A planned district built in a traditional style. Popular with locals and tourists.
Palacio Nacional de la Cultura
Symbol of the city and former presidential palace. Tours operate every 15 minutes. You can see the interior courtyards and official function rooms, decorative artwork, wall murals, and a small statue commemorating the end of the civil war: a pair of hands that hold a fresh rose.
At Minerva Park, at end of Av. Simon Cañas, Guatemala Zona 2. Entrance is Q16. This relief map depicting Guatemala's precipitous topography is so immense you have to view it from an observation tower. What makes it even more amazing is that it was built in 1904, before satellite or even aerial photography.
See local and exotic animals in a decent environment. Make sure to listen to the songbirds that gather in the trees above.
An early Maya ruin right in the heart of the city. The buildings are mostly mounds, however, the excavations have opened up a lot of areas that are interesting to tour.
A town square established in 1776.
Consecrated in 1815. Beautiful, outside and inside.
