Antigua Guatemala is a compact UNESCO colonial city of cobblestone streets, pastel facades, baroque churches and dramatic volcano backdrops (Agua, Fuego). Key subjects: Santa Catalina Arch with volcano views, La Merced, ruined convents (Santo Domingo), street life and markets. Best light: sunrise from Cerro de la Cruz or under the Santa Catalina Arch, golden hour on facades, blue hour for lit churches. Weekday mornings are least crowded. Walkable but cobbles require sturdy shoes; limited parking
