Belmopan is the capital of Belize, built inland after Hurricane Hattie destroyed Belize City in 1961. The city's layout is orderly, with government buildings, embassies, and residential areas arranged around a central plaza. Visitors can explore the National Assembly building, the Belize Archives, and the bustling market where locals sell produce and crafts. The city has a relaxed vibe, with wide streets and green spaces. It offers a contrast to the coastal towns, showcasing Belize's modern side.
