Overview
Guatemala's honorary consulate in St. Pölten serves Guatemalan nationals across Lower Austria from Josefstraße in the provincial capital. Honorary Consul Gabriela Schallehn-Schmidberger provides consular assistance under the supervision of the Guatemalan Embassy in Vienna. Guatemala — the heart of the ancient Maya world — attracts a growing number of Austrian travelers drawn to Tikal's towering pyramids in the jungle, the colonial beauty of Antigua with its volcano backdrop, Lake Atitlán surrounded by indigenous villages, and the vibrant Chichicastenango market. The consulate serves as an initial point of contact for Austrian businesses interested in Guatemala's agricultural exports (coffee, cardamom, sugar) and textile sector.
