Belfast, Northern Ireland’s capital and home of the ill-fated RMS Titanic, was once a major shipbuilding hub. A specific generation may associate Belfast with war. But such judgments are outdated now.
Belfast, like the rest of Northern Ireland, has seen a tremendous development in recent decades thanks to the peace process and power-sharing governance. Year after year, visitors grow for a good cause. Expect a warm welcome, caustic wit, and a fascinating history.
A visit to the Titanic Quarter and other sites related to the doomed ship is a must. Victoria and Donegal Squares provide excellent shopping and eating options. Discover the city’s magnificent Victorian architecture, including the famed Albert Memorial Clock in Queen’s Square, and its many notable museums.
