Top Things to Do in Antigua, Antigua, Guatemala (B)

Antigua is a city in the central highlands of Guatemala famous for its architectures and ruins of colonial churches. Once the capital of Guatemala, it is now a UNESCO World Heritage site.

I didn’t know this at the time of booking, but think it is good to know if hotels rooms are booked during peak times like Easter.

I got used to the no A/C that seemed to prevalent throughout Guatemala. The courtyard and lobby were simple, yet nice, though I didn’t spend much time there.

If I were to return to Antigua, I might consider staying at Santa Cantalina which was once a convent and is attached to the iconic Santa Cantalina Arch. On the north side of town, it is in a very good location. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
