About Belize City

Although a relatively small city with a population of about 80,000, Belize City offers guests an interesting stay. The capital city enchants visitors with its ruggedly beautiful landscape and laid-back Caribbean lifestyle. Belize is home to the only manually operated swing bridge in the world. Daily, a dozen or so men turn the bridge enough to allow large boats to pass. The bridge serves as the central navigational landmark in the city. Historic stops of interest include the Baron Bliss Lighthouse, which features the tomb of one-time patron Baron Bliss of Portugal, St. John's Cathedral, the Coastal Zone Museum, and the Maritime Museum. Bird watching at the Monkey Bay Wildlife Sanctuary, crocodile tours at the Bermudian Landing's Community Baboon Sanctuary, or a visit to the Belize Zoo should appeal to animal and nature lovers. The Image Factory, a local art gallery, draws art aficionados interested in viewing the best artwork of Belize natives. Shoppers can wander through the National Handicraft Centre and peruse the many handmade crafts created by local artisans, and the Belize Commercial Center offers excellent Creole and Latin American foods as well as fresh fruits and vegetables. The area offers several restaurants, from Chinese to Italian, but guests should definitely stop by a renowned favorite, JB's Watering Hole, even if just to tip back a bottle of Belize's national beer, Belikin. The city is also a gateway to other interesting Belize endeavors: the famous Blue Hole (a popular scuba diving spot), the lovely Cayes coral reefs, and the Mayan ruins, Altun Ha, located about 31 miles north of the city.

Did you know?

Belize's subtropical climate can most accurately be described as "paradise." Thanks to cooling trade winds, the temperature in Belize rarely tops 90 degrees even during the hottest summer months. During rare winter storms temperatures only drop as low as the low 60s. The average water temperature is between 79 degrees and 83 degrees. Perfect!
