Belfast Day Trip

The city centre of Belfast, with its numerous elegant Victorian buildings, has seen economic improvement in the greater prosperity of the shopping streets leading northwards from the hub of Belfast life, Donegall Square. Today the city and its river front are being transformed and much of the central area is now pleasantly pedestrianized. Take time to shop around in the city streets or in one of the new shopping malls. Relax in the food court area of the Castlecourt Shopping Centre or wander around the 82 stores which sell everything from fashion to chocolates and all kinds of goods including watches, shoes and accessories.

Or explore the old quarters of the city and discover the eccentric little alleyways with quaint old names and the narrow, twisting, cobbled streets full of some of the most quirky, historic and attractive buildings. In the Titanic Quarter take a journey through the history of shipbuilding in Belfast and visit the birth place of the ill-fated Titanic. In the Gaeltacht Quarter the ancient culture of the Celts is nurtured and cherished as a living heritage.

Whether you prefer shopping or visiting historic places Belfast, with its many and varied attractions, is a place for getting out and about.
