanic activity and season: confirm opening hours with your operator before you go.
- Granada ↗Book the Managua airport transfer for the day and hour you land: the road to Granada is not a place to look for a ride after dark.
- Granada ↗Cobbled streets and high kerbs make suitcases slow: go car to door and keep big bags off the walking routes.
