Belmopan - Post Report Question and Answers

Do you have any other comments?

All in all this is a great post. There are many hardships associates with schooling, medical care, but the benefits associated with the local activities, morale at post, the well kept housing compound and the weather make this a post to strongly consider. - Feb 2019


Belmopan is the smallest national capital in the world. At 10,000 people, it's really a small town. There are only a few foreign embassies (several haven't yet moved from the former capital, Belize City), and only a few foreign companies. The expat community is small, but active. Belmopan is absolutely without sophisticated dining and entertainment, and indeed, the few modest local restaurants get old fast. If pizza will suffice for your dining-out experiences, then you'll do ok. The local beer is great and is always served ice cold. If your expectations are modest, then you can have a good time in Belmopan. Otherwise, the departure lounge at the airport is likely to be your favorite local hangout. - Jan 2011
