Huehuetenango is quite walkable, especially in its compact city center where shops, restaurants, and cultural sites like the central park and the cathedral are within close proximity. The small size of the central area means you can conveniently run errands and explore local attractions on foot. Moreover, amenities such as hotels, cafes, and bars are clustered together, making it easy for travelers to navigate without needing a car.

Public transportation in Huehuetenango mainly consists of buses and 'colectivos' that connect to the bus terminal and beyond. While these options can get you to various destinations including other towns and cities like Guatemala City, the lack of readily available schedule information can make planning a bit challenging. Additionally, the distance of the main bus station from downtown may require extra time, and safety considerations suggest some caution.

The bikeability in Huehuetenango is limited due to the city's mountainous terrain and steep hills, making biking for everyday travel challenging. Although there are mountain biking trails in the surrounding areas for recreational use, the heavy traffic on major roads like the Pan-American Highway contributes to a more unsafe environment for cyclists. This makes it less practical for travelers to rely on biking as a primary mode of transportation within the city.
