+ Add a Photo

By Mike Karanicolas

San Pedro Sula is Honduras' economic and commercial hub, and for most travelers it's just a stopping point on the way to Tela, La Ceiba or Copan Ruinas. Indeed, the city does not boast much in terms of attractions. Still, it's a pleasant place with a laid-back charm and a long history.

San Pedro's commercial importance dates back to its foundation in 1536. From its inception, it functioned as a colonial mint where the Spaniards brought gold to be smelted before exportation.
