Five Places to Go in Guatemala City<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Five Places to Go in Guatemala City:-Cuatro Grados Norte (Four Degrees North) has quietly arrived as the pulsing, bohemian hub of a rejuvenated Guatemala City. The 19th-century neighborhood, originally known as the city exposition district and inspired by the 1889 Paris World\u2019s Fair, had by the late 1990s become infamous for its abandoned factories and alarming crime rate. Today, a new generation of hopeful, innovative Guatemaltecos has reclaimed Cuatro Grados Norte and converted it into the city\u2019s pre-eminent cultural and gastronomic zone, filled with vibrant street art, coffee shops, tech incubators, artisan cooperatives and chef-owned restaurants.<\/span><\/p>\n

Set in the intimate lower level of the Casa del \u00c1guila Cultural Center, the microbrewery serves artisanal lagers, I.P.A.s, hefeweizens and coffee stouts as well as sausages.<\/span><\/p>\n
