We completely understand that for many guests, this may be their first time traveling internationally — and for some, even their first time leaving the country.

As locals, we want to personally reassure you that Antigua Guatemala is considered one of the safest and most welcoming destinations in the region, especially for families and visitors.

It’s a small, walkable city full of charm, friendly people, and a strong presence of tourism and hospitality — making it very accustomed to international travelers. Many families with children live here, and guests of all ages regularly enjoy exploring the cobblestone streets, cafes, and historic landmarks without concern.

As with any destination, we encourage the usual travel common sense (don’t leave valuables unattended, stick to well-lit areas at night, etc.), but rest assured: Antigua is a place where people feel comfortable strolling, dining, and enjoying activities at their own pace.
