Yes, Nicaragua is generally safe and peaceful, especially in the areas where wedding guests will stay. Use normal travel precautions as you would anywhere (avoid carrying large amounts of cash, keep valuables secure, and use registered taxis).
The local currency is the Nicaraguan Córdoba (NIO). However, U.S. dollars are widely accepted almost everywhere. Euros can be exchanged at banks.
We recommend using a reliable taxi service (we'll share trusted local contacts). The drive from the airport to the main hotel areas in Managua takes 20-30 minutes.
Our recommended hotel for guests is Hyatt Place Managua, conveniently located near restaurants, shopping, and only a short drive from the wedding venue.
March is part of Nicaragua's dry season, so you can expect sunny skies and warm temperatures. Pack light clothing, sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat.
Nicaragua uses Type A/B plugs (the same as in the U.S.) with 110v electricity. Guests traveling from Europe will need a plug adapter and voltage converter.
We recommend drinking bottled or filtered water during your stay.
