Holiday Shopping at Mercado de Artesanias

If you need to do last-minute gift shopping before leaving Guatemala or otherwise don't have time to visit the native craft markets in remote parts of the country, tour the 30-plus stalls of this market for a sense of what's available from various regions. Browse arrays of woolen goods, wood carvings, leather goods, pottery and jewelry. Prices are reasonable. Also, sample regional dishes and sweets, or have a full meal in the Don Emiliano restaurant, open daily. Some market stalls close on Sundays. Parking is available.
