Tourist Village & Brown Sugar Mall

Belize City


This waterfront complex exists for the convenience of cruise-ship passengers, who disembark here on their land trips. Non-cruise tourists may enter from the street with a temporary pass, obtainable on presentation of an identity document. Most of the shops are liquor stores and international jewelers, but there is at least one excellent art gallery and an outlet selling fine carved jade.
