During the British domination (1878 - 1960) the city started to spread beyond the walls. The British first built administrative premises outside the walls but since then residential regions developed beyond the fortifications and joined with the surrounding villages, resulting in a change of the city's housing network.

The walk aims to present that development that begins in the end of the 19th century and continues until today. A special emphasis is also given on the prehistoric era of Nicosia and the development of the first Bronze Age settlements along the Pediaios River, as well as on the excavations that brought to the light the constant and uninterrupted growth of the city from ancient times until today. The bus rides outside the walls and through the east portal, the Pafos Gate, the visitors then walking along the Pediaios River, riding the bus through the governmental buildings and the excavations on St. George's hill, and leading to the Presidential Palace and the English School. After a brief walk in the Agioi Omologites neighbourhood, the bus returns to the centre of the town.
