Wonderful park, great place to have a meal, people watch, or just soak up the culture. Pros: center of everything! Banks, food, churches - action is right there! Downside is all the buskers, constantly asking you to buy stuff and pushing their little ones to sell things.

A nice calm but lively town center in the middle of Antigua, we visited during new years and they had an open market with lots of local products to purchase. A beautiful church is located right next to the square in the old Spanish catholic style.
