Duration: 10 mins

2. The Plaza Central Park

In Antigua Guatemala, you will feel that you go back in time. Observe the mesmerizing Water Volcano looming in the background of the city, the old cobblestone streets, and the more than 500 years of architecture. We begin our walking tour from the Central Park of Antigua Guatemala, which is the center of the city, also surrounded by the most important buildings.

Duration: 10 mins

3. Santiago Cathedral

Is a Roman Catholic church in Antigua Guatemala. The original church was built around 1541, but suffered several earthquakes throughout its history, and the first church building was demolished in 1669. The cathedral was rebuilt and consecrated in 1680. By 1743 the cathedral was one of the largest in Central America. However, the devastating 1773 Guatemala earthquake seriously damaged much of the building, though the two towers at the front remained largely intact. These have undergone restoration work, and the cathedral has been partly rebuilt. Entrance to the ruins is not included.

Duration: 5 mins

4. Real Palacio

The Palace of the General Captains, or Royal Palace, is a colonial building located in the city of Antigua Guatemala. It houses the offices of the Guatemalan Institute of Tourism, the Guild of Tourism of Antigua, the National Civil Police offices, and the Departmental Government, among others.

6. Arco de Santa Catalina

The Santa Catalina Arch is one of Antigua Guatemala’s most iconic landmarks, proudly standing above the cobblestone streets with the majestic Volcán de Agua as its backdrop. Painted in vibrant saffron yellow, this stunning arch was originally built in the 17th century as a passageway for cloistered nuns. Today, it’s a beloved symbol of the city and a must-see spot for photos, often featured on postcards worldwide. Let its charm transport you back in time as you explore Antigua’s rich history!

Duration: 15 mins

7. Iglesia de La Merced

La Merced Church is a masterpiece of baroque architecture and one of Antigua Guatemala’s most stunning landmarks. Built in the 18th century, its intricate yellow-and-white façade is adorned with detailed carvings and ornate stucco work, showcasing the grandeur of colonial design.

Duration: 10 mins

8. Iglesia del Carmen

The history of El Carmen Church dates back to 1683 when the city council granted authorization for the construction of a temple under the invocation of Our Lady of Carmen. This church suffered heavy damage after the earthquakes of 1717, 1728 and 1773. Finally the building was ruined, so it had to be abandoned.

Duration: 10 mins

9. Casa Santo Domingo

Casa Santo Domingo is a fascinating blend of history, culture, and luxury, set within the ruins of what was once Antigua Guatemala’s largest monastery. Founded in 1538 by the Dominicans, the original monastery was a magnificent structure with two towers, ten bells, and a wealth of treasures. Partially destroyed in the 1773 Santa Marta earthquake, its remaining baroque architecture, brick archways, and corridors tell the story of its grand past. Today, the site houses a five-star hotel known for its respect for history, with beautifully restored convent spaces, manicured gardens, and multiple museums displaying preserved statues, crypts, and artistic masterpieces. A visit here offers a unique glimpse into Antigua’s colonial heritage and architectural splendor. We will visit the monastery but not the museum.*

Duration: 30 mins

10. Antigua

At the end of the tour, we will take you back to your hotel. This tour will be guided by a professional in history so you will feel back in time to the colonial era of this wonderful city.
