Antigua is a perfect city to see by walking. It is fairly compact and is almost completely flat. The main hazard is the uneven surfaces of the cobblestone streets. But as long as you bring some comfortable, flat-soled shoes/sandals, you should be fine. There are also the 3-wheeled scooter taxis known as tuk-tuks but they are not as ubiquitious as they are in Panajachel. One definitely gets to know the city better by walking its streets and peeking into windows and open doors. Just don't be too nosy!

This is the wonderful view from el cerrito in Antigua. This is the same place where the monumental cross is located up on the hill.
