Local knowledge for Antigua

Where to stay

Most budget beds sit within two blocks of Parque Central, concentrated along 6a Calle Poniente and 4a Avenida Norte. A few quieter options have opened up near 7a Avenida Sur, close enough to walk everywhere but far enough from the bar noise on 1a Calle Oriente.

Getting around

Chicken buses from Terminal de Buses on Alameda de Santa Lucía run to Guatemala City for a few quetzales. Tourist shuttles charge 5-10x that for the same 90-minute ride.
Front-facing rooms on 5a Avenida Norte and 1a Calle Oriente stay loud until 2am on weekends. Ask for a courtyard or back room if you need sleep before midnight.
Book 6-8 weeks ahead for Semana Santa (the week before Easter). Hostels at every price point fill completely, and same-week rates can triple over normal prices.

When to go

Prices drop noticeably in May, September, and October when the rain keeps crowds thin. December through March is dry season and draws the most visitors, with Semana Santa as the absolute peak.
