Good to know before you go

The currency is the Guatemalan quetzal and Spanish is the main language, with a tip of around 10 percent standard in restaurants. Public buses are crowded and best avoided by visitors, so use registered taxis or a ride-hailing app like Uber to get around and expect thick traffic at peak hours. Stick to safer zones like Zona 10, keep valuables out of sight, and stay alert as in any large city.
