Belize City
@anniekatt
A vibrant coastal city that is a mix of Caribbean laid-backness and colonial architecture. Check out the colourful houses and bustling markets.
Belize City is a good base if you want to explore Mayan ruins (which are in the mainland) or diving adventures (out in the Caribbean sea).

Best travel periods for different experiences
DRY SEASON (November to April)
Dry season is the peak travel period in Belize, with warm temperatures (24-29°C), lower humidity and clear skies. This is perfect for beach days, snorkelling, diving and taking part in cultural events like Garifuna Settlement Day in November and the increasingly popular Lobster Fest in July.
Hotels and tours are more expensive, especially over the Christmas and Easter breaks. If travelling during this time, plan ahead and book your flights, hotels and tours in advance as they tend to sell out very quickly.
