Things to Do in Belfast

Belfast is home to the Titanic Museum, built on the exact slipway where the RMS Titanic was constructed in 1911 by Harland and Wolff shipyard.

The city's street art scene, particularly in the Republican and Loyalist communities, tells the story of Belfast's complex history through murals that have become major tourist attractions.

Belfast is the birthplace of the McFlurry, invented at a McDonald's franchise here in 1999 before becoming a global menu item.

The city was the industrial powerhouse of Ireland during the Victorian era, famous for shipbuilding, rope-making, and engineering before the decline of traditional industries.

Belfast sits on the River Lagan and is surrounded by hills, including Cave Hill to the north, which inspired Jonathan Swift's depiction of Gulliver's travels.

The Botanic Gardens, opened in 1828, features one of the oldest intact Victorian glasshouses in the world, the Palm House.
