Metropolitan Cathedral ligger öster om Constitution Square och är lättillgängligt med kollektivtrafik.
Metropolitan Cathedral is centrally located at Plaza de la Constitución in the historical center of Guatemala City. The Transmetro rapid bus system makes getting around Guatemala City easy. Just look for the modern green buses running along dedicated lanes, stopping in the middle of the road in heavy pedestrian areas. Line 1 stops one block away at Estación Mercado Central.
Metropolitan Cathedral is open everyday until about 8pm, with daily mass services. Visit the cathedral in the morning when the neighborhood is just waking up. Sundays are fun days to visit, as the plaza comes alive with families picnicking and street musicians adding a festive soundtrack.
Wander behind the Cathedral to the Central Market to find colorful and reasonably priced Guatemalan handicrafts, hand-woven textiles, leather bags and belts, carved wood goods, and pottery. Also nearby are the more informal market stalls beside Plaza Barrios where you can sample tasty street food while pursuing kiosks filled with souvenirs and clothing.
