What’s there to see in Antigua Guatemala? Well, the list goes on and on. For a start, its distinctive colonial buildings, courtyards, and churches in striking colors make a beautiful backdrop, especially with the Volcan de Agua looming in the distance. Another attraction worth visiting is the Santo Domingo Del Cerro sculpture park where you can marvel at the creations of some of the city’s leading contemporary artists. The city has plenty to offer your other senses too - enter its many markets to feast on fragrant, flavorful street food and try some of the local spirits and beers. Then end off your night at a backpacker’s bar and dance to awesome live music, or maybe you’ll find yourself still there when the sun rises! If you’re planning a trip to this part of the Caribbean, do keep this list of great Airbnb vacation rentals in Antigua Guatemala in mind.
