Guatemala City and related destinations

Beneath the shadow of distant volcanoes, Guatemala City's historic centre reveals treasures like the ornate Teatro Nacional and the modernist Miguel Ángel Asturias Cultural Centre. La Aurora Zoo houses native species in surprisingly natural habitats. The Central Market buzzes with local life, where vendors sell everything from textiles to tamales. History buffs shouldn't miss Kaminaljuyu's pre-Columbian ruins or the grand Palacio Nacional de la Cultura with its impressive murals.
