Exchanging Currency in Honduras

US dollars are easily exchanged for Lempiras in banks, major hotels, airports and exchange houses. Most honduran banks are open on weekdays only from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Exchange houses are open longer and offer quicker service (and usually a better exchange rate) than banks.
