As the commercial capital of Honduras, San Pedro Sula has more shopping options than anywhere else in the country. For handicrafts and local goods, head to the Mercado de Guamalito or Casa del Sol market, where you will find Lenca pottery, leather bags, wood carvings, and gemstone jewelry. The two big modern malls are Metroplaza and City Mall, both stocked with international brands at reasonable prices. Straw hats make practical souvenirs -- useful in the heat and easy to pack.
