1 Altun Ha Maya Ruins Altun Ha Maya Ruins Belize City An ancient Maya ceremonial and trading center about 50 km (30 miles) north of Belize City, Altun Ha's plazas are dominated by the stepped stone pyramid known as the Temple of the Sun God (Structure B-4). Archaeologists recovered a carved jade head here — reported at the time as the largest carved jade object found at a Maya site — during a 1968 excavation. The site is compact enough to explore in an hour or two and remains one of the most-visited Maya ruins in Belize. 2 Museum of Belize Museum of Belize Belize City Housed in a former colonial-era prison in downtown Belize City, the Museum of Belize traces the country's history from the ancient Maya through the colonial period to independence in 1981. Exhibits include Maya jade and pottery, colonial-era artifacts, and a display on Belize's postal and stamp history. The building itself, with its original cell blocks still visible, is part of the exhibit. 3 St. John's Cathedral St. John's Cathedral Belize City Built by enslaved and free laborers between 1812 and 1820, St. John's Cathedral is described as the oldest Anglican church in Central America and among the oldest buildings still in use in Belize City. Its red-brick walls were made from bricks originally used as ballast on British ships. Miskito kings were crowned in the church in the 19th century, a rare piece of Central American royal history. 4 Swing Bridge Swing Bridge Belize City A hand-cranked steel swing bridge spanning Haulover Creek in the heart of Belize City, connecting the city's north and south sides. Installed in 1923 and still manually operated to let boat traffic through, it's believed to be one of the few surviving manually-swung bridges of its kind still in daily use anywhere in the world, and remains a working landmark rather than a museum piece. 5 Community Baboon Sanctuary Community Baboon Sanctuary Belize City A grassroots conservation area near Bermudian Landing, about an hour from Belize City, where local landowners voluntarily protect forest habitat for Belize's black howler monkeys — locally nicknamed 'baboons' despite not being baboons at all. Established in 1985, it was one of the first community-led wildlife sanctuaries of its kind in Central America, and its howler monkey population has grown substantially since.

Know Before You Go — Belize City

It's a cruise port, not a beach resort

Most cruise ships calling on Belize anchor offshore from Belize City, tendering passengers in — the city itself is a transit and excursion hub rather than a beach destination, with the reef and cayes reached by a separate boat trip.

Altun Ha is the signature day trip

About 50 km (30 miles) north of the city, Altun Ha is the most-visited Maya ruin reachable from Belize City, small enough to explore in a couple of hours and often paired with cave tubing or a wildlife stop.

Cave tubing is Belize's classic adventure activity

Floating on an inner tube through an underground river cave, most often at the Nohoch Che'en Caves Branch reserve, is one of the most-booked activities out of Belize City for a reason — it's genuinely unique to this part of the world.

Weather runs hot and humid most of the year

Belize City sits near sea level in the tropics — expect heat and humidity year-round, with a rainier season roughly June through November and hurricane risk during the same stretch.

Water taxis connect to the cayes

Belize City's water taxi terminals are the main way to reach Ambergris Caye (San Pedro) and Caye Caulker, a common add-on for travelers splitting time between the mainland and the islands.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Belize City

About 50 km (30 miles), roughly an hour's drive each way by private vehicle.
Like any working port city, some areas are best avoided after dark or without a guide — sticking to the tourist-frequented downtown core and traveling with a private driver, as Voyzo's private tours do, avoids most of the everyday risk.
Most visitors use it as a one- or two-day base for day trips — to Altun Ha, cave tubing, or a water taxi over to the cayes — rather than a multi-day stay in the city itself.
Yes — many visitors split their Belize trip between a couple of days based in or near Belize City for mainland day trips, then a water taxi out to the islands.

About Belize City

Belize City is a working port town, not a resort — colonial-era wooden buildings on stilts, a hand-cranked swing bridge over Haulover Creek, and a genuinely lived-in downtown that most visitors pass through on their way to the reef or the jungle rather than lingering in for long. It served as the country's capital until Hurricane Hattie devastated it in 1961, prompting the government to build inland Belmopan as the new capital — Belize City remains the country's largest city and its commercial and cruise-port hub even without the title.

Voyzo's private tours in Belize City are driver-led day trips — a private vehicle and guide for your own group to reach the Altun Ha Maya ruins, Belize's signature cave-tubing routes, and the Community Baboon Sanctuary, all without sharing a shuttle bus schedule with strangers.
