Belize City Things To Do

10 Places To Visit In Belize City

Belize can be found resting peacefully between Guatemala and Mexico and is a one-stop destination for the intrepid traveler who wants to experience Caribbean culture in its entirety. Although many tourists do not stay in Belize City( the old capital of the country), there are many beautiful attractions nearby to explore.

The largest city in the country and the former capital, Belize City is not most visitors' first destination. Although flights and cruise ships regularly bring visitors to Belize City, most tourists immediately depart for other destinations. Considering that Belize's main attractions are its lovely nature and beautiful offshore islands, it makes sense that visitors aren't overly interested in the country's largest urban area.

Making things worse is Belize City's reputation as a haven for crime, violence, and gangland shootings. Even people who love this gorgeous country admit that Belize City is often the national black eye, inflating crime statistics that skew just how peaceful and relaxed the rest of the country really is.

That being said, it's important to remember that tourism is a major industry in Belize, so the government ensures that the areas of Belize City most frequented by visitors are safe, well-patrolled, and free from major crimes. In particular, the area around the Fort Street Tourism Village, the municipal airport, and the historic downtown area where the water taxi docks, the St. John Anglican Cathedral, and the Museum of Belize are all located is safe for visitors.

Although many first-time visitors avoid Belize City, there's plenty of raffish charm to this urban center. As the long-time capital of the colony and then independent nation, Belize City has a lot of history. And the colorful characters that make up Belize's melting pot society all call Belize City home, especially the Creole. Yes, there are some areas with ramshackle housing and slow-moving canals, but Belize City also has stately colonial-era homes, lively shopping districts, beachfront amusement parks, and a flotilla of graceful sailboats.

To begin your explorations of Belize City, start with Haulover Creek, the main waterway that splits the city roughly in two. Heading towards the coast, you'll soon find the historic center when you reach the Swing Bridge. From there, you can go northeast to visit the Museum of Belize, the Fort Street Tourism Village, the beautiful BTL Memorial Park, and the Baron Bliss lighthouse dedicated to Belize's greatest benefactor.

Heading south from the Swing Bridge, visitors can tour the St. John Anglican Cathedral, the only Anglican church outside of England that was used to crown a king. You can also visit the Government House. Once the principal administration building, it is now partly a museum and partly still used for administration purposes. There are fine hotels and restaurants to be found on both sides of the bridge, so feel free to explore this magnificent urban area in Belize.

Here are the top things to see and do in and around Belize City:

The Belize Zoo

 

Belize Zoo

- The Belize Zoo was initially intended for animals which were injured or donated to the facility and could not be returned to the wild.

Museum of Belize

Belize City

Belize City is the largest city in Belize and was once the capital of the former British Honduras. According to the 2010 census, Belize City has a population of 57,169 people in 16,162 households. It is at the mouth of the Haulover Creek, which is a distributary of the Belize River. The Belize River empties into the Caribbean Sea five miles from Belize City on the Philip Goldson Highway on the coast of the Caribbean. The city is the country's principal port and its financial and industrial hub. Cruise ships drop anchor outside the port and are tendered by local citizens. The city was almost entirely destroyed in 1961 when Hurricane Hattie swept ashore on October 31. It was the capital of British Honduras (as Belize was then named) until the government was moved to the new capital of Belmopan in 1970.

About Belize

About Belize

Belize formerly known as British Honduras, is a Caribbean country located on the northeastern coast of Central America. Belize is bordered on the northwest by Mexico, on the east by the Caribbean Sea, and on the south and west by Guatemala. It has an area of 22,970 square kilometres (8,867 sq mi) and a population of 408,487 (2019). Its mainland is about 290 km (180 mi) long and 110 km (68 mi) wide. It has the lowest population and population density in Central America.The country's population growth rate of 1.87% per year (2018 estimate) is the second highest in the region and one of the highest in the Western Hemisphere.

The Maya Civilization spread into the area of Belize between 1500 B.C. and A.D. 300 and flourished until about 1200.European contact began in 1502 when Christopher Columbus sailed along the Gulf of Honduras. European exploration was begun by English settlers in 1638. This period was also marked by Spain and Britain both laying claim to the land until Britain defeated the Spanish in the Battle of St. George's Caye (1798).It became a British colony in 1840, known as British Honduras, and a Crown colony in 1862. Independence was achieved from the United Kingdom on 21 September 1981.

Belize has a diverse society that is composed of many cultures and languages that reflect its rich history. English is the official language of Belize, while Belizean Creole is the most widely spoken national language, being the native language of over a third of the population. Over half the population is multilingual, with Spanish being the second most common spoken language. It is known for its September Celebrations, its extensive barrier reef coral reefs, and punta music.

Belize's abundance of terrestrial and marine species and its diversity of ecosystems give it a key place in the globally significant Mesoamerican Biological Corridor. It is considered a Central American and Caribbean nation with strong ties to both the American and Caribbean regions. It is a member of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), and the Central American Integration System (SICA), the only country to hold full membership in all three regional organizations. Belize is the only continental Central American country which is a Commonwealth realm, with Queen Elizabeth II as its monarch and head of state, represented by a Governor General (currently, His Excellence Sir Colville Young).

Belize Languages

English is the official language of Belize. This stems from the country being a former British colony. Belize is the only country in Central America with English as the official language. Also, English is the primary language of public education, government and most media outlets. About half of Belizeans regardless of ethnicity speak a mostly English-based creole called Belize Creole (or Kriol in Belize Creole). Although English is widely used, Kriol is spoken in all situations whether informal, formal, social or interethnic dialogue, even in meetings of the House of Representatives.

When a Creole language exists alongside its lexifier language, as is the case in Belize, a continuum forms between the Creole and the lexifier language. It is therefore difficult to substantiate or differentiate the number of Belize Creole speakers compared to English speakers. Kriol might best be described as the lingua franca of the nation.

Approximately 50% of Belizeans self-identify as Mestizo, Latino, or Hispanic and 30% speak Spanish as a native language.When Belize was a British colony, Spanish was banned in schools but today it is widely taught as a second language. "Kitchen Spanish" is an intermediate form of Spanish mixed with Belize Creole, spoken in the northern towns such as Corozal and San Pedro
