Great quality goods and huge selection. May be pricier than markets but no merchants hassle you either

Another great handcraft market. But I don't think you can negotiate here.

Love this place! It's like being at the market without all the people coming up to you. I especially like the front area where there are the piles of guipiles and skirts for you to chose from. I can spent an hour here browsing and looking for the perfect gift or souvenir. A must stop in any trip to Antigua.

Nim P'ot is a cooperative market--different vendors from across the country sell their products here. In terms of diversity of products, it's okay, not the best, but it gets 4 stars because you WILL NOT be harassed while shopping. Look as much as you want, the vendors are there to answer any question(s) you have, but they will not be pressuring you to buy.

Lovely artisanal market in the heart of Antigua. You can get loads of souvenirs for cheap! If you're a traveler in need of a bon, they also have a nice book shop in the back.

Save your souvenir shopping for Nim Po't! Definitely still visit the larger, outdoor markets because it's a sensory experience in itself. However, if you don't want to worry about haggling and/or carrying around your souvenir for the duration of your trip, then stop at Nim Po't towards the end of your stay in Antigua. This store showcases hundreds of indigenous crafts under one roof, making the shopping experience easy and stress-free with a wide variety of goods to choose from (and at fair prices). Practically anything we saw at the markets was seen at Nim Po't. It's also conveniently located near the Santa Catalina Arch.

Guatemalan handicrafts market. Very popular with tourists. Prices are almost the same they would charge to Guatemalans/people who can go shopping in really out-of-the-way places. The difference is probably US$1-2 more for somewhat larger items, i.e., t-shirts, small ragdolls. They offer help in shipping larger items, i.e., carved wooden objects like chairs, tables, desks. There is a library stocked with books in several languajes, but don't expect much variety or literary masterpieces to be available in your languaje. Most of the sales asociates speak English, but do not wear uniforms or identifying tags which makes for some awkward moments when you ask for help from fellow shoppers instead of sales associates. You'll find lots of trinkets for a couple USDs to take as gifts for friends/family. Be prepared to use a calculator/currency converter app, prices are posted in GQT, i.e., local currency, the quetzal (Q.) Most of the time there is a crowd. Not a wheelchair-friendly layout or floors. Restrooms available, passably clean most of the time.

If you want colonial-style decorations this is the place to be, from angels and saints to "Catrina's" and death representations,
to an altar for "San Simon", saint of the people with doubtful reputation. You can get masks, images, costumes, coffee and chocolate all handcrafted locally.response / report this review
