Transportation (Taxis, Buses, Shuttles, Rental Cars, etc.)

The main public transport in cities is the city bus, which is very cheap but difficult for foreigners to understand due to unclear routes, stops, and timetables. Most taxis do not use meters and require fare negotiation before boarding; it is especially important in Guatemala City to choose trustworthy services. Travel between Antigua and tourist sites is convenient and safe using dedicated shuttle buses or tour buses. Rental cars are an option for relatively short distances but can be dangerous if you are unfamiliar with local traffic conditions and driving etiquette, so caution is advised. Avoid traveling at night due to safety concerns; use reliable transportation or hotel shuttles.
