Things to Do in Antigua Guatemala
If you travel to Guatemala, chances are that Antigua Guatemala is on your list of places to visit. There is a good reason why it is one of the top touristic destinations in the county. So let’s start planning all of the Things to Do in Antigua Guatemala.
This is, in my opinion, the last true Colonial City in Central America. It was founded in 1592 and has had to be rebuilt several times due to earthquakes. Antigua was the capital for the whole Central American territory during colonial times.
Locals make hard work at preserving its original beauty. This work paid off when it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
It might be a tiny city but it packs a ton of hotels, attractions, restaurants and things to do.
