Guatemala City
About 1 million people in the city, and around 3 million in the whole metro area.
Guatemala City is the capital and the biggest city in all of Central America. It is where the country's government, museums, and business towers all come together.
You can explore the National Palace of Culture, wander the giant Relief Map that shows the whole country in miniature, and ride the shiny green city buses. Kids love the Zoo La Aurora and the Children's Museum.
