Q: What are the top tourist attractions in Belize City?

Museum of Belize : Step inside the former colonial prison to see Maya artefacts, insects, and archival photos. Walk the cell blocks and spot old graffiti on the walls. St. John’s Cathedral : Visit the brick church built with ballast from British ships. Notice carved mahogany pews and the quiet cemetery next door. Haulover Creek Swing Bridge : Watch crews manually swing the bridge that links both sides of downtown. Photograph fishing skiffs and pelicans as the channel opens. Baron Bliss Lighthouse and Belize Sign : Walk out to the white lighthouse at Fort George and the colourful sign by the sea. Feel the trade winds and look toward the reef on clear days. Battlefield Park and Albert Street : Sit under shade trees in the city’s central park, then wander along Albert Street for snacks and shopfronts. Spot wooden colonial houses amid the bustle.

Is Belize City walkable?

Accepted Answer

The Fort George and downtown areas are walkable for the Swing Bridge, Museum of Belize, and Baron Bliss Lighthouse, though heat and traffic can slow the pace.

For farther places, Belize Express Water Taxi and Ocean Ferry Belize run to Caye Caulker and San Pedro. Buses from Novelo’s Terminal head up the Northern Highway toward Altun Ha, and the George Price Highway leads to the Belize Zoo.

For comfort or day trips to Altun Ha or the Belize Zoo, consider a private tour in Belize City with private transportation.
