Take the children to the Municipal Gardens, where the Dinosaur Park and Limassol Zoo Garden are located for a fun-filled day. Or take a trip to Fasouri Water Mania, an amusement park which often proves irresistible on hot days in the city.While fun in the sun is the object of many visitors, Limassol itself and the surrounding region are far from devoid of sightseeing opportunities. The Cyprus Medieval Museum, situated in the imposing Limassol Castle where Richard the Lionheart famously got married, will delight lovers of military history with its collection of weaponry.Another treat for fans of medieval history is the perfectly preserved Kolossi Castle, near the city on the road to Paphos, which dates back to the 14th century.
