Cheap Flights To Belize City

Located at the tip of Haulover Creek and the largest city in Belize, Belize City is a cosmopolitan metropolis and a favourite destination for those who seek sunshine holidays combined with a packed itinerary of interesting attractions. Founded in 1638 and originally named Belize Town, the region was established by British lumber farmers who settled in the area. Around the same period, the British also brought thousands of African slaves to work on the lumber farms. British courts were still present in the area up until the 1970s.

The region enjoys a tropical monsoon climate, with warm and humid temperatures throughout the year. Not only does the region boast a wealth of attractions in its own right but the surrounding area also offers a selection of historical and cultural attractions in addition to national parks. Altun Ha is one of the area's most visited architectural sites and features a Mayan temple. Belize City is also renowned for its charming festivals and age-old celebrations. Visit in July when the Benque Viejo del Carmen Fiesta Local fair is hosted. The festival is in honour of city's patron saint and onlookers are treated to cultural shows, live music, competitions and parades. The event spans nine days.
