If you hit only one sight in Tegus, head here. The capital's finest museum is housed in an expertly renovated 19th-century edifice, the former Palace of Ministries. It provides a superb, comprehensive overview of the nation's history and identity through a series of modern exhibits. Displays are in Spanish, but free guided tours in English are given four times a day. The masterstroke is a 3D-film tour of the Copán ruins (L35), shown four times per day.
