Spanish language schools in Antigua Guatemala

Antigua has already become very touristy. One has noticed the rise in prices (I was there before), especially in restaurants. In the vicinity of Antigua or outside, it is much cheaper. However, there are possibilities to eat somewhere "cheaper" - but it is also nice to have the "comfort". There are many things to do in Antigua, both inside and outside the city (though not during classes, as these are more like half-day or full-day excursions). Everything is within walking distance (SUPER!), otherwise you can quickly take a cheap Uber. As a woman, you are also safe on your own in the evenings. As for the cleanliness: it is rather the air that is not clean. There were some who had respiratory problems (nose is always "full or closed", coughing etc.) - i.e. not recommended for asthmatics (but not a knock-out criteria).

I gave 5 all around because I personally lacked for nothing. Restaurants, cafés, bars, bakeries and salsa bars abound in the pretty old town. At the market, you could buy everything from A to Z. Expensive fashion clothes aren't really my thing anyway, so I'm absolutely satisfied with the service here too. There are also plenty of excursion options. A great place to learn Spanish and Salsa.

The atmosphere in the city is very pleasant, and even strangers greet you when they make eye contact with you. However, since it is a tourist area, prices are not so economical, depending on what you are looking for. A meal at a restaurant costs over 1,000 yen. I walked around at night and took buses, but I didn't find anything dangerous.

Antigua is a very relaxed and modern small town with great excursion possibilities, numerous restaurants and small, sometimes extravagant cafés + bars and above all very hospitable locals. The people are so chilled and approachable at all times, you really feel at home and even after dusk you don't have to worry.

The city is lovely, and the people are generally very welcoming to foreigners. However, this can also be a problem, as locals may seek to take advantage of this by charging higher prices. Foreigners often end up paying more in stores and have to do a lot of negotiating, which is not ideal.

I think Antigua is a very nice city. There is a lot of security which makes me feel safe as a solo female traveler. There are many sights, activities, restaurants, entertainment options (until 1:00) and a beautiful volcano hike!

I am certain that Antigua is one of the cities which is very safe. There are many restaurants, cafes, shops, laundries, bakeries and etc., so it is very convenient not only for students but for tourists too.

Antigua Is a very scenery City with lot of things to do, you can do anything you like. Many places to see and shops to discover. It's in close proximity to the sea 2-3h and the food is just amazing.

They really have to get rid of the Cars, motos and tuctucs in town. Air Pollution it a big Problem there. Apart from that is it a perfect place to learn Spanish.

Beautiful city, great views of volcanoes, beautiful trees and plants. sadly alot of pollution from diesel. I do want to visit again!

Open and inclusive, good atmosphere. Opportunity for Tandem.
Very nice.

I was in a small group and our teacher was great. She emphasised communication above all. The afternoon activities on offer were OK, but I would have liked more activities with less expense when travelling. The pick-up from the airport worked really well. The introduction was good. There are also some older students.
