Parque Central, Copán Ruinas
Parque Central de Copán Ruinas
The central square of the colonial-style town, surrounded by cobbled streets, with a church, cafés, craft shops and restaurants.
The central square is the heart of Copán Ruinas. Around it are colonial-style buildings with white walls and red-tile roofs, the town hall and the Catholic church, and locals gather here to cool off in the evenings. The cobbled streets sloping away from the square are lined with cafés, craft shops, travel agencies and restaurants, where you can try baleada, a Honduran flatbread, and local coffee. The square is open all day and free to enter, and the regional archaeology museum is nearby. It is safer to stay on the main streets at night and avoid isolated areas.
