I took the Transmetro BRT (bus rapid transit) to get to the city center of Guatemala City. I could\u2019ve taken a street taxi, but what\u2019s the fun in that? The city center of Guatemala is where all the action takes place and it\u2019s full of architecture, history, and culture. The Centro downtown part of Guatemala City is also known as Zona 1 or Zone 1.<\/p>\n

The first thing I noticed when I stepped off the bus was that the one of the main streets were closed to cars. I saw bicyclists and the first thing that dawned on me was that I visited on a Sunday where Ciclovia happens in many cities.<\/p>\n
