    It's nice to see if you're passing by. Nothing to make a special trip for.

    This is a very unique site, and the history is interesting. really it's a drive-by attraction and I don't see the need to stop as the only thing local around there is a Burger King.

    This is the Eiffel Tower of Cuidad Guatemala. It’s located in the Reformador neighborhood. Nothing special but it’s really there to explore and get close to. It’s dominates part if the sky and it’s visible from far away. That’s how I end up here. It was safe even at night.

    The Reformer Tower really comes into its own at night and when there is little traffic.

    Nice clean place while we were there.. Depending on when and time of day, drive by around 2ish busy traffic but walking by around 6ish in the evening and it was quiet around there

    What a structure it has no reason to exist but the very fact it does puts a smile on the face of motorists and pedestrians walking by alike. It's best viewed from afar at first on foot, slowly approaching it becomes larger and the full detail of the structure appears and it seems to play with the light. It's worth a trip out to see only a brief stroll for those in sector 10

    A lovely tower! An important and emblematic monument located in Guatemala City, called La Torre del Reformador (Tower of the Reformer) in honor to Jorge Ubico, known as The Reformer for a series of economic, religious and social changes that he made in the country and whom become president of Guatemala between 1931 and 1944. This monument has constituted over time as a representative element of urban planning and is a metal structure, from which its pieces were imported from the United States, it was built with galvanized iron by the United States Steel Products Company and its cost at that time exceeded Q.49,000.00. Is a lovely tower! Our Tower!

    We were warned by locals that there were thieves watching you. Still, it was worth being there. If the statements are correct, then it's better to keep an eye on your own valuables.

  • 1/5 Ole Jacob B. 2 years ago on Google
    Looks like a miniature version of Eiffel. Full of rust, never done maintenance and surrounded by cheap shops, garages and gas station
