Opening hours Belize

To see / To do Belize

Most tourist sites are open Monday to Sunday from 8.30am to 5pm, often closing earlier on Sundays.

Depending on the season, the majority of museums in Belize open between 8 and 10 am, and some stay open until 7 or 8 pm. Before your visit, we strongly advise you to check the official website for opening hours. Monday is often a day when most museums are closed. On the first and last Sundays of each month, a number of museums and art galleries offer free admission. If you want to go without breaking the bank, visit the official website to find out when admission is free. Bear in mind that some days can be very busy. Students, children, the elderly and the disabled often benefit from reduced-price admission.

Enjoying yourself Belize

In Belize, we often get up early and start the day with a hearty breakfast, often savory. Lunch is often taken between 1 and 2 pm, and dinner is often early, although restaurants often close their kitchens before 10 pm. Outside tourist areas, it's hard to find a restaurant open on Sundays.

Take a break Belize

From 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., or even 6 p.m., most establishments frequented by tourists offer a happy hour during which local drinks are served to two for the price of one. Outside tourist areas, it will be difficult to find a bar open on Sundays. Generally speaking, local bars close fairly early every day.

(To) please yourself Belize

Most stores in Belize are open from 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday and from 9am to 12pm on Saturdays. However, in tourist areas, some stores may have longer opening hours. On Sundays, most stores are closed, with the exception of Ambergris Caye and Caye Caulker.

Get out Belize

If you're looking to party, you'll find plenty in San Pedro, Caye Caulker, Placencia or even Belize City, but there aren't many discos outside the tourist areas or the capital. They open around 10 a.m. and generally close around 3 a.m., or even later on weekends.
