- Gray Line Guatemala - You will be picked up from your hotel (selected hotels) in Guatemala City by our tour guide to begin our city sightseeing tour. Below is a brief overview of what to expect along the way.
- Avenida Las Americas - We will start with an avenue named for its numerous plazas and monuments honoring the countries of the American continent, all surrounded by gardens.
- Plaza Berlin - Continue to Berlin Plaza for a panoramic view of part of the city and the landscape of the Pacaya volcano.
- Avenida La Reforma - We proceed along La Reforma Avenue, which was inspired by the avenues of France. For this reason, various statues are carved in stone, bronze, and marble brought from Italy.
- Iglesia Yurrita - Yurrita Church is a private chapel of mixed Baroque style, with Romanesque and Byzantine elements. It was built as a votive offering by Felipe Yurrita, a native of Arevalo, Castilla, Spain, to the Virgin of Our Lady of Sorrows, patron of that town, for favors received, particularly for saving his life during the eruption of the Santa Maria volcano.
- Centro Civico - At the Civic Center of the City, we will see a collection of buildings constructed between the 1950s and 1960s, such as The Supreme Court of Justice, the Ministry of Public Finance, City Hall, the Social Security, the Bank of Guatemala, the National Mortgage Bank, and the Guatemalan Tourism Commission, which are significant for the history and government.
- Paseo de la Sexta - The Paseo de la Sexta Avenida emerged due to the relocation of the city after the Santa Marta earthquakes in 1773. Sixth Avenue was one of the most important streets in the city, home to the best fashion stores, the most prestigious businesses, and the first movie theaters.
- Teatro Lux - The Lux Theater was one of the most important and emblematic stages in Guatemala between 1935 and 1960. It was converted into a cinema in the 1980s due to a decline in interest in theater. More recently, it was transformed into the new headquarters of the Cultural Center of Spain after an architectural remodel.
- Hotel Pan American - The site of Hotel Pan American was originally called the Pension Amado, built in 1914 and demolished by earthquakes in 1917 and 1918. It was renamed Hotel Pan American to honor the Pan Am Airlines crews who often stayed there. By the early 1980s, Hotel Pan American was the downtown meeting place where presidents had lunch and diplomats, government officials, and foreign visitors gathered to discuss matters of national interest.
- Trade Portal - The Rubio Passage, also known as “El Portalito,” is one of the best-known places in Zone 1. Part of its structure is inspired by the commercial passages of 17th-century Italy.
- Plaza de la Constitucion - When we arrive at the Major Plaza of the Constitution, we will appreciate important monuments such as the National Palace, the Metropolitan Cathedral, the Portal of Commerce, and Centenarian Park. It is also known as the heart of the Historic Center of the city.
- Mercado Central - Finally, we will visit the Central Market, located behind the Metropolitan Cathedral in the basement of the Tabernacle Plaza. It is divided into different sectors of products, where you will find everything from spices to beautiful jade souvenirs made in Guatemala, and other handicrafts.
- Iglesia Santo Domingo - The ancient church of Santo Domingo in Guatemala City, Basilica of Nuestra Señora del Rosario, is a Catholic temple in a neoclassical seismic style located in the Historic Center of Guatemala City. The main devotion in the Basilica of Nuestra Señora del Rosario is to the Virgen del Rosario, queen of Guatemala City against earthquakes.
