Belfast is a port city with open people, colorful streets and live music. Here, a walk is the best way to feel the character of the region.
The Heart of the North: Belfast route starts on a hill near Belfast Castle overlooking the bay, leads to the harsh walls of Crumlin Road Prison and the tranquil beauty of St Anne's Cathedral. The Albert Memorial Clock and the smiling Big Fish await on the Lagan River, followed by Titanic Belfast, where the shipwrights story comes to life in interactive halls. Relax with a cup at Paper Cup, then head to St. George's Market for local cheeses and pastries. The city center will be greeted by the majestic Town Hall and the cozy Linen-Hall Library; the finale will be the greenery of the Botanical Gardens and the expositions of the Ulster Museum, or an evening at the Lyric Theater.
Interesting fact: the name Belfast comes from the Irish and means “mouth of Farset”. And it was here in the shipyards that the Titanic was born — a symbol of the city's ambition and skill. Grab comfortable shoes — this route is really exciting.
