Plaza de la Constitución (Parque Central) Tours and Activities
62 Reviews
Located in the Centro Historico (Zona 1) district of Guatemala City, the Plaza de la Constitución (Parque Central), is considered the best place to kick off a tour of Guatemala City. (You can translate the names as Constitution Square, Constitution Plaza, or Central Park.)
A number of important sites are located around and the Parque Central, as locals refer to it, which follows the standard colonial urban-planning scheme found in the New World. The plaza's concrete “park” is always bustling with activity, especially on public holidays and Sundays. Plaza de la Constitución is also surrounded by important structures like the National Plaza of Culture, the Metropolitan Cathedral, the underground Central Market, the Portal of Commerce and Centenarian Park. The National Library and Periodicals Library and General Archive of Central America are found here too.
Near the Parque Central is the pedestrian-only area of Paseo Sexta Avenida (Sixth Avenue Passage), a beloved shopping and entertainment area that is a great introduction to Guatemalan culture and habits.

Holy week Day tour in Guatemala City
Although Semana Santa is when most visitors travel to Antigua, it’s not the only place to experience the Easter celebrations in Guatemala. The Holy Week is the commemoration of the passion (last days) and death of Jesus Christ through processions.
Holy Week can be a good time to visit Guatemala City. The historical center will be filled with beautiful and solemn religious processions and colorful sawdust carpets as well. Grab your camera and capture the meaningful moments that you´ll see in this heartwarming tour.
You can start taking this tour during The Easter season—known as Lent—which begins on Ash Wednesday (February 17th, 2021) with Decorated churches and special vigils, or explore the City’s Holy Week starting March 28th.
All the religious floats during the holy week are a "not to miss" when you visit Guatemala. But there are 4 special processions you should keep in mind when booking your tour:
- Palm Sunday
- Good Friday
- Holy Saturday
- Easter Sunday
