🚆 Getting around Tegucigalpa
Toncontín Airport (TGU)
About 6 km south of the center; a taxi into town takes ~20–30 minutes. Always agree the fare before getting in.
Taxis & colectivos
Use official taxis or have your hotel call one, and settle the price first. Colectivos are shared taxis on fixed routes for less.

Cheap rapidito (express, fewer stops) and ordinario (slower, frequent stops) buses serve the city — there's no metro or tram.

About 26–27 lempiras to the US dollar. Carry small cash, as smaller shops are cash-only; ATMs are in malls and main areas.
Stay safe
Avoid walking quiet streets after dark, stick to busy, well-lit areas, and use trusted taxis instead of long night walks.
