Paseo de la Sexta (Walk of the Sixth), Guatemala City
The Walk of the Sixth, or Paseo de la Sexta, is a portion of Sixth Avenue populated with restaurants, cafes, bars, and shopping spots. The area is popular with tourists and locals due to its variety of shops and central location.
The street was created with the plan for cultural activities, but it is now primarily a shopping spot. Still, those looking for a cultural experience may find it on the Walk of the Sixth. Local food, craft offerings, and open-air sculptures give tourists a taste of true Guatemala.
Pasaje Rubio (Blonde Alley) is one of the most notable buildings on the street. The yellow brick structure is mostly apartments, but the first floor is home to antique shops, a jewelry store, and a bookstore.
This section of Sixth Avenue was remodeled in 2010. It was turned into a pedestrian-only street so those exploring the tourist attractions nearby, like Central Park and the National Palace of Culture, can continue their walking tour unencumbered by street traffic.
