Need to know

Buzzing and industrious, Belfast is the cosmopolitan heart of Northern Ireland. Rising from the ashes of ‘the Troubles’ of the early nineties and benefitting from financial investment after the ceasefire, Belfast is now a cultural hub brimming with ornate architecture and intrigue.

Ireland’s rich history is showcased best in its museums and art galleries. The birthplace of the Titanic, visit the Titanic Belfast in the city’s Titanic Quarter to explore the story of the great ship in an immersive, interactive experience. Heading into the city, the beautiful renaissance-style City Hall is located in the heart of Belfast and is filled with portraits dating back to the 1800’s. The Titanic Memorial Gardens, located within City Hall’s grounds are a great spot for a picnic or a quick, relaxing break from sightseeing. The Ulster Museum is roughly a 20 minute stroll from here, filled with great artefacts from Ireland’s past, as well as some European relics dating back to the Iron Age. Those interested in the social struggles and history of the Troubles should visit the walls along Falls Road and Shankill Road. Now covered in colourful, political street art with religious overtones, the peace gates once separated the surrounding Catholic and Protestant communities.

The market has been open since 1604 and is a popular place to shop, eat and see live music. Belfast is also well known for its nightlife and traditional pubs.
