What is there to do in Antigua? What about the nightlife?
Antigua is a wonderful place to get away, as it is a rich, beautiful colonial town with a wonderful historical past. Weather is always temperate to warm, and Guatemala is known as the “Land of Eternal Spring”. Students come year-round because of this, and because of the local and travel opportunities for adventure. There are daily activities; so many students will go on these. In addition, there are many places to explore around town, ranging from markets, to museums and ancient ruins. Students also meet at cafes, go to watch either foreign films, or some films about Guatemalan culture. Many restaurants and pubs will have themed days, where there are parties of various sorts. We have many tourists of different age groups and the nightlife, while smaller than major cities, is vibrant with many restaurants, pubs, and cafes. Most cater to the international community, so there is no problem meeting new friends. Antigua is also a popular location during the many holidays that Guatemala has.
