Belfast City Center: City Hall, Cathedral Quarter & Titanic Quarter
Belfast, Ireland
About This Activity
Belfast’s city center is easily covered on foot — start at the Renaissance-style City Hall (free guided tours available), walk north through the Cathedral Quarter’s Victorian streets and murals to St Anne’s Cathedral, then continue east to the Titanic Quarter waterfront. The MAC arts center, Grand Opera House, and Victoria Square shopping center fill in the gaps. Allow half a day for a thorough self-guided circuit.
Seasonal note: Best Apr–Sep; open year-round
