Antigua is considered one of the safest cities in Guatemala and Central America and has become a top-rated destination for weddings! However, traveling through any part of Central America has risks. All guests should use caution, keep an eye on personal belongings, and walk in pairs at night. Just like in the U.S., there are less safe spots and very safe spots. Please use your judgment as you travel through Guatemala.

Antigua is a small city that is completely walkable. Enjoy exploring the cobblestone streets and colorful buildings by foot, Uber (yes, Ubers are everywhere), or hop in a Tuk-Tuk!
