Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
You’ll only need a voltage converter if your device’s voltage doesn’t match the voltage in the country you’re visiting. In Antigua, you won’t need a converter since the voltage is the same as in the U.S.
To avoid electrical issues, always check the voltage specifications on your device’s label before heading abroad. If it reads “100-240V, 50/60 Hz”, your device is dual voltage and can handle both 120V and 220-240V without requiring a converter. Most laptops, tablets, cameras, and smartphones have this feature.

More About Antigua
Antigua is like a living postcard—cobblestone streets, pastel colonial buildings, and the iconic Santa Catalina Arch that stretches over the street. It’s compact enough to explore on foot in a day but packed with culture at every turn. Easter’s Holy Week is something else here—the streets bloom with massive flower and sawdust carpets, designed overnight in vibrant color.
Surrounded by volcanoes like Agua and Fuego, Antigua has this vibe of peaceful beauty mixed with quiet power. And even though it’s nestled at about 1,500 meters (around 4,900 ft), the weather feels like perfect spring year-round—ideal for wandering outdoor cafés or gallery-hopping.
Antigua uses the same plugs and outlets as the rest of Guatemala.
