Worth knowing about Belize City
- Belize City's international airport is not in the city: it sits in Ladyville, roughly 10 miles from downtown.
- The airport's published operating hours are 06:00 to 18:00 daily, with service outside those hours only on request.
- The airport states in its own FAQ that it offers free wireless internet to passengers, and taxicabs wait outside the terminal only during normal operating hours.
- A second, domestic-only airport - Sir Barry Bowen Municipal (TZA) - sits about a mile from the city centre and handles the short hops to the cayes, so a domestic flight may leave from a different airport than the one you landed at.
- Belize City has no metro and no operating railway; proposed rail lines to Belmopan and Orange Walk Town are still only at feasibility-study stage.
