Downtown Tegucigalpa is generally quite safe during the day, although you should be on your guard at all times and always take taxis at night. Comayagüela is a much dodgier part of town: wandering around here, day or night, is not recommended. Colonia Palmira is the safest but pricier neighborhood, but still be on guard – again, taxis are the best option at any time.
EatingThere's a dearth of choice downtown, where fast-food joints rule. Colonia Palmira has an impressive selection of upscale, international offerings for a well-worth-it splurge.
Drinking & NightlifeColonia Palmira is your best bet for a night out, with several bars along Bulevar Morazán and Paseo de Republica de Argentina. However, as security issues have dogged the city in recent years, Tegus' nightlife generally starts directly after work and tends to wind down by midnight.
EntertainmentThere's a small but vibrant arts-and-music scene in Tegucigalpa. Spanish speakers can check out www.agendartehonduras.com for a round-up of cultural events; also ask at your hostel for tips. The Museo para la Identidad Nacional frequently holds cultural events and exhibits.
ShoppingHonduran handicrafts are sold at small, rather dismal stores on Av Miguel de Cervantes, east of Plaza Morazán. Other than that there's little of interest for shoppers in Tegus, with most shops concentrated in various large malls around town.
Travel with ChildrenLike most of Latin America, Honduras is very open and welcoming of children. There’s no taboo about bringing children to restaurants or performances, and pregnant women are ushered to the front of the line in banks, government offices and many private businesses.
Travelers will be hard-pressed to find child-specific amenities like car seats, high chairs and bassinets, except perhaps in top-end hotels and resorts. Disposable diapers (nappies), wipes, formula and other basics, however, are available in most large supermarkets. LGBT TravellersHonduras is rather a contradictory place for gay people. While on the one hand same-sex marriage and adoption are both banned in the constitution, it is also illegal to discriminate against people on the grounds of their sexuality. Gay people are visible in society here, though open displays of affection between gay or lesbian couples are unusual, and even risky in some situations. Despite that, there are small yet active gay and lesbian communities in all major cities, though most socialization takes place online.

There are minimal sights in Ceiba itself. But not far from the city boundaries you'll find spectacular rafting, wildlife reserves and national parks.

Accommodations are fairly uninspiring in La Ceiba. Staying in the center is convenient, although it is eerily quiet at night (when you shouldn't walk the streets). There are far better options outside the city amid the tropical jungle by the Río Cangrejal.
EatingThere are some good eating options in La Ceiba, and you'll have the choice of great seafood pretty much everywhere you go. La Línea, a strip where La Ceiba's old railway runs on Av La República, is where you can find street food – including delicious baleadas (tortillas stuffed with refried beans and other fillings) – 24 hours a day.
Drinking & NightlifeMost of La Ceiba’s nightlife centers on and around 1a Calle in Barrio La Isla, known as the zona viva. New places are opening up all the time.

The heart of the city around the Parque Central is run-down but full of life.

Aging budget hotels are mostly in the downtown area south of Parque Central, an area that's very dodgy after dark. Hostels and guesthouses tend to be in the more suburban areas of the city, and some way from downtown.
EatingSan Pedro Sula is no culinary capital and you'll find mostly fast food and basic Honduran fare. Upscale places, where you'll find a few decent international options, are mainly located on Circunvalación. There's also a whole bunch of cheap and cheerful comedores at Mercado Guimilito.
Drinking & NightlifeThe zona viva, which hugs the inside of the Circunvalación between 7a Calle SO and 11a Calle SO, is home to the main concentration of bars and clubs.
