Tour of Downtown Belize City

[@davidbarnard1126]

I was there in 1984 and it was definitely one of the best postings I had - must say it now looks much more prosperous and has certainly built up a lot since then.

[@Barbilee24]

this was 5 years ago now in 2015 all the parks and most of streets have been renovated but the paradise is in Cayo,Toledo and the cayes. Belize is very a beautiful and independent country.

Ms. Moses. I think it looks awesome. Very much like Playa de carmen. These are areas of the city I enjoy the most. The people,culture,music and food bring the best memory's. I will love visiting your city I'm sure. Maybe you can show me around.lol

[@Andreezy13]

I recently went on a cruise and one of the ports was Belize City. I loved it. The people were so welcoming. People tend to think that just because a place doesn't have tall buildings or perfectly paved streets that it is "ugly". The beauty is in nature and the people. I'm from Honduras, so I'm used to seeing cities like that. But a white person who has never left the suburbs doesn't know how to appreciate simple beauty.

[@riparianlife97701]

I was just there. The worst threat is to the shocks and struts of your car. Get just outside the city, and there are several different types of beautiful forest, clear rivers, amazing pyramids, and kind, gentle people. I'd rather be in Belize City than any big American city.

[@riparianlife97701]

Kalika Putra North of Seattle, Washington in the US. I enjoyed Belize a lot. I spent most of my time in San Pedro, but spent a day with a guide at Xunantunich. I went there with my best friend, who died suddenly a couple months ago. He was looking forward to retiring there.

[@1996Olympian]

I was born and raised (my early yrs) in Belize City. This video doesn't do justice for the beautiful places Belize has to offer...white sand beaches & turquoise ocean on San Pedro & Caye Caulker; Belmopan, Corozal Town, Placentia, etc. video shows a ride through a small part of Belize City. Please don't negatively judge Belize and it's warm, hardworking, mannerly people based on this video. There's much more to it than this. It's like only seeing parts of dwtn L.A. and saying California is bad.

[@DreadMighty]

+Althea Moses its looked nice to me. America is pretty bad in terms of streets and infrastucture so regardless to the pretty stores, this video tour made me very interested in visiting!

Rome was not built in a day and nation building is still going on in Belize. As I a person of Belizean heritage, I want the Guatemalans making inapproriate comments here to understand that their attempt at besmearing Belize will not work. I am proud of my Belizean heritage and I know the best is yet to come. God Bless Belize and her people...

I believe that Belize filled in for the mythical West African nation of Zangaro and Belize City portrayed the capital Clarence in the 1980 Christopher Walken mercenary movie, 'The Dogs Of War'. Looking at this vid, seems little has changed in those 36 years.

No kevlar needed. As with any foreign country always walk with a purpose, like you know exactly where you are and where you are going. Don't ask for directions on the street.(ask in a shop, store, bank,etc.) I've had nothing but good and enjoyable times diving in Belize.

[@michaelbrant1668]

I spent six months in belize, it was great, Belize city was always exciting, I believe it’s a dangerous place now with gangs and drugs, what a pity.

[@richardburns6305]

Has anyone noticed that this video is 7 years old. Sorry, but a lot has changed in Belize in the last 7 years. We love our country and Belizeans are not looking to climb over any fences , dig tunnels, hide in the middle of cargo or swim across alligator infested rivers to come to America.

[@jaylu1997]

A lot in term of infrastructure has change over the past 3 years under Mayor. Bradley....... certain parts however are pretty much the same

Its the first time ever ive seen what this amazing country looks like, i was intrigued by the fact that i was completely ignorant of its existence ( im ashamed of that). Im also from america( i mean the continent not the united states) and i suddenly realized that i dont even know the names of the countries in it... I wish i could meet belizean people someday.

Belize is a beautiful country, I'm from the Bahamas but my wife is from Belize City. I enjoy it very much when we visit. Every country has great and horrible parts to them, Belize and Bahamas are no exceptions. Americans and Europeans are ignorant about other countries, period.

[@richardburns6305]

The problem with this kind of video and the opinions of such persons is that they go the the worst part of Belize City, which is the south side and conclude the entire Belize City look like a ghetto. The Belize metropolitan area is almost 9 square miles and the south side is less than 2 square miles. They should cross over the old swing bridge, which by the way is a historic bridge, and drive north along the Caribbean Ocean. They would be very surprise of the difference, how nice it is. Also, many people especially tourist are not aware that Ambergris Caye is also part of the Belize District, and it is very nice there. I would think that for a nation less than 40 years old and with a national debt of less than 2 billion dollars , lots of natural resources the future looks promising for us. Why else would thousands of people call Belize their new home every year ?

Whilst Belize retains the death penalty for murder and military offences, it is considered to be a de facto abolitionist state, as it has not carried out an execution since 1985.

[@chukrub]

I've lived in Belize my entire life and I have not once been mugged or experience anything bad. I just have to add that not the entire country is like Belize City, it may seem dangerous and prob is but outside of there everything is quaint and peachy. And for all those tourists that ONLY TOURED the City. Don't judge the entire country solely on your visit to Belize City.

[@Vvven01]

Continue to promote the Spanish in Belize let the eyes to dilute it, it's pretty good for you and it's very nice to the Spanish and Hispanics in the world, you would have a lot trade with Spain and Latin America, Equatorial Guinea if this occurs isThey would open the doors to many things, because among family we make better

No tengo el gusto de conocer Belice, pero el video me brinda un rápido vistazo de una ciudad linda, por su arquitectura. ¿Que Belice es un país pobre, encajado y aislado entre dos países pobres y tercermundistas? ¿Y cuál país latinoamericano y cuál isla caribeña que se digne de ser libre no lo es y lo seguirá siendo, mientras la humanidad siga sufriendo el arbitrio de los europeos y los estadounidenses?

[@jonidebra]

Belize is a poor country that is blessed by mother nature and you will meet some of the most nicest and mannered people there. At least We Belizean knows whats important... Being a good person and enjoying life. We love our Country if you dont then thats tooo bad.. Your lost.

mubery tipico de paises caribeños pero estoy seguro que debe haber zonas turisticas mas bonitas.

[@turkeysandwich3466]

It's funny how a video depicts things. Looks like a scary place to be. But get out of the car, walk, talk to the nationals. If there is one place where "beauty lies within" it's this place. The people are amazing, the food is outside of the American world. No one will understand how good the food is without tasting. Makes you not want to live in America. All American food tastes like you're eating cancer after Belize. Never met friendlier people or a better environment in my life. Hoping to retire here and trying my damndest. When I got back, my life was actually changed. Can't explain it, but my entire outlook on life is different. Everyone should experience Belize. And not just a resort, go to San Pedro, go to Belize city, go to Belmopan, and for sure go into the jungle (cayo)💪. Watch for jaguars and viper snakes.

As a native Belizean I wish someone in authority would train these so called "tour guides". The driver of this van obviously doesn't even have a clue about what he is talking about. I apologise to the tourists he has in his van. Belizeans are not all illiterate idiots like this driver portrays. As to the condition of our city back then,well thats a reflection of how our leaders view us....like thrash. Note to tourists: please don't jump into the cheapest ride for a tour of Belize,because thats what you will get...the cheapest tour

[@MagalyEsmeraldaMancia]

You sound like mister patrick farbers

[@milascave2]

True. Belize city was always much sketchyer than the rest of the country, and from what I gather it has gotten worse, thanks to the importation of the American culture of guns, gangs, and crack. In any case, there isn't thay much to see there. aside from the swing bridge. It looks lot like a larger Version of one of Belizes small towns. One does not go there to see a city, One goes to see the countryside, with it's beautiful nature, and it's (mostly) wonderful people.
