Things To Do

Arco de Santa Catalina

This is THE iconic arch in Antigua - get there early in the morning for best views of Volcán de Agua and lighter crowds!

Hotel and Spa Santo Domingo

A beautiful and historic former convent, turned into a stunning resort and spa. Absolutely worth visiting!

San José Cathedral Antigua

Check out this incredible church, and the Real Palace and Parque central on this same block!

Finca Colombia, La Antigua Guatemala

Starbucks

We went here on Paul's first trip to Antigua and were blown away by the beauty, delicious coffee, and amazing garden.

Simoon Tours

SO much fun - ATV tours and all sorts of activities. We took an ATV tour around Antigua and finishing by looking at Antigua from Cerra de la Cruz (a cross overlooking the city from the north side).

McDonald's

I know it's Mcd's, but don't knock it until you try it - in a historic building with fun unique Guatemalan appetizers.

Saberico Delicatessen

Incredible restaurant with amazing garden ambiance - especially for breakfast but also lunch or dinner.

San Martín Antigua Guatemala

Incredible pastries, breads, and food - and great coffee!

El Tenedor

I would highly recommend making a dinner reservation here - the views are absolutely stunning.

Masil Antigua

May seem like a weird recommendation (Korean food in Guatemala) but it was spectacular - family came from South Korea in 2019 and everything is homemade from family recipes.
