Safety, Belize

Displayed:   times.

There is crime in Belize City, but it rarely involves visitors. Tourist police patrol Fort George and other areas where visitors convene. If you avoid walking around at night (except in well-lit parts of the Fort George area), you should have no problems. Stay away from any kind of illegal drugs - it just isn't worth it. As with any location in the world, it is best to use common sense when moving about at night. Travel with friends and if you have far to walk, take a taxi. In other words, use the same common sense you would at home.

Outside of Belize City, you'll find Belize perfectly safe and friendly. Most communities are closely knit and live together peacefully. Although it is always best to be cautious, problems rarely arise.
