Hill Of The Cross - Antigua Guatemala

Great spot to get a good view of the city and take cute pictures! Don't do what we did though: Take the same way back because the paths that look like a trail don't lead to the city. You'll end up in a person's backyard in the woods and it's very awkward to ask them to go through their private property.

(Dec 2022 There's construction going on at the moment, likely for months, hence it is hard to see a proper view of the city. Even if you did, it is unclear if it is worth a hike up on a hot day. There is so much you could do in the city that is far more worth it (even if you randomly walk around trying local street fare! . If you keep going up a bit more, you get to the statue of an old Spanish general. Lots of locals sitting around, and enjoying fruit and ice cream. If you have nothing g else to do, checkout Hill of the Cross.

Lovely place with a nice view, just a few steps away from city center of Antigua. Entrance is free. :

This place is hard to get I. Top but when you are on top km/h the view is amazing the nature is very nice and beautiful, you can take so many pics , they are cleaning the place and try to get the walking easy , I took a lot of pics . Can’t wait to go back.

We went during the day in March and this was an enjoyable, easy climb up with rewarding views of the surrounding area. Regarding the safety of the area, I cannot speak for prior to sunrise and after sunset, but going in the day is safe. There is police presence and plenty of other people climbing it. I did hear from a local to watch out for pickpocketers, particularly children, but I did not personally see or hear of any event; just something to keep in mind.
