Travel tips for Honduras - what to prepare in advance and what to obey

1. Vacationers are not recommended to go for a walk to remote areas of cities. In the evenings, away from the central quarters, it can be unsafe. In public places, it is recommended to watch your personal belongings closely, as one of the main problems of Honduras is pickpocketing.

2. It is noteworthy that the crime rate in large cities of the country is much higher than in provincial areas. Small cities are considered the safest, but basic safety precautions should still be observed.

3. You will certainly find several colorful markets in every city. It's best to go shopping having a large number of small bills - it will be easier to pay the merchants with them. Bargaining in the markets is not accepted, but if you win the seller's favor, you can get a small discount, about 5%.

4. Although Spanish is considered the official language, some sellers in the markets, as well as employees of local restaurants and hotels, are fluent in English.

5. Prices in local shops and hotels will certainly please budget travelers. Travelers do not have to spend hours searching for cheap restaurants and cafes, as prices are pretty reasonable everywhere.

6. The country has some problems with electric power supply. In large cities, the problem has long been resolved, while provincial areas still produce electricity through individual generators. As a rule, electricity is supplied from 5:00 am to 12:00 am.

7. Along with inns and hotels, tourists also prefer boarding houses offering equally comfortable accommodation. The cost of accommodation in boarding houses is about $3 a day per person, and for $10 you can rent a separate room with a bathroom. Copyright www.orangesmile.com

8. In local restaurants and cafes, it is customary to leave tips, which make up 10 - 15% of the total bill. However, it is worth noting that tips should only be left in prestigious restaurants. In simpler places, it is not necessary to pay for the service.

9. Those who're planning to use the taxi services should negotiate fares in advance. Drivers are usually tipped only if they help carry the luggage or provide some extra assistance.
