Welcome friends to Vida Antigua! We’re here to guide you through the enchanting streets of Antigua Guatemala, a UNESCO World Heritage site bursting with history, vibrant culture, and stunning architecture. 

On this site, you’ll find everything you might need to plan your dream vacation, including the best hotels, restaurants and cafes, and local tours, as well as hidden gems that make this colonial city unforgettable. And we have so many of them!

We also encourage you to deep dive into our sights and attractions page, where you will be able to read the history of many of Antigua´s Spanish colonial landmarks, ruins, convents, and churches. You will also find videos for many of these places on each page, or on our Youtube channel, so that you can really get a feel for which places you will want to see during your visit here. You will soon discover why so many of us came to Antigua Guatemala and decided to stay, succumbing to its stunning beauty and kind people. 

That is why this site is not just for the first time visitor; we also built this site with the locals and expats in mind. We wanted to build a site that is useful for everyone, which is why we included a language translator at the top of this page, and added other sections to the site, including medical, spa services, shopping, and more. We have also included sections for the towns surrounding Antigua and Lake Atitlán, and we´ll be expanding into all the other major Guatemalan destinations soon.

Whether you’re planning your first trip or you´re a full time resident of Antigua Guatemala, this website is made for you. And of course, if you need help with your travel plans or support, please don´t hesitate to contact us. Let’s create your perfect Antigua experience together! -Buena Onda
