==Places of interest by zones== Guatemala City is divided into 22 zones in accordance with the urban layout plan designed by [[Raúl Aguilar Batres]]. Each zone has its own streets and avenues, facilitating navigation within the city. Zones are numbered 1 through 25. However, numbers 20, 22 and 23 have not been designated to zones, thus these zones do not exist within the city proper.{{sfn|Municipalidad de Guatemala|2008|p=}} {|class="wikitable" style="margin: 1em auto; font-size:0.9em;" |- style="color:white;" !
