Guatemala City
What to Do in Guatemala City (Zona 11 and Zona 14)
The underrated first (or last) stop
Most itineraries treat Guatemala City as a place to pass through on the way to Antigua or Lake Atitlán. That's a missed opportunity - the city has genuinely good museums, restaurants, and a modern side most guidebooks skip.
Museums worth the detour
The Popol Vuh Museum and the Ixchel Museum of Indigenous Textiles and Clothing (both near Universidad Francisco Marroquín) are two of the best small museums in Central America - Maya artifacts and textile history in a couple of hours.
Zona 10 and Zona 14: the modern side
Zona 10 and Zona 14 are Guatemala City's upscale districts - tree-lined streets, good restaurants, and shopping at Paseo Cayalá, a walkable outdoor plaza built to look like a small colonial town.
Zona 1: the historic center
The National Palace and Plaza de la Constitución in Zona 1 are worth a morning if you want a sense of the city's older, grittier core - a different energy entirely from Zona 10/14.
Where to stay
Our Zona 11 apartments in the Parque San Jorge building come with pool, gym, and co-working space - handy if you're basing yourself here for a few days of work or exploring before heading out to Antigua or Atitlán.
