4. Guatemala City

Insider Monkey Score: 4

Guatemala City ranks as one of the best places to retire in Guatemala for many reasons. Being the capital and largest city, it is home to many urban amenities such as shopping centers, museums, theaters, and other cultural attractions. The healthcare facilities are much more modern and better quality than in rural areas, which is why many retirees choose to live here. The growing expatriate community, in turn, is luring in more retirees to this city. The cost of living can be expensive compared to other cities and towns, yet it is lower than in other Western nations. An apartment in the city can range between $50,000 to $200,000. Moreover, a single person can live on $1,041 monthly (including rent).
