Some of the popular destinations include the Museo Popol Vuh, the Metropolitan Cathedral and Palacio Nacional. Shopping enthusiasts can peruse the goods at the Oakland Mall or at Mercado Central, the largely open-air market downtown.

You can generally use U.S. dollars to pay for taxis or shuttles to take you from La Aurora International Airport (GUA) into the city, but you'll need Guatemalan Quetzales everywhere else.
