Points of Interest & Landmarks
San Pedro Sula Central Park is a lively plaza located in the heart of the city, surrounded by landmark buildings and paved paths. The main Cathedral, built in 1949 and recently restored, adds to the park's charm. However, visitors should be cautious due to the presence of shady individuals and pickpocketing risks. Despite this, it remains an iconic spot where one can enjoy typical foods and beverages during the city's anniversary celebrations in June.
High-quality area, low-quality people surrounding the area, my younger brothers were approached by an older man asking for money, I had to step in and ask him to leave.

A lovely central square with lots of photo opportunities. However, the surrounding area can be a bit shady!

Cute little park in middle of a bustling market / shopping area. Food options include breakfast cafe (Cafeteria Pamplona - American diner layout, has air-conditioning), western fast food restaurants (McDonalds, BK, Wendy's, KFC), local street vendors. Not good for children (no play areas). Mostly just a shaded area with benches near a big church. Good place to start a walk-around, take some photos, do some shopping, have a coffee / breakfast.
Fiona — Google review
I'm going to go with a four out of five just because of the amount of trash around and the amount of shady people that are around. There was a big police presence when I was there so that made me feel comfortable but at the same time there were still a lot of weird people there. It's nice to see the church and also the San Pedro sign. Money changers will always bother you and give you terrible exchange rates never go with it. It is not a bad stop but would not recommend staying there for a while.

It was a beautiful experience visiting San pedro sula I visited the church, the park, everything is clean and there is a lot of security. I felt protected. I walked through the park. The streets are small but the people are friendly. There is a lot of traffic but the streets are in good condition. The mayor has done a good job. I recommend it.

Clean, safe and very walkable. The water fountains are beautiful, and it's location in front of the cathedral and city hall are definite pluses.

San Pedro Sula's Central Park is an icon place in the hearth of industrial main city of Honduras, you may notice birds and taste some typical foods and beverages on June of each Year due to the City Anniversary, you must be very careful of not taking valuable things with you, due to high traffic of pedestrans and risk of thieve. The city grew slowly from about 800 residents in 1590, to almost 500,000 by the 2017's, but most of this population growth took place in the 19th century. It benefited initially from the growth of bananas for export in the 1870s and 1880s and formed a close relationship with US based shipper and railroad entrepreneur Samuel Zemurray's Cuyamel Fruit Company, and the construction of the Interoceanic Railroad between 1869 and 1874 which connected the city to the coast at Puerto Cortés.

Flea & Street Markets
Mercado Guamilito is a bustling and colorful market that captures the essence of the city. It offers an array of handcrafted souvenirs, local produce, and traditional items. Visitors can find great deals on beautiful gifts and immerse themselves in the vibrant atmosphere. The market has been recently renovated, blending modern amenities with nostalgic charm. Vendors are friendly and not pushy, creating a pleasant shopping experience.
The historic place where you can buy souvenirs groceries and eat out all in one place. This place is even good for dates and always welcome tourist. Good vibe and atmosphere to experience tradition and culture of the country.
Carlos O — Google review
As most people know, some years ago the old market burned down and this new one was rebuilt in its place. The new market is not the same vibe or historical importance as the one prior. The new market much like the old offers artisanal crafts. You can also visit the tortilla stalls where you can watch people making tortillas from scratch everyday and by hand mind you. Within this market is a famous dining kitchen started by the famous lady Estelinas. If you happen to be a Tourist you need to visit and get to know this historical place in SPS, Honduras.

Pretty neat place for local art and craft and even local food. Many stalls have Honduras shirts, dresses, handbags, arts...etc, However, not sure it's worth going back again and again since the goods are all pretty similar.

Performing arts theater
Teatro José Francisco Saybe is the local pride, a renowned performing arts theater consistently presenting worthwhile plays. It holds a world-class status and stands as the country's finest establishment of its kind. Stay informed about ongoing shows through local newspapers to fully experience this remarkable venue. Its ambiance is highly appreciated, boasting an aesthetically pleasing setting that perfectly complements the excellent quality of performances showcased there.
Teatro José Francisco Saybe is definitely a must-visit in Honduras. It’s home to the Círculo Teatral Sampedrano, with a variety of plays performed throughout the year full of talent and passion. On Thursdays, they usually offer a 2x1 ticket promotion, making it even more accessible. Watching a play here is a cultural experience you shouldn’t miss.

The theater is a classic one way looking stage, comfortable seats, but not for tall o big size people. The real issues comes with the parking, there are not enough spots to cover even a 15% of the audience seats.

A place that can't be missed, a definite must go for both locals and tourists! Be sure to bring enough cash, because the cashier doesn't accept credit or debit cards (that's something they should accept by now though). Tickets are sold starting one hour before show time. Come early so can get nice seats and a good parking space, as parking is on the street. On the street, some guys take care of your car for a flat fee of Lps. 50, so you better bring cash for them too. You can eat and drink during the 10 minute break and even buy ahead so that you don't have to worry about making a queue during the short intermission.

I had a satisfying experience during my stay at Angeli Gardens in San Pedro Sula. The accommodation, provided by Sergio and the attentive staff, met all of my expectations. The charming cabins were nestled within the picturesque garden and conveniently located near the pool. During breakfast by the pool, I was delighted to observe various bird species such as macaws and oropendolas. What sets this place apart is its enchanting atmosphere and strong connection to nature.
Such a great place to stay!!! The grounds are immaculate!! You can tell the Grounds keepers take pride in their job and it shows. My room was very clean. The help I got from the receptionist was above and beyond. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone.

What a delightful place to stay! While I wasn't initially thrilled about traveling to SPS, this hotel truly saved the day. I felt completely at ease and utterly at peace during my stay. The owners must be truly special individuals, with their evident knowledge and love for nature shining through. This is an amazing project! It boasts beautiful gardens, a relaxing pool, delicious food, refreshing drinks in the restaurant, and incredibly kind receptionists.

Came here to make the trek up the hill to get the view id SPS. You must take a tour guide that only goes on a predefined schedule even if you're the only one there. The trek takes you thru nice scenery and makes you wish you were in better shape. There is a restaurant and plant store available.

Bouncing castle in the back garden for kids - but still a decent choice for a romantic evening out. Or girls night. Perfect ambiance for a perfect meal.

Meal: Dinner Day Visited: Monday Budget: HNL 700 Closest Station: N/A Reservation Needed?: No Payment: Cash; Credit Kid Friendly?: Yes English Menu?: Yes Attached to the hotel, this restaurant serves its purpose. My pizza was massive (as warned by my friendly waitress) and fairly pricey, if a bit underwhelming. The restaurant has a good selection of drinks and on the night I visited I was able to sit at a table near the pool. Pleasant as far as hotel restaurants are concerned.
Zachary H — Google review
If it wasn’t for the atmosphere and service I would give this an overall 1. The food was mediocre. Bland with hardly any distinct taste. It’s surprising to see so many options but ones you can’t even really feel you can even favorite after trying a little of everything. The vegetables looked and tasted like they came out of cans. I could probably cook some of that food better than what this cost. I don’t mean to be offensive but maybe they will get a different menu or chef for such a price. Overall a two out of five stars. Beautiful setting next to pool view. Nice music not too loud and servers were quick to help and attend.

I used to be a regular at this restaurant and always looked forward to their buffets, specially the Seafood Friday Night Special. Unfortunately, my most recent visit was a huge disappointment. For 800 lempiras, I expected the same quality I was used to, but what I got instead was mediocre food that lacked flavor and freshness. The hot dishes were barely warm, and the seafood (normally the highlight) tasted bland and unappetizing. It honestly felt like everything had been sitting out for too long. Also when I called before arriving they said a drink of choice (pepsi or a beer) was included in the price. When I asked for the drink within the premises they told me it was not included. It’s sad to see how far the quality has dropped. I hope they make improvements soon, because as it stands, I wouldn’t recommend it anymore.

What an incredible experience! We were on the way home from Copan Ruinas, having cut our trip short because my son broke his arm and the local orthopedist suggested that he would need surgery and it would be cheaper to go home for that given our health insurance. So needless to say, we weren't in the best of moods on the evening we visited this restaurant. First of all, our server Freddy not only introduced himself, but asked all three of our names and addressed us thusly for the duration of our meal. Second, the food was incredible. My son and I shared a ribeye which was done to perfection. We also had plantains a la gloria which were like dessert - super delicious. Third, speaking of dessert (!) we did not order any. However Freddy clearly noticed that our son needed cheering up and brought us an amazing surprise. It literally brought tears to our eyes, it was so thoughtful and so... well, just what we needed, given how depressing it was to have an injured kid and to have to cut our trip short. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough, and Freddy specifically is wonderful.

Restaurante La Estancia Parrillada Uruguaya is a popular spot for meat lovers in San Pedro Sula. It offers deliciously tender steaks and a variety of other dishes. In addition to Mexican and Italian cuisine, the restaurant also features American fast food options, but stands out with its Guatemalan and Honduran fast food chains. While it may be considered pricey by local standards, visitors from the United States find the prices quite reasonable for the quality of food served.
