I was warned Belize City can be dangerous, particularly at night. This may well be the case if you venture in some parts of the city in the shanytowns. I went out only once in then night, with one of the local colleagues of my company. We headed for Freetown Rd and managed to isit a couple of clubs without any trouble whatsoever, although I was impressed by the amount of people drunk.
Apparently Belize City is plagued by drugs and local police do little or nothing to stamp down. Although the tropical climate can be a bit suffocating, I enjoyed the 2 days I spent there. Since I was there on business, I had a chance to meet quite a few local people. In frankness, I never felt 100% relaxed, and always felt a bit uneasy.
Concerning food, I went in the area around King Street and had chinese, caribbean and mexican food.
All together, although Belize City did not prove to be as terrible as I thought, this is not the kind of place I would spend too mcuh time on my holidays.
