Located in the department of Guatemala, \u00a0 Guatemala City is the gateway into the country. \u00a0La Aurora\u00b4s International Airport is served by the major airlines of the region making it an easy destination to reach. Guatemala City enjoys everlasting springtime weather with an average temperature of 20 Celsius degrees all year around. \u00a0The City was established at the end of the XVIII century (circa 1776) keeping the urbanistic pattern of the Spanish cities in the new world: \u00a0a big square or Plaza Mayor (nowadays the Constitution Plaza), surrounded by the main religious and civil buildings: \u00a0\u201cThe National Palace of the Culture\u201d (circa 1943), \u201cThe Centennial Park \u201c(former city hall), the magnificent \u201cMetropolitan Cathedral\u201d (circa 1781) with priceless religious images of saints, virgins Mary and old religious paintings also. \u00a0 The other streets and avenues of the historical center are originated from the square\u00b4s corners following a chessboard pattern. \u00a0Around the block from the Metropolitan Cathedral a visit to the \u201cCentral Market\u201d gets you into the colorful handicrafts of Guatemala with a large variety from all over Guatemala.<\/p>

Close to the historical center you can visit \u201cThe High Relief Map of Guatemala\u201d which was made over 100 years ago and it is a sui generis cartography job. \u00a0 \u00a0A huge map of Guatemala covers close to 20000 sq ft showing the main ranges of mountains, valleys, volcanoes, rivers, cities, boundaries, etc., it is a very entertained way to learn geography.<\/p>

A few blocks south from the square the visitors see the \u201cCivic Center of Guatemala City\u201d where the modern architecture blends with the remains of the past at the \u201cNational Theater of Guatemala\u201d, \u00a0\u201cThe Bank of Guatemala\u201d, \u201c The Judicial Organism Palace\u201d, \u201cThe Social Security Headquarter\u201d and others, all decorated with murals and friezes made by well known Guatemalans artists.<\/p>

Guatemala City counts with the best museums of the country: \u00a0\u201cThe National Museum of Archeology\u201d features the largest Mayan Stelaes Collection in the world; The Mayan Textiles are well displayed and explained at the \u201cIxchel Museum\u201d, next door the \u201cPopol \u00a0Vuh Museum\u201d welcomes the visitors with a very fine collection of Mayan royal pottery. \u00a0Last to mention but not the least is the hotel s of Guatemala City all located at the Zona Viva where there is fine dining out, bars, shopping malls and places for drinks which stay open till late.<\/p>
