Belmopan - Post Report Question and Answers
Is this a good city for single people? For couples? For families? Why or why not?
Not great for single people as there are only a limited number of venues one can frequent. but not terrible as everyone is included in all activities. - Feb 2019
This is a good city for introverts and people who can make their own fun. There is really almost nothing going on in Belmopan so extroverts may suffer from a lack of social interaction. There are a very few okay restaurants in town. Pretty much the only activity you can count on is grocery shopping. There is a nice, small expat community who you should definitely befriend. From my observation, anyone can have a great time here but it is easiest for families with small children. We say we are 90 minutes from paradise! - Jun 2015
It's a very small town. Single people could easily get bored unless they make an effort to do a lot of exploring and diving. I imagine the bar scene would probably be rather dangerous. Families and couples would have to be creative as well. - Jun 2015
There really isn't much to do in tiny Belmopan, so making your own entertainment is essential, whatever your family status. Socializing within the small expat community and with Belizeans is prevalent and easy. Belizeans are naturally friendly, and there is little, if any, hostility to foreigners. - Jan 2011
