Be picked up from your hotel in Guatemala City to Sacatepequez department where Antigua Guatemala City is located. Sit back and relax on the 1.5-hour trip.

Start your tour at Cerro de la Cruz, a hill offering a breathtaking view of the city surrounded by 3 stunning volcanoes. Continue to the Cathedral de Santiago, a Roman Catholic church in Antigua Guatemala.

Admire the church's ruins outside and head to the Plaza Central Park. Feel like you've gone back in time as you observe the majesty of the Water Volcano looming in the background of the city, the old cobbled streets, and the 400+ years of architecture.

Visit the Central Park of the Plaza de Antigua Guatemala, which is the center of the city, also surrounded by the most important buildings.

Visit the Iglesia de La Merced, a beautiful yellow church that is the best example of Baroque Guatemalan architecture. Continue to the Palace of the General Captains, a colonial building that houses the offices of the Guatemalan Institute of Tourism, Guild of Tourism of Antigua, National Civil Police, and the Departmental Government, among others.

Stop at ChocoMuseo La Antigua, where you can learn more about the history of chocolate and buy chocolates and many other cacao products.

Next, visit the Iglesia del Carmen, a church that dates back to 1683. Finally, visit Casa Santo Domingo, the biggest monastery in Antigua Guatemala.

Located on the grounds of the Santo Domingo Monastery, Casa Santo Domingo began life as the mainstay for one of the most important convents in the Americas. Its origins can be traced back to 1538, and during this time the monastery was a grand, two-towered, ten-belled building filled with riches and relics.

Unfortunately, the monastery was partially destroyed in the 1773 Santa Marta earthquake, and what still stands has become a monument preserving the baroque architecture and treasures of the period. Today part of the ruins have been turned into Antigua’s only five-star hotel, which opened in 1989.

Along with its reputation as one of the most unique and historic hotels in Guatemala, Hotel Casa Santo Domingo is known for having a deep respect and pride for its past.

Finally, stop at the Arco de Santa Catalina, a saffron-yellow arch that has become the symbol of Antigua and the central image on most postcards.
