Plaza de la Constitución

Plaza de la Constitución, the historic heart of Guatemala City, is a broad central square surrounded by some of the capital’s most important landmarks, including the National Palace of Culture and the Metropolitan Cathedral. It’s a good place to get a sense of the city’s civic and colonial heritage, with open space for strolling, people-watching, and occasional public events. Visitors interested in history, architecture, and everyday urban life will find it a worthwhile stop, especially when exploring the nearby streets of the old city center.
