The city once known for shipbuilding and struggle is now one of the most popular places in Europe for a short break. Since 2001, encouraged by the numbers of tourists arriving on cheap flights to Belfast, the city council designated several cultural quarters that shine a light on the different parts of this fascinating city’s past.
The Cathedral Quarter is centred around St Anne’s Church. With several arts and culture-based organisations, it also has fashionable warehouse restaurants and cozy pubs. The Gaeltacht Quarter is located around the Falls Road in West Belfast and promotes and encourages the use of the Irish language.
The Queen’s Quarter in South Belfast is named after Queen’s University, a lively student district with museums, galleries, bars and cafes. The Titanic Quarter is named for the ill-fated ship that was built there. Lying on reclamed land beside Belfast Harbour, it is dominated by the cranes – Samson and Goliath – of Harland and Wolff. Tours of the area will take tourists back to the glory days of shipbuilding.
After sightseeing sink a pint in the luscious 19th-century gin palace, the Crown Liquor Saloon on Great Victoria Street.
