Nestled in the Valle de la Ermita at 1,500 meters above sea level, this sprawling metropolis blends colonial charm, Maya heritage, and modern ambition. Founded in 1776 after Antigua was devastated by earthquakes, the city has evolved into Central America’s largest urban hub, with over 3 million residents in its metro area.
Visitors can explore the ancient ruins of Kaminaljuyú, stroll past neoclassical landmarks like the National Palace of Culture, and dive into the creative energy of Zone 4’s cafés and galleries. Each zone offers a distinct flavor—from the upscale boutiques of Cayalá to the historic core of Zone 1. Museums, markets, and murals tell stories of resilience, revolution, and renewal.
