In Cathedral Quarter, the most historic area of the city, you can visit Belfast’s own leaning clock tower, the opulent Merchant Hotel, and the Big Fish sculpture. Just a short walk away in the City Center, mix with the locals at St. George’s market, admire the opulent Victoriian City Hall, and then have a pint at the atmospheric Crown Bar. Head off to Queen’s Quarter for a compelling mix of traditional and contemporary artistic and cultural life, with museums, a dynamic arts scene, and the Botanic Gardens.

Many buildings throughout the city bear remembrance to the great ship. From the Titanic memorial outsidef Belfast City Hall to the very slipways on which the Titanic was built, soon to be immortalized in the Titanic Quarter, visitors can still explore the ship’s legacy throughout Belfast.
