    Just one of a "modest stature" is how I would describe this brick cathedral (with not two but just one tower and no high & wide front facade or such) but which yet is a charming one which I would say is also in part due to its "nice & neat" grounds (mainly a small lawn but also like a mini-garden with a pathway along the edge which goes all the way around the Cathedral). And yes, after the walk around the building & taking a peek inside from the entrance was just heading back out due to the admission (which I never had to pay on my cathedral visits except at some big cathedrals with museums & such inside which I'm quite sure is not the case inside this one).

    And actually just across the street from one side of this cathedral is the Government House which is a 2-storied beautiful heritage building with a spacious front lawn & a not-too-high lovely fence (but closed to public at the time due to some renovation or such going on). And also nearby, at just about a 5-minute walk from this cathedral (by heading back along the street between this cathedral & the Government House in the direction of downtown but a right turn shortly after leaving) is the waterfront area like a "long promenade" from which there's a view of both the Creek & the sea beyond (from near one end of the promenade).

    It is a nice peaceful location. It's a nice monument. It's free to visit. The area is easy to access.

    This cemetery is considered 'full'. It is located between two busy streets, close to the Old Anglican Church. There are no trees or other shade, so a visit in daytime will be hot! Not sure whether a visit at other hours would be considered 'safe'.

    I didn't want to go here because I heard a lot of stories about going in city but we tried it and survived. Area is very small and not much to see. It was amazing though to see how they set everything up differently. If you want to see it and not afraid of the city's stories then go see.

    Although it memorializes Belize's independence from British Honduras, it is one of the least noteworthy monuments I have seen in most countries. We passed by it on our 1.5 hour horse and buggy tour of the city and had the driver not pointed it out and given us its history we probably wouldn't even have photographed it! Oh well, this is Belize after all and as our guide explained, they view themselves as a third world country.

    This is were you buy your watch. They have a very large section of Brands and styles for everyone. Prices for starters at $500 to the O My God prices. This is where I have have upgraded my brands.

    Wow, so happy they have opened a store in the Cayo Welcome Center, San Ignacio. Prior to moving to Belize, I would stock up at the airport to take goodies home to try. As a foodie, I love to cook and they have the most amazing selection of spices and blends. Excellent for those of us who live here and convenient for travels to take home the taste of the Caribbean. Try one, try them all, you won't be disappointed! Right across from the San Ignacio Market.

    We’ve traveled to Belize several times and have used all the big car rental names… this was our first time trying Car One and we’ll never go back to Avis, Budget or National. First of all our flight was delayed by nearly 3 hours but Diana at Car One stayed after hours to make sure we got our vehicle. Her customer service was outstanding and gave us some great local advice about Belize City and travel to Placencia. The Jeep Patriot worked great for our 3 week trip… no problems or issues. I would highly recommend Car One for anyone renting a car in Belize… they have the best prices and can’t say enough good things about the staff (particularly Diana).

    It is a quaint spot, and right in the "safe area" of downtown Belize. Worth going and buying if you appreciate locally made goods. Brought some home for souvenirs and friends loved it; try the unique flavors!
