Guatemala City

The capital that almost everyone passes through and few explore: a monumental historic center, the best Mayan museums in the country, and a modern scene of neighborhoods, cafes, and murals.

Useful traveler info

Get around by Uber (cheap and convenient); the Transmetro serves the center. Focus on the historic center (zone 1) during the day and the museums and zones 4/10/16 at other times. Like any capital: normal caution with phone and wallet, and avoid walking in lonely areas at night. La Aurora Airport is 15-25 minutes from almost everywhere.
