Is there a lot of crime in Antigua?
We asked people if there is a lot of crime. They answered...
"Antigua, like any other city, does experience crime. However, it is generally considered safer than other parts of Guatemala. Petty crimes such as pickpocketing, bag snatching, and theft are the most common types of crime, particularly in crowded areas and on public transportation. Violent crime is less common but does occur, often linked to gang activity or drug trafficking. Tourists are advised to take precautions, such as not displaying valuable items, avoiding isolated areas, especially at night, and using reliable transportation. Despite these issues, many people visit Antigua without experiencing any crime. The local authorities are working to improve safety and security in the city," commented one expat who made the move to Antigua, Guatemala.
