Mercado de Artesanías
Many people consider the Artisan Market to be the main ‘tourist market’. Full of colourful textiles, traditional blankets, wooden masks, jade jewellery and woven purses, it’s an incredibly photogenic place to wander around. Because it’s a tourist market, you won’t find any animals here (dead or alive), and the stalls are arranged in an orderly manner, with clean, swept floors and a lovely entrance. Never buy anything at face value; vendors usually increase the price by three, so use that as a reference point when haggling.
Parque Central
Surrounded by superb colonial structures, this broad and beautiful plaza is the gathering place for antigüeños and visitors alike – a fine, verdant place to sit or stroll and observe the goings-on, from hawkers and shoeshiners to school kids and groups of tourists. The buxom mermaids in the central fountain are a reconstruction of the original 1738 version, which was trashed early in the 20th century
Arco de Santa Catalina
The Arco de Santa Catalina is Antigua's most iconic monument, and an early-morning or late-afternoon photo opportunity framing Volcán Agua through its arch is an essential part of any visit to the town. It was built in 1694 to enable nuns from the Santa Catalina convent to cross the street without being seen; the clock tower is a 19th-century add-on.
Convento Capuchinas
Inaugurated in 1736 by nuns from Madrid, the convent of Las Capuchinas was seriously damaged by the 1773 earthquake and thereafter abandoned. Thanks to meticulous renovations in recent decades, it's possible to get a sense of the life experienced by those cloistered nuns, who ran an orphanage and women's hospital.
Cerro de la Cruz
Well worth the ascent, Cerro de la Cruz provides fine views looking south over town toward Volcán Agua. The prominent cross at the head of the lookout point is devoted to the city's patron saint.
Bar Ulew
A little corner full of art in La Antigua Guatemala with unique cocktails created for every palate, a cozy atmosphere, good music and many friends.

Frida´s
Amazing carajillos and margaritas!
Paying homage to the great Mexican artist Frida Kahlo (1907-1954), an avant-garde, talented and empowered woman who, like us, loved freedom, debauchery, music and meeting friends around a well-served table.
A cozy bistro in the heart of Antigua
American Chef, Robbin Haas opened Bistrot Cinq’s doors on November 16, 2007. Now we’re fully run by a young, energetic, and eager group of Antigua natives. We’re 13 years old and as you’d expect from a teenager, we march to the beat of our own drum. We also cook and take care of our guests that way.
Every single thing we serve is made from scratch, just like Grandma used to do it. We only serve what she would approve of. We get up early, go to bed late, and work our tails off so we can offer you, fresh, seasonal ingredients that we buy from people we personally know and trust. (Except the salmon and escargot. They’re on a tourist visa.)
