Welcome to Belfast — the capital of Northern Ireland and the city where the legendary Titanic was designed and built. It was here at the beginning of the twentieth century that Harland & Wolff, the world's largest shipbuilding shipyard, worked, and its yellow Samson and Goliath cranes still form the recognizable silhouette of the city.
Belfast is a city of engineers, shipbuilders and inventors that has grown from an industrial giant to the modern cultural capital of the North.
Today you will see:
Titanic Belfast is an ultra-modern museum on the site where the most famous liner in history was launched.
The W5 Interactive Science Centre is one of the UK's best interactive museums with experiments, space zones and the technologies of the future.
The Big Fish is a mosaic sculpture that tells the story of Belfast from the Vikings to the 21st century.
A little fact that not everyone knows
It was in Belfast that the key scenes of the Game of Thrones series were filmed, and the former Harland & Wolff shipyards have today been transformed into a creative quarter with museums, restaurants and art spaces.
Have a nice walk through Belfast and bright discoveries 🚢
