What comes to mind when someone mentions their Belize vacation? We’ll bet they regale you with an untold numbers of photos that showcase the nation’s riches: Sugar white beaches. Turquoise seas. And endless snaps of sightseeing and aquatic adventures that make Belize unique, including around 900 ancient Maya ruins, and jungles that teem with wildlife.
If those photos don’t include artsy shots of waterfalls, sunsets, and small villages filled with colorful galleries, boutiques, and pubs, the picture taker was probably on a very short holiday. But there’s another side to Belize that folks who are curious about the nation’s urban scene are discovering every day. They’re going to the nation’s former capital, Belize City, where ocean liner passengers, and people who want more from a vacation than palm trees and beaches, find a vibrant epicenter of commerce, attractions, and cultural spots–a city with a distinct vibe you’ll want to check out.
