Getting Around San Pedro Sula

San Pedro is an easy city to get around in. It is divided into four quadrants following the old Spanish system of building cities: Northeast, southeast, northwest and southwest. All the streets are numbered, with avenues leading from north to south and streets east to west. Downtown is marked by the 1st Street. The most important commercial street is Third (tercera) Ave. Although there are plenty of public buses, you will find that taxis are plentiful and very reasonable. Whatever the case, make sure that you negotiate the taxi rate before getting into it. It is a good idea to ask the bell boy at your hotel (or any other reliable source) what the going rate for a taxi to where you are headed for costs. Another alternative is to rent a car. Most of the US car rental franchises have offices in San Pedro Sula: Avis, Budget, Dollar, Hertz all do, in addition there are local rent a car companies. Most have offices at the airport and there is usually one in the lobby of the better hotels.
