    Belize City, Belize

    Belize

    Formerly British Honduras, Belize adjoins Guatemala and Mexico on the Yucatan Peninsula.

    Surrounded on three sides by water, Belize City is a tightly-packed jumble of narrow streets and canals. The area was originally settled by the Mayan people and in the 1600s it was a famous pirate base, before the British arrived and built up Belize City as a centre for the logging industry. Timber was floated downstream to the city where it was sawn and loaded on to ships.
    Old Belize is a living museum which recreates the history of the country, with exhibits ranging from a Mayan cave to a logging camp. There’s a beach as well, with a café and a restaurant. The Museum of Belize is in the former prison and has a fine collection of archeological finds, as well as historical documents, photographs, currency and postage stamps. There’s even a former prison cell.
