Welcome to Guatemala City, aka "Gaute", aka, "El Ciudad", aka the largest city in Central America. It's a beautiful, if slightly chaotic, city. The perfect introduction to Guatemala.
Thanks to Francisco from Fearless Journeys for bringing me to Guatemala. He has another trip to Guatemala planned in 2022, to find out more check out:

I am currently in Guatemala City, does anyone have tips for more things to do or see?
Drop a comment on msg on Insta 🇬🇹🙌 - instagram.com/thenewtravel/
Go to tikal peten
Visit Miraflores mall
Check out Green Rush. It's a nature park up the mountain on the road to El Salvedor (Carr. El Salvedor). It has an epic view of lake Amititlan and the volcanoes and you will get some of the most best sunset views from there overlooking Guatemala City. Outside of the capital, check out the southern pacific beaches, Antigua, Lake Atitlan, Xela in the highlands, Semuc Champey in the central part of the country, and Tikal in the north. Whatever you can fit in to your trip will be amazing, enjoy!
💚 ALL IN GUATEMALA CITY:
- PASEO CAYALA
- NATIONAL THEATER
- MAP IN RELIEF
- LOCOMOTIVE MUSEUM
- GUATEMALA CITY ZOO
- PLAZA ESPAÑA
- SPINNING RESTAURANT
- 4° GRADOS NORTE
GUATEMALA IS NOT AS DANGEROUS AS PEOPLE THINK...TRULY NOT AS DANGEROUS AS OAKLAND CALIFORNIA.
BESIDES THERE ARE MORE FOREIGNERS BEING KILLED IN COSTA RICA LIKE THE AMERICAN STEVE SANDUSKY ABOUT A MONTH AGO!
paseo cayala zone 16 gt city
Que bonita es la ciudad de Guatemala, los Chiapanecos queremos mucho ese país hermano de Centroamérica con quién compartimos una cultura e historia...CH ♥️GT
Nosotros amamos Tapachula, Tuxla, etc
Saludos desde la ciudad capital de Guatemala.
Saludos cordiales desde la ciudad capital de Guatemala
Gracias por tus comentarios! Guate es la mera verga a ver cuándo nos visitas de nuevo
Si los weyes se cruzan como si nada la frontera
La Ciudad de Guatemala es un museo al aire libre, que pocos extranjeros han sabido apreciar. Siempre que llegan al país se trasladan directamente a Antigua Guatemala y se pierden de un gran tesoro histórico y cultural.
No es que no sepan apreciar lo hermoso de la capital, sino lo peligroso que son nuestras calles. las mismas embajadas no les recomiendan andar en ciertas zonas pero los ladrones se las ingenian para robar en moto. Por eso solo van en los lugares turísticos o zonas donde están sus hoteles pero de ahí ya no más
Por lo peligroso
@@danieltrx7322 no toda la capital es peligroso yo vivo en zona 10 por el obelisco, nada de nada paso a acá 💁🏽♂️
@@AlexLopez-yj8cw dile eso a las embajadas extranjeras, ellas son las ponen los límites
@@danieltrx7322 la capital en realidad no es tan peligrosa como muchos lo dicen, con sólo 17 años conozco casi toda la ciudad, e andando en moto, a pie y en auto, muy pocas veces en bus y nunca me e topado con una situación de riesgo y si esque tampoco zona 18 y las zonas de las orillas de la ciudad son turísticas pues, no hay nada que ver en en esos lugares así que no hay porque visitarlos.
Saludos desde Costa Rica a todos los Guatemaltecos! estuve en su país hace algunos años en Cd Guatemala, Xela, Panajachel, Antigua, Flores y Tikal - INCREÍBLE PAÍS! amo amo amo

Muy bonito Guatemala ,
No conozco pero se ve lindo país .
Un saludo amigos chapines de este Mexicano en California ,
Saludos hermano soy chapin y vivo en nevada pero tmbn conozco tu hermoso país México. Bendiciones mi hermano!
I'm not a fan of big cities, can't wait to see Antigua again. I went to Guatemala in 1998 it was my first time outside of Quebec. Only great memories ♥
Most beautiful city, with the best food out of all Central America!
Take care in my country, always look around and never trust anyone ( big advice mon amie )
Antigua isn’t a big city tho…
Gracias Amigo por visitar y dar a conocer mi país , siempre serás bienvenido y que bueno que te guste Guatemala 🇬🇹🇨🇦
Tu país es demasiado hermoso también
Guatemala is best known for its volcanic landscape, fascinating Mayan culture and the colorful colonial city of Antigua, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. But this small Central American country has a wealth of homegrown produce and talent.
La actitud de las personas es muy similar a la de México, los guatemaltecos son muy agradables.
Disfruta tu viaje.
Fui a Guatemala y me cobraron $20 dólares americanos por arroz y frijoles 🙃 súper mal imprecisión de ellos
@@klf2921 depende del lugar al que vayas :) algunos lugares como restaurantes son demasiado caros en la capital del país, tenés que ir al interior del país para disfrutar de lo bueno ☺️
@@klf2921 , Ah pues te estafaron porque un plato de arroz con frijoles cualquier Guatemalteco te lo regala.
@@stefanys2674 , No presisamente solo en el interior , también en la capital se come rico y barato, ella solo tuvo una mala experiencia pero eso no significa que en Guatemala no se coma rico y barato..
@@abelvillegas4555 tenés razón, puede pasar en cualquier departamento 🤷🏻♀️
LA GENTE IN GUATEMALA È STUPENDA È GENTILE,SONO UN AMORE Y CHAPINES GLI AMOOOOOÒOOO!
Pero después de 15 años aburre osea mi edad
Un abrazo fuerte Marco Affani. Gracias por tus palabras.

Grazie mille! Sei troppo bello per lo che hai detto di noi, anche la genti italiani sono molto speciali e sempre sono benvenuti a Guatemala. Saluti a tutti nostri amici italiani
Amazing and beautiful images of Guatemala City that we normally know very little about. Greetings from Brazil.
Obrigado! It's great when a place surprises us, isn't it?
Guao Guatemala City es un paraiso de jarrdines y muy berrde beautiful excelent
Aquí nací y aún no la conozco completamente!
Parecen al menos 3 o 4 ciudades en una...
Orgulloso de mí país.
Amazing video! From a Guatemalan living in Canada To a Canadian visiting Guatemala 🇨🇦❤️🇬🇹
Guatemala is beautiful 🥰
Welcome to the city!! I did a 1/2 hour episode last month on things to do directly in Guatemala City. (S1Ep2). Walk along the pedestrian paths on Avenida Reformer, grab a coffee at Plaza Fontabella and check out the new outdoor artwork in Zone 4/Quatro. Love the Chapines. Friendly, outgoing and genuinely happy to see tourists returning!
hey man welcome to Guatemala!!! Im leaving tomorrow but will be following your videos, hope you show more of Guatemala City, its really nice place, we are proud of how clean it is and contrary to the "news" its quite safe. . . Chiken bus is actually not a guatemalan name, we call them "parrilleras", but its common for tourist call them chicken bus. Anyway, if you are still here in a couple weeks I would like to show you more of our beautifull city, hit me up.
Guatemala es un país muy moderno , caro si es pero un clima fabuloso!!! Y la gente es muy amistosa y humilde.
As a Guatemalan I do feel like latin Americans are a huge family, we speak the same language and we share a lot of culture characteristics. Nevertheless, we still haven't managed to unite as the Europeans did to make things better for us. Thanks for the video
Good to see you back travelling Dan, we’ve all missed this 💯📈👍🏻👏🏻
Appreciate you SC
I’m visiting Guatemala 🇬🇹 and Im so excited 😆
I'm so glad you made this video. I go to Guatemala every year, and I always tell people to visit Guatemala City. There are so many things to visit or to experience. Restaurants, Museums, Shopping Centers, Parks, City views, Landscapes, all in a very enjoyable weather.. 😃
Hey friend, thanks for showing my city, as few do. Guatemala City offers you from an archaeological site of more than 3,000 years to the modernity of any city in the world thanks friend, a hug.
Yeah, Guatemala city has some great zones and views, many cultural areas, some historic and architectural. Cosmo and natural at the same time, Maya and Euro. Its like a smaller but cleaner and laid back San Francisco. The Pacific ocean is about one hour away though. Great video! 👍 ✌
YT is an international business. There's a documentary about the chicken bus called La Camioneta. Some zones in the city look very modern. And they have fancy Chinese restaurants there. Nice walk!
Woah... I never thought of CZcams that way. But I suppose you are right 🙂
Just like in every state in The us , their is always parts that are safe and dangerous.
Beautiful green space. Dude with the drone is talented!!
Talented or crazy or possibly both 😂
Great video from Guatemala City..! Nice weather not cold not hot..very spring like Zone 10 is really nice. I have walked it too. But people in that part of Guatemala City dont walk on the street due to the mentioned safety factors. So its like that all the time. It was like that on my 1st trip to Guatemala City in 1998, second in 2008 and my last on 2012. Very clean but no pedestrians walking on the street. Guatemala has a large population of German descendants that arrived a long time ago. So its common to see the Berlin Plaza, German School and Austrian Schools. The German colony has made an impact in Guatemala. Wow what a great journey, in an unknown city to many travelers. My favorite restaurant in Zone 10 is La Media Cancha is an Argentine Steakhouse ran by a former Argentine football or soccer player that has lived in Guatemala for over 30 plus years and has a great restaurant, cant beat the Pollo Campero and the local Guatemalan food.
GUATEMALA È BELLISSIMA

Great video Dan. I look forward to seeing more! Don’t really know much about Guatemala but would love to visit
czcams.com/video/XoXAqC4Qu10/video.html
Thank you, beautiful video. Guatemala is a land of friendly people an amazing colors. Enjoy your trip.
Thank you sm for coming! I really hope you enjoy the whole country and you should get to the view of Hotel Las Americas, it's a nice view 😍
Thanks for sharing such great thoughts and info about Guatemala 🇬🇹 definitely worthy to visit. And the weather is super duper. Good food good people.!!!
Im from México but Guatemala people Is the Best in the world.
czcams.com/video/XoXAqC4Qu10/video.html
So good to see you on the road again Dan!
Such a beautiful country and rich culture, with interesting and important history. Amazing video.
Thanks for sharing!
I’m so glad you really liked GuatemalaCity, I haven’t been there for about 10years I really missed to much. But seeing your video makes me so happy and nostalgic. It’s a great video, thanks a lot for doing this. You gained another subscriber. This vid is amazing 🤩
Things are so much better than 10 years ago, you should come visit us again!!
Welcome to Guatemala! Great video!
I’m so glad you came to Guatemala! You can also say: “GuateÁmala,” which means “Love Guatemala”
Awesome video of Guatemala City!! I'm a sub from New York and the city looks amazing and interesting, your camera has an amazing resolution, the images look so beautiful and so vivid.. thanks for the upload
Definitely nice blessings for visiting our lovely country 🇬🇹👏
Great blog bro! Keep going whit the videos, greetings from guatemala city
Glad to see you back keep those videos coming 👌💋
Hi. You made me miss my country so much!!! Funny fact, when I lived in Guatemala I took driving lessons in the residential area around plaza Berlin. I practiced how to parallel park on a really steep road that is there. Good times!
Been to Guate in year 2000.I recall my old days overthere. Thanks for great video.
Lovely views of Guatemala City.
Even me that actually live in Guatemala city, where i have been living since i was 10 years old, have never walked arround all "Las Americas" path that you have walked in this video, beautiful
Thanks for share with us !! Nice video & wonderful city👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I have missed the gentle vibe of your videos! I served an LDS mission in Central America in the mid 1970s but did not have the pleasure of visiting Guatemala. I've visited Costa Rica since then as well as Nicaragua so that part of the world still holds my interest. Again, welcome back!
Zona 10 is the 'zona viva,' supposedly with some good nightlife (specifically higher-end restaurants and bars).
That christmas tree draws a huge crowd the first night they light it! There are fireworks and everything.
One thing that's super fun around Avenida Reforma/Las Americas is they close off the streets on Sundays (I think) for 4 hours and exclusively use the area for bike riding, walking, running, and rollerblading!
Overall, you're right as you noticed - veerrryyy few tourists stay in Guatemala City and even think the city should be avoided. It's been cleaned up a lot over the last few years! (Just keep away from zone 1 as a tourist. That's where the extortion usually starts)
I've been living in Guatemala for 5 years, in the City for 3, and I forget to enjoy a lot of these places. Thanks for the video!
What a nice video, boy, thank you for your comment and for visiting us and do not do the first or the last, we wait for you when you say I am going and here I am in Guatemala, feel super man
Thank you for your video and visiting my country hope you enjoy your trip take care
I was in Guatemala back in 2010. Loved it! Especially Pacaya volcano and Tikal! Those chicken buses! I had to run after one and jump on the back with my backpack to cross into Belize! Enjoy your time man!

Congratulations for your national holiday on 15th September Guatemala from your friends in Germany Guatemala is a beautiful country with nice landscape, charming people and such a nice culture. I´m really proud to call you our friends. Best wishes for the future from your friends in Germany

welcome to Guatemala
Amazing plaza Berlín.
Welcome to Guatemala city.
Great video; thanks for sharing my beautiful country
My pleasure
I am from Xela Guatemala but i live in Kentucky i glad to see u in Guatemala city
czcams.com/video/XoXAqC4Qu10/video.html
Haha, this is awesome. I was living in Verdun earlier this year when you did a video there and now I am in Mexico, headed to Guatemala where you just did this video. Total coincidence. Small world - loved the video by the way, took away any concerns I had over staying in Guatemala City for a few days. Oh and that ALWAYS happens to me when I arrive in a new country - totally get discombobulated even though I have been to 66 countries. It's a curse - glad I am not the only one. Finally, good point about camera security. I was in the Lyon France metro last month and someone stole my top of the line iPhone right out of my hand as the train doors closed. Wake up call for my Latin America adventure - I let my guard down after three uneventful months in Europe - and that shitty thing happened. A Good Samaritan helped me make a police report and I could delete all the data as it was an iPhone - but that was a costly mistake on my part. You're not in Canada anymore Toto!
You pull a top of the range iphone out in Guate city say goodbye to it... and maybe your arm as well.
@@wolfthequarrelsome504 Depends where, just like anywhere else. I have travelled in Central and South America several times, never had a problem.
It depends on the place, most of the areas of Guatemala City are safe and clean. There are others like zone 18 that is not safe but neither is it that you want to go.
This Guatemala videos are good for me! I’ll be there in a few days time
Enjoy :)
El Pollo Campero has franchises in Los Angeles, where there are more Guatemalans than in Guatemala City.
Not only on Los Angeles but the whole USA and even China
Nice vlogging and nice City Guatemala👍👍
GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN
IH! Awesome video! Guatemala city is a great place to visit, from the modern to the historic center. Now once you feature Pollo Campero... Well, just got me thinking that I'm due for a trip to the Land of the Eternal Spring! 😃
Thank you for sharing! How long are you staying? Please show us some of Guatemalan Christmas traditions if you get a chance?
Beautiful...
Amazing Guatemala!
Nice place man. I want to see the variety of foods they have!
Mexico and Central America used to be Me so American thousands of years and later part of New Spain so foods and cultures even music are similar but veggies fruits and meats get better the southernmost you go. Closes thing to Guatemalan food is Yucatec and Quintana Roo food imo. ✌
Uno de. Mis youtubers preferidos en mi país que cool
Que bonito es ver mi bella Guate, presentada por un extranjero. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️🇬🇹
Nice video !! Welcome to Guatemala. Make yourself at home
Thank you! Will do!
Thank you for visiting Guatemala 🇬🇹
Looking forward to more videos from Guatemala, as it's definitely on the "travel soon" list! Thanks for the video, Dan. ;-)
Hello brother, thank you for visiting my country Guatemala. I hope you enjoy many beautiful places in Guatemala.
Guatemala city give me Mexico city vibes and I don't know why.
It's a really nice city ❤
Greetings from Panama 🇵🇦👋🇬🇹

Amazing 🤩
My mom is originally from Guatemala. I’ve spent plenty of time there and actually lived in the country for almost a year when I was 7 yrs old. There are definitely a lot of cool places to visit. I recommend checking out Rio Dulce and making your way to Livingston which has many afro latinos and a very different cuisine. The island town of Flores in the region of Peten is also a nice place. From there you can easily get transportation to the Mayan ruins of Tikal. Flores was probably the safest town ive been to in the country. I remember seeing tourists walking around with no issue around 10 at night. But yeah, definitely take precautions, even more so than Mexico City. And know which zones to avoid. Hope you enjoy your time there. Fun fact about Pollo Campero, it has become a favorite throughout various Central American countries and has expanded into other countries including the US, but it’s originally from Guatemala. Unfortunately, it’s losing popularity in the country due to the expensive prices. People are starting to shift to cheaper copy cat options.

Beatiful, great GUATEMALA CITY
HEART OF CENTRAL AMERICA
What a beautiful and clean city 👌🏽
When you go to Antigua check out a restaurant called "El Tenedor del Cerro," it is an amazing experience with beautiful views of the city's landscape!

czcams.com/video/XoXAqC4Qu10/video.html
Good job about telling people about Guatemala and all the magic some are missing, you making a big impact no other you-tubers want to show or spend time and effort on showing the city, good for everyone, just remember bad tv news is not the ultimate source of info, we are, are own source of news by experience are own journeys.
Just subscribed my friend welcome to Guatemala
Welcome to Guatemalan 😀🇬🇹 enjoy your stay ! Enjoy the city 💙 we have so many safe zones so you can enjoy with no issues we also have so many many many places to visit all in one little country 😀
Love the video
Every country has its capital city so beautiful. Please go to the inner towns and villages to see the real lives in such places, that would tell you the real beauty or desperation of the people. Greetings from Ghana.
Yeah Canada EH!🇨🇦❤🇬🇹is in my heart.❤
The chicken buses go to rural places from the city to small pueblos. However, in the city they had a nice urban line of busses called Trans Metro, they are clean and comfortable,
You are always amazing
