Most visits to Belize are trouble-free. However, you should take the usual precautions against muggings, be on your guard and exercise caution, as there have been occasional violent incidents against tourists. You should also avoid certain areas of Belize City, including George Street and Kraal Road, where gang violence including gun crime is on the increase, especially at night.

There is a low threat from terrorism. But you should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate terrorist attacks, which could be in public areas, including those frequented by expatriates and foreign nationals.

You should take out comprehensive travel and medical insurance before travelling. See General - Insurance. See General -Insurance.
