Beautiful Wilderness park about 20 km outside of Tegucigalpa. The site has many kilometres of hiking trails and is terrific for bird enthusiasts, as it's an easily accessible place to see quetzals, trogons, toucans and more.

This museum is the best that downtown Tegucigalpa has to offer. Very informative exhibits provide an excellent overview of Honduran history, with genuine artifacts and interesting photos. It is small, but even my teens enjoyed it. Our English-speaking guide explained the highlights and did not gloss over some of the more tragic aspects of History, pointing out the promissory note for the Honduran railway that was never built (the president at the time stole the 25 million British Pounds, then the country labored for decades to repay the loan anyway). There is a lot of modern art that is lost on a foreigner, but do make this one of your first stops in Tegucigalpa.

I took my first graders on a field trip to the museum and it was fantastic. The exhibits are interactive and educational, and we all had a blast. The tour guides were highly energetic, knowledgeable, and entertaining. Admission was inexpensive, and souvenirs were moderately priced. Wish we had more time here to explore!

There are a lot of great malls in Tegucigalpa. I think anyone you ask would group City Mall as one of the nicest, safest malls to visit, along with Cascadas & Multiplaza. This is the biggest mall of the three and the one I come to for yummy food and movies. Also, it has the only Forever 21 store. Some other favorites of mine at City Mall are Auntie Anne's Pretzels and Otti Shoes. You'll find delicious, fresh-made pretzels, and Honduran-made, well-priced, great-looking leather shoes (both on the same floor as Forever 21). I always see people sweeping the floors and cleaning the doors and windows, and after going to a movie one night, we even saw people cleaning the floors of the parking garage! I feel safe here and comfortable taking out my smartphone or hanging out alone. Definitely recommend checking out this mall, along with the ones mentioned at the beginning if you're looking for a safe, entertaining place to kill some time.

Stopped in here at 12:30 on Sunday afternoon and were told they were just closing. Got a quick peek before they closed the door. Best to time your visit before or after mass to ensure you can go inside.
Just a short walk from Parque Central. We took the public bus (11lps) from San Felipe Hospital (we were staying at the new Hyatt Place Hotel nearby) to Parque Central and walked around. Took the bus back without problems.
Was told by a local the plaza and surrounding area is generally safe during the daytime and is patrolled by police and military. We didn't feel at all unsafe during our visit to this part of Tegucigalpa.

This church looks like just another Spanish colonial from the outside, but don't be fooled, go inside, it is beautiful! All done in gold and pastel colors, looking like the painters finished yesterday. and in front of it a square with a Fountain kids can play in, statues, and surrounded by tiendas where you can get your souvenirs, and listen to Latin American music while you shop.

Driving or Taxi is probably a better, safer option. I walked it from my hotel at mid morning without any problems. There are no shortcuts when walking. The road leads up from behind the National Stadium. There is was a guard at the gate checking cars. The Eco Park is not complete yet but there is some potential for some nice displays. The Peace Monument with the national flag sits atop the hill. It is nestled in the trees so real panoramic views aren't possible. Still it views of the city layout from the center. There are picnic tables and toilets and its free.

My conference ended on Saturday, and I spent an extra day exploring downtown Tegucigalpa. I walked the few blocks to the park from where I stayed at La Ronda Hostel, and ate breakfast at the McDonald’s across the street from the park. I then walked through the park again and down the pedestrian walkway to the Museo para la Identidad Nacional (MIN). I spent some time sitting in the park, which was full of people to watch, and felt very safe and comfortable. At the end of the day, I walked back through the park to my hostel.
