kg4pit Posted March 22, 2016 #1 Share Posted March 22, 2016 DH and I are looking at excursions for our cruise...is Belize a place that you can just walk around if you can't find an excursion that interests you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted March 22, 2016 #2 Share Posted March 22, 2016 No. Not Really. Belize City is more of a working city than a tourist city. You can walk around a bit but there's not a heck of a lot to walk to. If you go over the swing bridge, to your left out of th eport complex, you can walk down one of th estreets Regents or Alberts to the old Anglican Church and the Cultural museum in the old Governors Mansion, visible from port. Maybe stop at Brodie's department store. If you turn right out of the cruise port complex you can walk along the promenade to the light house and eventually come around to the National Museum, which you can also get to by turning right at the swing bridge instead of left to downtown. There are a few good local restaurants in the area, Bird's Isle, Nerie's , Annie's Lunchbox around the swing bridge and the Smokey Mermaid near the lighthouse and the cruise port. A small local craft's market is across from the cruise port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrate13 Posted March 22, 2016 #3 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Crewsweeper pretty much nailed it. There will be posters that will tell you it is too dangerous but I think some people see the bogeyman around every corner. We find the people to be quite friendly.

Rare crewsweeper Posted March 22, 2016 #4 Share Posted March 22, 2016 And let me add. I've walked around to all the places mentioned in my post more than once with no issues. This past January, when we exited the cruise port to meet our excursion driver, we were met only by excursion vendors holding signs for their excursion meet ups. No hawkers. And returning from Nerie's we saw no hawkers outside the other terminal gate, but it was later in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
