If hiking is at all a enjoyable to you, I highly recommend doing a hike of one of the many volcanoes surrounding Antigua. We wanted to hike Volcán Pacaya because it is an easy day trip from the city and a ~4mi hike with around 2000ft of elevation. At the top, you have views of all of the surrounding volcanoes, can roast marshmallows from the heat of the volcanic rocks and enjoy a picnic lunch!

One of the best things about Antigua is how walkable it is! The city is very quaint, with cobblestone streets and tons of cute gardens you can pop into from the street. I highly recommend spending an afternoon exploring the city, enjoying an espresso from one of the cafés and doing some shopping

Lake Atitlán is about a 3hr drive from Antigua but was one of my favorite parts about the trip! We stayed ~3 days in Panajachel, the biggest town by the lake. Enjoy a few days of serenity, as the lake is quite quiet and offers stunning views!

Casa Santo Domingo is a beautiful property in Antigua. We did not stay here, though I highly recommend it! We were here two days during the trip, one for a wedding which was hosted at the hotel and another for a pool day. The hotel’s grounds are stunning, filled with historical buildings, natural beauty and, of course, a nice swimming pool

On your walking tour of Antigua, you should come across the iconic arch in Antigua. Lots of cute shops are around here selling items and wonderful restaurants as well! Definitely a must see place if you are visiting Antigua!
