Belmopan is the capital city of Belize. It is a new city created after the 1961 hurricane destroyed much of Belize City, which is built on low-lying land on the coast.Geographically it makes a lot of sense. It is in a safe area in the centre of the country with lots of available land. However it lacks many of the character element of an exciting capital city. Tourist do not come here much and even many of the civil servants who work here actually commute from Belize City or San Ignacio. However the people are friendly and its safe to walk around at night.
