shopping

[gramgill]

we are visiting here for the first time next month and wasnt planning to doing a tour but would like to have a stroll round the shops, can anyone tell me is the town centre close to the port ie walking distance or is there somewhere close to the port for shopping

There are lots of shops in a large, new tourist shopping mall right at the area where cruise ship tenders dock. We also found a tourist info desk and quite a few independent tour operators offering tours. Of course, if you choose to go with an independent tour, go early in the day to allow ample time to return to the ship.

 

We were advised "Do NOT walk to town". However, it is just a short cab ride from where the tenders dock. We snorkeled in the AM and shopped at the port mall -- sorry I have no first hand info on Belize City.
