What it's like

Fort Street Tourism Village is an open-air market village in Belize City.

A visit is an easy walk through several courtyards and along a boardwalk of jewelry and gift shops. Duty-free stores sell local goods, and snack bars and restaurants are close by. Live local music often plays here. The village is open only on days when a cruise ship is in town, so check the day before you go.

Good to know

The village is open only on days when a cruise ship is in town, so it is not open every day.
Stay in groups, and carry your passport, bottled water and sunscreen.
The Belize Tourism Board runs an information desk in the main concourse of both cruise ports.
