Gateway to Paradise
Belize City is built on the site of an ancient Mayan settlement called Holzuz and acts as a gateway to the country both by sea and air thanks to its busy port and international airport.
The city blends old with new perfectly as the Tourism Village and Image Factory modern art gallery stand alongside St John's Cathedral , the oldest Anglican Cathedral in Central America, and the Museum of Belize which houses a fascinating array of Mayan and colonial artefacts.
