Limassol's historical centre is located around its medieval Limassol Castle and the Old Port. Today the city spreads along the Mediterranean coast and has extended much farther than the castle and port, with its suburbs stretching along the coast to Amathus. Limassol is famous in Cyprus for its festivals, like the Carnival and Wine Festival. During the last years Limassol has experienced a construction boom fuelled by the tourist sector as well as from increasing foreign investments in the city. The Port of Limassol has become one of the most important tourism, trade, and service-providing centres in the area. Limassol is home to the Cyprus University of Technology. A number of museums and archaeological sites are available to visitors. Limassol attracts a wide range of tourists mostly during an extended summer season to be accommodated in a wide range of hotels and apartments.

Rialto Theater in Limassol has been the house of Cyprus Film Days for Children and Youth as a section of the main festival. Workshops and screenings take place in both Limassol and Nicosia.
In April 2021, the 7th edition of the kids festival will take place and the 19th of the main.
