About Guatemala City

The green and red quetzal, which is pictured on the country's flag and lends its name to the local currency, is Guatemala's national bird and a resplendent reminder of how colorful the country truly is. The capital, Guatemala City, has held onto its history and culture while growing and modernizing to become a stable economic leader of Central America. Guatemala City is a diverse city divided into 22 zones, each with distinct specialties. Grab a cab and explore. La Zona Viva, the liveliest and hippest zone, contains name-brand hotels, extravagant and chain dining options, designer shopping and nightlife. Other great sites demanding a visit lie in zone one and include the main plaza, Plaza Mayor, and Palacio Nacional, which was started in 1928 and completed in 1943. If you're looking for traditional souvenirs, try the Central Market, a two-story underground venue which carries textiles, clothes, jewelry and pottery with designs that represent the typical patterns and colors of the native tribes. The bottom floor offers produce, meat and poultry. Guatemala City is also the country's hub for side- and day-trips into the countryside. A short plane ride will deliver you to Tikal, north of the city and located in the rainforest, where Mayan temples, wildlife and natural beauty await discovery. Within reasonable driving distance is the colorful and active Chichicastenango. Set between two volcanoes, the town is a visual delight boasting an active market and the Church of Santo Tomás, site of lively spiritual rituals. Also nearby is Antigua, a beautiful colonial town that offers boutique shops, touristy dining options and an enchanting atmosphere. Lastly is Lake Atitlan, one of the world's most beautiful bodies of water. The lakeside town of Panajachel offers modern conveniences in a delightful setting. After experiencing Guatemala's rich Mayan traditions, spiritual rituals and dramatic landscapes, it's easy to appreciate such a unique place.
