14. Don’t be Too Careless When Visiting Guatemala City

While some tourists skip a visit to the capital, Guatemala City, it wouldn’t hurt to experience what it has to offer, even for just a day. But beware, Guatemala’s capital, just like any city, has its own problems with crime, something that you don’t want to get involved with. So while immersing yourself in the country’s gritty and vibrant urban side, make sure to always be wary of your surroundings and avoid being isolated in places that would make it difficult for you to find help.
