Why should I visit Belfast?

Traditionally, Belfast was split between two distinct vibrant cultural communities, simply described as Catholic and Protestant - both of which have made their own contributions to the city's culture. With the segregation between both groups a thing of the past, Belfast has become Northern Ireland’s vibrant, fun and friendly capital.

Home to many galleries, opera houses, museums and movie theatres as well as a great nightlife scene, Belfast is a wonderfully cultural place to explore. Check out Titanic Belfast for an immersive historical experience or HMS Caroline for a piece of WW1 maritime history. For delicious food, visit St George’s Market, one of the city’s oldest attractions and a great place to try first-class local fare.
