Really lovely city with colonial architecture. There are apparently lots of Spanish language schools here, would love to come back and spend some time at one of them some day! It’s also a great place to buy lavender jade.

Antigua bonita! by Riekske

Absolutely lovely place, the charming cobblestone streets, the colonial houses, the relaxing parques and the great international buzz!

Yet still it keeps its authentic Guatemalan character.

If you´re thinking about learning Spanish, go there! And it´s excellent value for money as well!!

Wow . . . I come from farm country. Flat land, everywhere. You see for miles where I’m from. Here, you can see land for miles only your looking up instead of across.

charming! by natala007

antigua was lovely. there’s this wonderful cobblestone (terrible for heels) everywhere and its this mix of ruins and old-world style that’s just charming. We stayed at Panze Verde — highly recommend it.

Antigua is a nice little town only about an hour from Guatemala City and the airport. It seems to be a hven for expats and college students wanting to travel and spend some time learning Spanish. Many others simply pass through. The accomodations are nice and cheap, too. There is also plenty to do – you can trek on a volcano, take kayaking or mountain bike tours, it is also a great place to set your “home base” while seeing other places in the country. Most places will arrange an airport shuttle for you for just a few bucks if you ask.
