Things to do in Belfast
The first thing you should know about Belfast is that it is divided into quarters: City Centre, Cathedral Quarter, Titanic Quarter, Linen Quarter, Queen's Quarter and Gaeltacht Quarter. This makes it much easier when it comes to finding tourist attractions and accommodations in the city.
A good tip to get to know the city's sights is to hire a “Black Taxi”, a specialized transport that tells the historical context of each place that passes.
The oldest part of Belfast is in the Cathedral Quarter. Here it is possible to appreciate the beautiful Cathedral of St. Anne and enjoy the pubs, nightclubs and hotels in the area. The Titanic Quarter region is one of the main areas of the city, as the Titanic Museum, SS Nomadic and HMS Caroline are arranged there for public enjoyment. It's worth the visit!
Another must-see is the St. George, situated in the Market Quarter and built from 1890 to 1896, was named the UK's best indoor market in 2014 by the National Association of British Market Authorities. In addition, Belfast City Hall, dating from 1906 in the Linen Quarter region, is also an attraction for architecture lovers, as is the Botanical Gardens in the Queen's Quarter.
