Belize City is the hub of transportation, commerce and culture.
The Museum of Belize, The Bliss Institute and The House of Culture all showcase stunning ancient artifacts and historical memorabilia. The latter is housed in a 19th century building and was once the residence of colonial governors. St Johns Cathedral is the oldest Anglican cathedral in Central America. For local art , visit The Image Factory.
Watch sailboats rock gently near the hand cranked swing Bridge. On the outskirts of Belize city see tableaus of Maya sites, rainforest, waterfalls, caves and industry at Old Belize. For a short excursion, get close to jaguars and other native species at the Belize zoo, or climb a 60 ft temple of the sun God at Altun Ha.
Offshore take a boat to St Georges or Goff’s caye for snorkeling and manatee spotting. There are 2 airports Belize Municipal located downtown Belize and Philip Goldson International Airport located 12 miles out of the city.
