Though some of Belize's most-intriguing historic sites are outside the city, like the Altun Ha Mayan Ruins, almost 50 kilometers north, there's plenty of heritage to discover downtown, too. The Museum of Belize is a great place to start, with historic artifacts housed in an old prison that dates back to 1857. Old Belize combines history with amusement on its grounds, where you can join tours to learn about Belize's past and people at a museum, before relaxing on a sandy beach with a water slide, swing and other family-friendly fun.
With so many waterways to explore around Belize City, getting out on the waves is a must during your stay in this lively Central American destination. Snorkeling and diving excursions to explore the vibrant barrier reefs and islands in the surrounding Caribbean Sea are easy to come by, and a number of tour providers also offer inland experiences to rivers and caves, where you can try out tubing and rafting in a scenic jungle environment. The city also has water taxi services that run out to nearby islands with sandy beaches, like Caye Caulker and San Pedro.
Warm winter days in Belize City invite visitors to get out on the water for thrilling boat rides, or head off to nearby island beaches for relaxing days on the sand. The Central American country has a tropical climate, so winter highs average in the 80s, and lows in the 70s, perfect for spending all day outside in shorts and flip flops. December through April is the dry season, so sun-seekers don't have to worry about too many pesky storms moving through. These ideal winter days also draw more crowds, though, so be sure to book your Belize City vacation rental in plenty of time to snag your preferred dates.
With so much incredible nature to discover beneath the waters around Belize City, it's easy to forget about the green jungles and forests inland, where all sorts of interesting wildlife can be found. Just a few miles northwest of Belize City, Crooked Tree Wildlife Sanctuary is a wetland paradise, filled with swamps, creeks and lagoons, and is considered one of the top birding sites in the country. Along the nature trails here, you might encounter native species like yellow-headed parrots, black howler monkeys and the Central American river turtle. With more than 16,000 acres to explore, you'll be glad your cozy Belize City vacation rental is just a short drive away.
