Traveler Reviews of Antigua
An Unforgettable Experience
100%You are able to experience colonial history in a very unique way. It is like being transported back 400 years ago.
One of the best places in Guatemala!
100%Perfect if you wan to stay longer than a couple of days. Perfect for learning spanish, nighlife, meet other travellers or locals. A lot of history and attractions. The surroundings are beautiful with 3 volcanos, and there´s one close by that you also can climb if you want to. You can do everthing from Antigua, there´s many agencies. Semana Santa is a highlight, but it´s also packed with people (and pickpocketers!). Nice place to relax, and a place you have to visit when you are in Guatemala, but it´s not really off the beaten path!
fun city
100%A really fun place, good nightlife and lots of ruins and things to do.
