=== North/South ===
Take a bus going to [[Tipitapa]] (6 Cordobas). There is the [[Pan-American Highway|Panamericana]] which leads south to [[Granada (Nicaragua)|Granada]] and north to [[Matagalpa]] and [[Esteli]]. In between Managua and [[Tipitapa]] is the National and the International Airport of Nicaragua so if you don't have to go into Managua it's recommendable to take the bus right in front of the airport going to [[Tipitapa]] and get a ride there.
=== Northwest to León ===
To go in the direction of [[León (Nicaragua)|León]], you can take a local bus to Ciudad Sandino. At Ciudad Sandino, the bus turns left off the Nueva Carretera, and that intersection is marked with rumble strips to slow down traffic, making it a decent spot to get a ride.
