All About Belize City
Belize, a country the size of Massachusetts, offers amazing variety within its borders. The only English-speaking country in Central America, Belize has retained vestiges of its past as a British-colonial outpost. Most historic sites can be found in Belize City, the cultural and business center of the country.
All Belize City vacations should include visits to the very British St. John's Cathedral, as well as the Government House, a prime example of colonial architecture from the early 1800s. Old Belize, an adventure park and museum, is another Belize City highlight. The park includes displays on Belize's native Maya people, rainforests, and reef systems, in addition to offering zip-lining and water-sliding.
Belize City is a convenient base for fascinating daytrips to nearby areas. Many Belize City vacation packages offer visits to the Mayan ruins of Altun Ha and Lamanai, jungle tours, and caving adventures. Other outings are oriented to Belize's Caribbean treasure, its large and vibrant coral reef, where you can snorkel, scuba dive, and fish.
While in Belize City, don't miss the chance to sample fresh seafood, Belize's famous hot sauces, and a good swig of Belizean rum.
