Solo Travel Tips· Solo Friendly

Antigua is one of Central America's most solo-friendly cities — the Spanish school culture means a constant flow of solo learners from everywhere, the cobblestone colonial centre is completely walkable, and the language schools often arrange social evening activities. The Pacaya volcano hike is a classic group experience. Cerro de la Cruz for sunset is perfect solo. Very safe within the city; use caution on the road to Pacaya.

The best restaurant in Antigua â€” a beautiful courtyard space serving creative Guatemalan cuisine with local ingredients: black bean hummus, chirmol-glazed pork, and the most beautiful plating in the country. James Beard-worthy in a colonial setting.
