The 5 Best Things to Do in Belize City, Belize
Located on the east coast of Belize at the mouth of the Belize River, Belize City sits on a peninsula jutting into the Caribbean Sea. As the nation's main port, the city is a hub for cruise ships and is often a jumping-off spot for excursions to other parts of Belize, including the Cayo District's caves and Maya archaeological sites along the Macal and Belize rivers. Belize City boasts the only manual swing bridge in the world and the oldest Anglican cathedral in Central America.
Restaurants in Belize City
1. Altun Ha & The Olde Belize River
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 324 reviews
Reviewed By pfefmeister - Petaluma, California
Belize City is a dumpy town, and you have two choices - take a water taxi to a nearby island or go to the Mayan ruins of Altus Ha. With limited time, we chose the ruins. We hired a local driver for two people for $70 (round trip). Admission is $5 per person. It takes about an hour to wander around and climb the structures. We listened in on one of the guides with a large group. Mildly interesting, but not awe inspiring. Maybe we should have taken the water taxi to the Islands instead, but the weather was not conducive for a beach day.

Couldn't leave Belize City without visiting the museum. It was a nice brief history including the slavery trade and not so bright beginnings of Belize's history. Authentic and nice venue, since the bldg was once a jail! Was worth the price.

We ordered our tickets online and requested a cab pick us up at the airport. It all went perfectly. The driver was waiting for us when we arrived at the airport. "Wallace" drove us to the ferry and arranged with us to pick us up when we returned for our drive back to the airport. Awesome service!

This is a quite area with nice views of the sea and a close by light house. Also there is a small park in the area where you can stroll around and/or have coffee at the Petit Cafe at the Fort Radisson close by.

Very practical to travel between Belize City and the Cays. To go to San Pedro we didn´t have to book on advance, just arrived an hour before the departure and bought the tickets in that moment. Round trip has a discount. Well organized the lugagge Delivery. Very punctual. Excelent service.
