Yes, but not as bad as some other posts. - Oct 2019
Yes. - Jul 2018
Yes. It's very hilly, with poorly-maintained and oft-interrupted sidewalks. In fact, pedestrians in general take like fourth fiddle, even though most Hondurans don't have cars. Tegucigalpa is very much planned for the convenience of motorists, and even when it's not, motorists will take the liberty to park on sidewalks, to drive recklessly, and to bend traffic rules to save a few seconds of waiting. - May 2018

Well, the grocery stores and malls I've seen seemed handicap-accessible but I can't say much more. Sidewalks can be bad but you're really not supposed to be walking anyway. - Nov 2009
You drive everywhere, so as long as you are able to do that, you should be okay. The malls and many of the larger shopping areas have ramps and elevators. Small restaurants and small shops won't exactly be ADA compliant. - Oct 2009
