Tegucigalpa Things to See and Do

As Honduras' capital, Tegucigalpa has no shortage of museums, cathedrals, and attractions to keep a visitor busy for a few days. Nearly all of these are clustered in Barrio Centro, within around 15 minutes walk of Plaza Morazan, making this area an obvious choice for accommodations. If you've only got a day or two, probably the best thing to do is just wander through this neighborhood – you can cover nearly all the city's best churches and parks in a day's walking.

As Honduras' capital, Tegucigalpa has no shortage of museums, cathedrals, and attractions to keep a visitor busy for a few days. Nearly all of these are clustered in Barrio Centro, within around 15 minutes walk of Plaza Morazan, making this area an obvious choice for accommodations. If you've only got a day or two, probably the best thing to do is just wander through this neighborhood – you can cover nearly all the city's best churches and parks in a day's walking. We also recommend devoting at least a half-day to the Museo Para La Identidad Nacional, probably Honduras' coolest museum.

Parque Central

Also known as Plaza Morazan, this is definitely the place to go if you feel like listening to crazy Hondurans rant about religion and/or politics. There's almost always someone screaming next to the large equestrian statue of Morazan, watched by a crowd that alternates between apathy, bemusement...

City Plaza
Tegucigalpa, Honduras
Parque Herrera and Teatro Bonilla

Apart from shade and seats, which are strangely difficult to sit on, there's very little that this park has to offer visitors. On the other hand, the theater across the road should definitely be on the itinerary of anyone with an interest in the arts. Although it's somewhat unimpressive as an...

City Park
Tegucigalpa, Honduras
Parque la Concordia

Apparently the designers of this small, pleasant park couldn't decide between an ancient Mayan motif and a petting zoo, so they decided to combine the ideas. It's a rather surreal experience to see ducks and rabbits cavorting amid model Mayan pyramids. This place definitely wins the award for...

City Park
Tegucigalpa, Honduras
Museo Villa Roy

Perhaps the best indication that this museum is in a sketchy area are the sleepy guards carrying kalashnikovs. The museum is small and charming, but visitors should give serious thought as to whether it's worth the grueling uphill climb. Most exhibits discuss Honduran history after independence....

Museum
Tegucigalpa, Honduras
Museo Para La Identidad Nacional

Probably Tegucigalpa's most impressive museum. This place combines paleontology and natural history, as well as detailing Honduras' pre-Columbian and modern development. Check out Copan Virtual: a 3-D virtual tour of the ruins of Copan as they looked in their heyday. Video presentations of...
