    Very nice place, unfortunately, there's an incredible amount of vehicles around. Better to be visited during the weekend

  • 5/5 Shivananda S. 4 years ago on Google • 87 reviews
    It's an excited and nice experience ti be there in plaza obelisco in Sunday morning. A lot of people came here for morning walk with their families and pets. From the government sude, the security is very high, national police, army troops, fire brigade, municipal clean personnel, pet care department. Also many non governmental organizations also present to educate the people with variety of activities. I love this historic place. You’ll find variety of fast foods, drinks. Thus is the nice place to spend a good and quality tine with family with wide open space, park, flowers, many trees.

    Very nice experience, specially for Christmas season. It's been decorated with EL GALLO TREE, ( there's a Christmas tree maybe 75 feet tall decorated with Soo many Christmas lights and balls too, also lights they move with the music) many people get tougher and passes a nice Time.

  • 5/5 Botonrodriguez 7 years ago on Google
    Perfect place to catch a glimpse of the daily life of the locals walking to work or waiting to hop on the bus to work. It's also a great place to sit with your partner and enjoy the volcanic views that surrounds Guatemala City.
