Security

Like any other large city in Central and South America, Guatemala City being the largest capital in Central America crime is evident at times. Always keep in mind that not the entire city represents the same level of risk. Therefore it is very important to be careful not to expose yourself to dangerous and dark places.If you are not staying in a hotel in the center, it is better not to take it at night because public transport after 7 is scarce and you have to resort to cab. much of the downtown architecture is colonial and has low-wattage lighting fixtures.
