Something to think about

Be prepared for the city’s cobblestone streets, which can be challenging for those with mobility issues, so comfortable walking shoes are essential. While Antigua is generally safe, it’s wise to stay alert and avoid isolated areas after dark. Don’t forget to exchange some currency beforehand, as smaller shops may not accept cards. Finally, immerse yourself in the local culture by learning a few Spanish phrases; it can enhance your interactions and enrich your experience.
