Belfast Better believe it. So much to see and do! elfast is a buzzing, vibrant metropolis, offering music, craic, culture and cuisine to satisfy the most discerning tourist. Today Belfast is a modern, thriving city. The changing destiny of the city can best be seen in the rejuvenated cobbled lanes and Victorian warehouses of Belfast’s old Cathedral Quarter. Today it’s the vibrant artistic heart of the city, promoting concerts and festivals, while the Queen’s Quarter - huddled round the Victorian splendor of Queen’s University - is adorned with the Botanic Gardens. The Queen’s Quarter is also a haven for designer label shopping, arts center and galleries, plus a dizzying nightlife, whilst throughout the city you will find restaurants to suit all tastes. The handsome Belfast City Hall, which commemorates events from the Titanic to the Great War, stands at the center of the city. Amongst the classy restaurants and clubs nearby you’ll find the absorbing Linen Hall Library, established in 1788 ‘to improve the mind and excite a spirit general inquiry’. B Belfast boasts one of the great inns of the world - the glorious Crown Liquor Saloon, Great Victoria Street, with swing doors, wooden floors and etched windows. The gem of Victorian splendor is still a vital part of Belfast’s everyday life. For traditional Belfast cuisine, site in one of the snugs and tuck into sausages and champ (creamy mashed potatoes and spring onions) washed down with a pint of Guinness. The Custom House, a Corinthian style construction in High Street, is usually considered the city’s finest public building, while the Grand Opera House, built in the 1890s, is worth a visit either to catch a show, or marvel at the building’s ebullient exterior. Belfast today is a lively, fun packed city with ample opportunity to sample fine cuisine, friendly pubs, galleries, theatres and concert halls; such as the Waterfront Hall, one of Europe’s premier concert and conference venues, situated on the booming Lagan waterfront.
