Antigua Guatemala

Antigua is one of the most beautiful colonial towns in the Americas, enjoying a spellbinding location in a sweeping fertile valley, where three huge volcanoes dominate the skyline. Its narrow, cobbled streets and pastel hued low-rise buildings give the town a timeless character, enhanced by the maze of Spanish facades, patios and arcades that make it such a joy to simply wander and explore.

Antigua Guatemala

Founded in the sixteenth century and Guatemala’s capital until 1776, Antigua is a cosmopolitan destination with a rich colonial past. Its long cobblestone streets are lined with pretty, pastel-hued houses, luxe boutique hotels and an exceptional selection of smart shops, galleries, and restaurants —whether you prefer fine dining or street eats, there’s no going hungry in Antigua.

This charming UNESCO World Heritage city sits surrounded by small-scale coffee farms, indigenous villages, and three imposing volcanoes. At the heart of town is the parque central, a European-style plaza that attracts everyone from families to shoe-shiners to ice cream vendors; most congregate around the park’s main feature, a fountain with four artfully sculpted bare-chested mermaids. Antigua was home to dozens of colonial monuments, churches, and monasteries, but a massive earthquake in 1773 damaged or reduced most to rubble. In the centuries thereafter, efforts were made to rebuild and restore, and the city now comprises a gorgeously melancholy mix of relics and ruins.
