Antes de ir: consejos para Belize City
Transporte
- Take a water taxi to the cayes: Boats leave from terminals near the Swing Bridge for Caye Caulker and San Pedro on Ambergris Caye; arrive early to get seats on busy days.
- Use green-plate taxis: Licensed taxis in Belize carry green number plates; agree the fare first, especially from Philip Goldson International Airport into town.
- Ride the old school buses: Converted US school buses run from the main terminal by the Collet Canal to Belmopan, San Ignacio, Orange Walk and the south cheaply.
Seguridad
- Take a taxi after dark: Some neighbourhoods have serious crime, so avoid walking at night outside the Fort George area and get your hotel or restaurant to call a taxi.
- Stay in the Fort George district: This waterfront area near the lighthouse and water taxi terminals is the most tourist-friendly part of the city and has tourism police.
- Brush off street hustlers: Men offering unsolicited tours, directions or help with bags near the terminals often expect payment; a firm, polite no works best.
Ahorro
- Know the Belize dollar peg: Two Belize dollars equal one US dollar and both are accepted, so check which currency a price is in and expect change in local dollars.
- Eat rice and beans: Lunch spots serve stew chicken with rice and beans, a filling, inexpensive plate that is the national staple; add Marie Sharp's hot sauce.
- Ride buses, not shuttles: Public buses to San Ignacio or Belmopan cost a fraction of private transfers and pass through the countryside and villages.
Clima y ropa
- Dress for heat and humidity: Belize City is hot year-round, so wear light, breathable clothes, a hat and reef-safe sunscreen, especially for boat trips.
- Know the hurricane season: June to November is the rainy and hurricane season; check forecasts, travel insurance and the National Emergency Management Organization alerts.
- Pack insect repellent: Mosquitoes and sandflies are common near the coast and mangroves, especially at dawn and dusk, so bring a strong repellent and light long sleeves.
Cultura
- Listen for Kriol: English is the official language, but Belizean Kriol is spoken on the streets; locals appreciate patience and a friendly greeting before business.
- Breakfast on fry jacks: Try these puffy fried dough pieces with beans, eggs and cheese, and taste conch fritters or hudut, a Garifuna fish and plantain dish.
- Visit St John's Cathedral: Built in the early 1800s, it is among the oldest Anglican churches in Central America and a quiet stop on a walk through the old town.
Trucos locales
- Use the city as a base for day trips: Altun Ha ruins, the Belize Zoo and the Community Baboon Sanctuary are reachable on a day trip from Belize City.
- Visit the Museum of Belize: Housed in the old colonial jail, it covers Maya artefacts and city history; good air-conditioned shelter during the midday heat.
- Catch September Celebrations: St George's Caye Day on 10 September and Independence Day on 21 September bring parades, music and street food to the city.
