Lonely Planet review for Antigua Market

Antigua Market - chaotic, colorful and always busy - sprawls north of 4a Calle. Morning, when villagers from the Antigua vicinity are actively buying and selling, is the best time to come. On the official market days Mayan women spread their wares over open-air areas north and west of the covered market area. Like many Guatemalan markets, Antigua market is cheek-by-jowl with the bus terminal, adding to the crowds, noise and dirt.

    Never dull...

    lapuerkita recommends this,

    I love the market in Antigua. After having lived in Antigua and visited many times, this place never gets boring. It is full of everything and anything you could wish to buy. If it's your first time visiting the market, I would advise taking note of where you start in the labyrinth, so you can find your way out again when you want to leave. There are some great places to eat in the centre of the market. You can sit and have lunch and a drink for less than $2 and it's good food. The only thing I would advise against, is walking around this area after dark if you can avoid it. There's nothing there except some shady characters from about 7pm.
