There aren\u2019t many tourist activities in San Pedro Sula mainly because tourism doesn\u2019t exist. Gringos come to San Pedro Sula for business reasons only and I was basically the only tourist that I saw during my three day stay. Downtown San Pedro Sula is located in the middle of \u201cThe Ring\u201d road and it\u2019s also known as the Parque Central area.<\/p>\n

I walked from my hotel on Avenida Circunvalacion<\/a>, then to Boulevard Morazan<\/a> and finally reached Parque Central. Parque Central is the city-center of San Pedro Sula where many locals come to congregate.<\/p>\n

Across the street from Parque Central is the beautiful Catedral San Pedro Apostol.<\/p>\n

There are a lot of pedestrian only alleyways filled with shops and restaurants.<\/p>\n

\"downtownsps4\"<\/a> \"downtownsps5\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There is also an indoor shopping center called Mall Pasaje Valle.<\/p>\n

Most of the streets near Parque Central are filled with street vendors hawking their wares. This is the best place to buy cheap clothing and electronics.<\/p>\n

There was also a seedy area near the railroad tracks where you can find more shopping. I did see some prostitution going on around this area as well.<\/p>\n

Thankfully there are a lot of cops during the daytime to keep things safe in the most dangerous city in the world. I wouldn\u2019t come here at night past 6pm since it could be dangerous, but I found it perfectly safe during the daytime.<\/p>\n
