The capital is worth exploring
Despite being commonly regarded as one of the world's most dangerous towns, the Honduran capital has some sights worth seeing. Of course, safety precautions must be taken when staying in the capital, such as staying in a safer neighborhood, avoiding going out at night, and not bringing cash or valuables with you when you go out. If you're feeling courageous – and keep in mind that, despite its reputation, most excursions to Tegucigalpa are incident-free – there's enough to enjoy in the city. It is Central America's second-biggest metropolis and one of the region's oldest capital cities.
La Leona Park, which has magnificent views of the city, El Picacho Park, which has a statue of Christ overlooking the city (and adjacent Comayaguela! ), and the old town with colonial architecture are all worth a visit. While Tegucigalpa has some intriguing attractions, San Pedro Sula, the other important city, isn't worth the time and is mostly utilized as a transit hub. The dangers of Honduras can be greatly reduced by avoiding San Pedro Sula.
