Frequently asked questions
About Belize City
Belize City, the largest city in Belize, is located on the eastern coast of Central America. The official currency used in Belize City is the Belize Dollar. The city is known for its mix of cultures, including Creole, Garifuna, Mestizo, Maya, and more, which is reflected in its vibrant food, music, and art scene. Visitors can explore historic sites like the Belize Museum and St. John's Cathedral, or enjoy outdoor activities such as snorkeling in the Belize Barrier Reef.
When to visit
The best time to visit Belize City is during the dry season, which runs from late November to mid-April. This period offers sunny days and comfortable temperatures, perfect for exploring the city and enjoying outdoor activities. The wet season, from June to November, brings heavy rainfall and the possibility of hurricanes, so it's best to avoid visiting during this time.
Getting around
Getting around Belize City is relatively easy, with options like taxis, buses, and water taxis available for transportation. Taxis are a convenient way to travel within the city, while buses are a more budget-friendly option for longer distances. Water taxis are a fun and scenic way to reach nearby islands like Caye Caulker and Ambergris Caye.
Traveller tips
When visiting Belize City, be sure to pack insect repellent to protect against mosquitoes and other bugs. It's also recommended to drink bottled water to avoid any potential stomach issues. Respect the local culture by dressing modestly when visiting religious sites or interacting with locals. Bargaining is common in markets, so don't be afraid to negotiate prices. Lastly, be prepared for the heat and humidity by wearing light, breathable clothing and staying hydrated.
