Guatemala City is located in the central highlands of Guatemala and is the capital and largest city of Guatemala, the capital of the Guatemala Department, and also the largest city in Central America. The city serves as the political, economic, cultural, and transportation center of Guatemala, with a spring-like climate year-round where temperatures often range from 17 to 20 degrees Celsius, earning it the nickname “Land of Eternal Spring.”

Surrounded by lush green mountains, Guatemala City is nestled in a valley with many historical sites and scenic areas, making it a great place for tourism and sightseeing. It is home to eight universities, numerous museums, and galleries, creating a rich cultural atmosphere. The city’s streets are laid out like a checkerboard, with rows of small and delicate houses, many of which are Spanish-style buildings with inner courtyards. The city center is filled with modern skyscrapers. Guatemala City is divided into 22 zones, each with a clear grid of streets running vertically and horizontally. Each zone has its own attractions for tourists, including the Constitutional Plaza, Guatemala Metropolitan Cathedral, Guatemala Railway Museum, Mars Movement Park, Museum of Natural History, Mayan ruins, Museum of Modern Art, Children’s Museum, National Museum of History, La Aurora Zoo, and more.
