About Guatemala City
Guatemala City is the largest city in Central America and the economic hub of the country. While it has a reputation for being less safe than other areas, the Zona 10, 14, and 15 neighborhoods offer a very different experience with upscale restaurants, modern malls, excellent hospitals, and reliable infrastructure.
