Fun and entertainment - Guatemala in 2024

Practical information : Going out Guatemala

Timetable

Guatemala doesn't have a reputation for being a particularly festive country, even less so since the Covid-19 pandemic. Addresses known for their affluence have been deserted, while a number of nightclubs have revised their opening hours downwards, sometimes illegally welcoming customers until 2am. To find out where the hot spots are at the moment, it's best to ask at the reception desk of your hostel or hotel, while the more festive will opt for a stay in a party hostel. Like the bars, the clubs generally come alive from Thursday onwards. Apart from those in Guatemala City, cultural and entertainment venues are not very popular.

Budget & Tips

The rule is the same everywhere: drinks are more expensive in nightclubs or at festivals. Nevertheless, when they organize a party, party hostels and hostel bars often offer two cocktails for the price of one.

To be booked

Since the beginning of the 2010s, the Cosmic Convergence - www.cosmicconvergencefestival.org - attracts crowds on the lagoon of Atitlán every December 31: it is one of the events for which it is necessary to buy a ticket in advance. However, apart from festivals and special parties with famous bands or DJs, there is no need to anticipate going out.

Night transport

For obvious safety reasons, it is not advisable to cross a city alone at night, even if the distance to be covered is short. The safest thing to do is to take an uber or a cab, which can be ordered from the establishment.

Age restrictions

As in France, the entrance to nightclubs is forbidden to minors. In case of doubt about the age of a client, the bouncers can ask to see his identity papers.
