What it's like

Government House was the residence of the British Governor General, the official who ruled the colony from Belize City. Today the building is a House of Culture, open to visitors who want to see how the colonial government lived and worked.

A visit is a quiet stop in the old colonial core. The house was converted into a historical museum with exhibits of colonial glassware, silverware and furniture.

Good to know

Keep to groups, and carry your passport, bottled water and sunscreen when out in the city.
The Commercial District and Fort George District are safe during the day, and most sights are there.
