这个拱门是安提瓜的标志,朝北的大街尽头是La Merce,其他方向也框住了Volcan de Agua的景致。这里是安提瓜众多吸引我的地方之一。
This is iconic. Most of Guatemala's pictures are from Antigua. Most of them are of the volcano or the Arch.
A really good landmark to help find your way around town. Beautiful architecture. A must see while staying in Antigua. Lots of nice photo ops.
在安提瓜最适合拍照的地方这是这里。这是一条美丽的街道,教堂在一端,阿瓜火山的美景在另一端。那里有很多街头艺术家,在这里人们可以买到一些完成得非常出色的画作。
The Arco de Santa Catarina is right on the center of the city. It is an interesting and very caracteristic place.
We booked a trip to Antigua from our Cruise line which stopped in Puerto Quetzal and were pleased to discover a quaint and yet vibrant town with plenty of opportunities for photography. People watching was at its best near the Arco de Santa Catalina, dogs, kids, lovers, street peddlers, it was great! The ruins of the old Basilica were also of interest. Other than this, not much to do here, but the trip was still worth it: it took us away from the ship and the port.
This is a popular attraction that seemingly everyone has to take a photo with - yes, I did too - but it is just a yellow arch that covers the street. It's in a ritzier part of town and the restaurants in this area are much pricier than if you find a local comedor.
This is a nice arc from colonial times, just in the center of Antigua. You cannot miss it, so you WILL see it. It is also a central point for performances e.g of local dance groups or Marimba musicians. Like in all tourist-crowded places: Watch out for pickpockets. And don't buy souvenirs in the nearby shops, they are all over-priced.
If you are thinking of visiting Antigua, the Arco is prominently displayed in anything "Antigua" so once you get there you will know where to go. It is located in the heart of the old town Antigua and in the middle of the pedestrian street. It reminds me of "China Town" arc(gate) because you will know that you are at the heart of the city. I spent a few days in Antigua and took quite a few pictures with the Arc. Get there early morning you can get the Arc with empty street. Get there in the afternoon, you will get the pictures with tourists and souvenir sellers, and get there at night you will see vibrant life of Antigua. You do not need to make a point of going there because you will be at it.
建议:购买便宜的精美的手工艺品,大商店是最好的选择。有点:这儿景色很好,可以看到山的美景,购物体验很舒服,多姿多彩,而且很繁华,值得一看!
