Tegucigalpa, Honduras
Business district with upscale hotels, malls, and offices. Lots of private security and gated areas make it relatively safe, but there's nothing culturally interesting here.
The business center with upscale hotels, shopping malls, and corporate offices all behind heavy security. Gated communities, private guards everywhere, suits during work hours. This area serves Honduras's upper class and business travelers looking for secure, comfortable places to stay. Restaurants here do international and local food, plus there are boutiques and modern malls. During business hours the streets feel relatively safe with all the activity and security, though you should still pay attention. After 6pm when offices close, it gets quiet except for hotel restaurants. Like Colonia Palmira nearby, this is one of the safer areas, but the same rules apply - taxis after dark, don't show valuables, stay where there's visible security. It's professional and comfortable rather than culturally interesting, but if you want safety and comfort over authentic experience, this works.

The hotel and restaurant hub with embassy security nearby. One of the safer parts of the city, especially during the day. Good dining options and English-speaking staff make it easier for visitors.
Mountain area outside the city with restaurants that have good views. Gateway to La Tigra National Park. Daytime lunch destination only - arrange hotel transport both ways and get back before dark.
The safest and most expensive part of Tegucigalpa. Embassies, private security, and better restaurants than elsewhere in the city. You'll pay extra for everything, but it's the most secure option if you're staying here.
