Is Guatemala City Safe?

[@AlikiTravelBlog]

If you are in Guatemala, you can't miss out on Lake Atitlan! One of the most beautiful places I have ever been to! A must-do when in Guatemala: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKKUqYeNbLx5rNk 💯

[@Mariosilvagt3]

Other zones that you should visit are zones 14, 15, and 16 like ciudad Cayala. Check the the giant map of Guatemala is the only one of its kind in the world. Great video!

[@AlikiTravelBlog]

Ooo great recommendations! Many thanks 😊😊

[@charliespacegt]

hi there!! u missed Zona 2, 13, 14, 15, 16, Carretera a El Salvador.. glad u are enjoying your time here!!

[@AlikiTravelBlog]

Great, will have to add those zones to my list to check out for the next time 😊

[@renegodoy8406]

I am glad that you are visiting Guatemala city and reminding people that danger is present in all major cities and people should never surrender their common sense. Guatemala city is greatly under rated and Thank you for doing something about changing that perspective.

[@AlikiTravelBlog]

Thank you so much for your comment, really appreciate it 🙏😊

[@raulbarrera7894]

I’m glad you didn’t skip Guate city like a lot of tourists do. You took the words out of my mouth, Guate is just like any other country. There are places you don’t go , and keep your guard up . I went to Guate in march , and spent time in the city, had no problems .

[@user-zy3gy8mb9u]

Wow great video! Guatemala City is really underated.

[@Tayeday2Wheelz]

Hello, I'm a digital nomad currently living here in Guatemala city Zona 4 . I Couldn't agree with this video more as I've been to each region mentioned. Guatemala city deserves a lot more credit as it is really a gem.

[@AlikiTravelBlog]

Right 😊😊 such a great spot for digital nomads!

[@ganesankpillay3768]

Great great

[@bondedteam626]

You missed ciudad Cayalá, zone 16. Missed zone 15, Vista 15 restaurant, spindle top.

[@marplato2558]

Nice, concise and fun description. Guatemala city is (like you mentioned about Zone 4 and) growing its cosmopolitan vibes and as a Central American top city (between Mexico City and Cartagena Colombia) and will be a top Latin American destination in the next few years, Ciudad Cayala and Zones 14, 15, 16 and suburbs such as Mixco, Fraijanes, San Lucas, Xenacoj, San Cristobal, Pinula and Carretera a El Salvador areas are really looking like some places in Miami or San Diego (I live in the Lagunas in Orange County 🇺🇸) Loved your videos. 😊

[@AlikiTravelBlog]

Thank you so much! Yes, agree! I think GC will only get better 🙌

[@Estuardino71]

4:20 I hope that you don't get me wrong, I love that you enjoyed our country, maybe next time you can try Guatemalan food. Thought all that food you mentioned is delicious and it is made in Guatemala isn't Guatemalan. 😊

[@AlikiTravelBlog]

I did try Guatemalan food and really enjoyed it 😊

[@Jel.Awesh.M]

I knew it, you are from UK ( I checked your profile). Welcome to Guatemala, I hope you have a great time here, enjoy!

[@AlikiTravelBlog]

haha I am not 😅 where did you see that? I had an amazing time, loved it here 😊

[@mygiboxatgmail]

Totally agree with you, I tell friends that want to visit not to go straight to Antigua as most people do, if time allows it spend a day in the city I promise them they won't regret it.

[@AlikiTravelBlog]

Yessssss 😊😊😊

Guatemala city is by far one of the most underrated cities in latin america

[@AlikiTravelBlog]

YESSSSS 🙌 1000%

[@douglasosorio1395]

I had to visit Los Angeles , San Francisco ,Chicago, New York City and Seattle,sorry but Guatemala is more safer those cities

[@antonioz4093]

I love ❤ Guatemala 🇬🇹

[@AlikiTravelBlog]

Amazing country 😍

[@fernandosaid7475]

En la próxima podría ir también a zona 15, ahí hay un restaurante giratorio, a zona 16 en Cayalá, zona 14 que es residencial muy bonito, zona 13 en la avenida principal que es la ruta del Transmetro, zona 11 en el área de Miraflores por la calzada Roosevelt y también puedes ir a Majadas. En cuanto a zona 12 y zona 11 por la Aguilar Batres se está desarrollando aún.

[@RealAmazing888]

Guatemala City is underrated. I was really quite surprised. It's much better than I had anticipated, specially the safer areas of town. Just know where to go and what parts to avoid, just like you would in any major big city, use normal common - sense safety. She is right. Lots to see and do, there's much more than meets the eye. Worth visiting.

[@AlikiTravelBlog]

sooo agree 🙌👍

[@hockleyvalleycoffeeroaster4599]

Traffic is crazy......not crazy like some of the Asian countries but congested.

[@hinthegroove9740]

I’m visiting very soon

[@AlikiTravelBlog]

Nice! Enjoy 😊

[@efalvarado]

Zones 13,14,& 15 are pretty safe and have great a restaurants and walkable areas too

[@AlikiTravelBlog]

Thank you so much for this info 😊

[@aereo1973]

Guatemala city is really cool. J'aime cette ville.

[@AlikiTravelBlog]

[@isra_figueroa]

Do not miss Cayala City in zone 16, and zone 14. Also you can go to Miraflores mall and museum in zone 11. :)

Would Guatemala be a great choice to relocate to and get residency for a retiree or digital nomad?

[@AlikiTravelBlog]

Yes definitely! I think they have a friendly tax regime for expats and easy to relocate ;)

How do you know where the zones are located?

I think if you type into Google maps there it should be pin pointed

[@christopherhouse7937]

What do apartments go for in Guatemala City for a studio or 1 bedroom furnished. Nothing fancy just basic?

[@AlikiTravelBlog]

Well this very depends on the area you staying at. The Zone 10 that I think is one of the best ones for expats and also not the most expensive one - I would say a nice apartment, less than $1000, but probably something basic could be as low as $500-600 per month...but thats from my experience..I haven't looked much at property/long term rental prices.

[@christopherhouse7937]

[@sherieash1280]

Best way to find an apartment to rent?

[@AlikiTravelBlog]

I used Airbnb 😉

[@luhulolskiness]

What currency should we bring when we visit Guatemala? The actual currency or USD?

[@AlikiTravelBlog]

No, they have their own currency - Quetzal. In very touristic places they might accept USD but I would definitely prepare some GTQ for the trip 😉

[@lesliedeleon4705]

Wait a moment isn’t zone 18 very dangerous? 😱😱 why is it orange?

[@AlikiTravelBlog]

Well orange ones you should avoid 🙏

[@JohnMichael-vn9rk]

I will be forever grateful to you, you changed my entire life and I will continue to preach on your behalf for the whole world to hear you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small investment, thank you Mrs Kathy lien.

[@RFE812]

Does Guatemala City have any Major Railroads?

[@AlikiTravelBlog]

I don't think so...not that I know of.

[@tonyjesuslover]

There are zones that are safer than other ones, by example, zone 10, 14, parts of zone 9, zone 4, zone 1, zone 2 and zone 13

[@AlikiTravelBlog]

Amazing, thank you so much for this info!
