What do people like (and dislike) about Guatemala City?
When we asked expats and global nomads what they like and dislike about living in Guatemala City, they replied...
"Expats and digital nomads generally like the low cost of living in Guatemala City, which allows them to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle without breaking the bank. They appreciate the vibrant culture, rich history, and friendly locals who are often eager to share their traditions and customs. The city offers a variety of delicious local and international cuisine, as well as bustling markets and shopping centers. The weather is also a plus, with a pleasant climate year-round. On the other hand, expats and digital nomads may dislike the safety concerns in Guatemala City, as it has a reputation for high crime rates and gang activity. They may also find the traffic and public transportation to be chaotic and unreliable, making it difficult to navigate the city. Additionally, the infrastructure, particularly in terms of internet connectivity, can be lacking in some areas, which can be frustrating for digital nomads who rely on a stable connection for work. Finally, the language barrier can be challenging for those who do not speak Spanish, as English is not widely spoken outside of tourist areas," said another in Guatemala City, Guatemala.
