How to get to Belize?

Several airlines offer regular flights to Belize City, the main city in Belize, from major cities like Paris. However, there are no direct flights from Europe; most airlines offer a stopover in North America (New York, Miami, Atlanta, or Toronto).

When to visit Belize?

With its tropical climate, Belize enjoys pleasant temperatures year-round, making it an ideal destination to visit at any time.

Belize experiences a dry season from November to May, characterized by sunny days and little rain. The rainy season, from June to October, brings heavy rains and hurricane risks. In the inland areas, the air can be stifling. On the cayes, however, a tropical breeze makes the atmosphere more breathable.

How to get around in Belize?

There are several modes of transport to get around the country.

The bus network in Belize is well-developed and provides an affordable way to travel between cities and villages. Public buses also connect major tourist destinations, offering an economical option for travelers.

Taxis are available in cities and tourist areas, but they can be relatively expensive. It is recommended to negotiate the price with the driver before departing.

For travelers who wish to explore Belize independently, renting a car is a good option. Major car rental agencies are present in the main cities and at the Belize City International Airport.

In some areas, such as Caye Caulker and Ambergris Caye, cycling is a popular and eco-friendly mode of transport that allows you to explore the island at a much slower pace.

Where to stay in Belize?

Belize offers a wide range of accommodation options, from luxury beachfront hotels to eco-lodges in the heart of nature. You can also choose vacation rentals, bed & breakfasts, or campgrounds for a more authentic experience. Coastal regions like Ambergris Caye and Placencia are popular for their beautiful beaches and water activities, while the inland areas provide opportunities for jungle adventures and wildlife encounters. Whether you’re looking for relaxation by the sea or an immersive nature experience, Belize has something to suit every type of traveler.

What budget to expect for a trip to Belize?

The budget for a trip to Belize can vary based on factors like the length of stay, type of accommodation, planned activities, and travel style.

Accommodation in Belize offers a wide range of options, with prices typically ranging from 30 to 150 USD per night, depending on the type of lodging chosen.

If you opt for local restaurants and street food, meals are relatively affordable. Expect to spend around 5 to 20 USD per meal, depending on the location and type of cuisine.

Activities in Belize, such as diving, hiking, visiting archaeological sites, and boat excursions, can vary in price based on the service, season, and location.
