Belfast Things To Do

St. George’s Market
There has been a Friday market here since 1604. The present incarnation was built between 1890 and 1896 and is one of the most popular markets in the UK. After a £4.5m refurbishment in 1997, this charming Victorian building was voted one of the top 5 UK markets in 2006.

As well as being home to some of the finest fresh produce – with customers travelling from far and wide to sample the delights of the Friday and Saturday markets – it has quickly become one of the City’s most desired attractions. An amazing retail experience, the 248 market stalls sell everything from Atlantic Shark and zips to fresh fruit and collectable old antiques. The fish section – with 23 stalls – is widely regarded as the leading fish market in Ireland. A visit here should be top of your ‘things to do’ list.

The Titanic Quarter
A city break in Belfast is not complete without a visit to the birthplace of the world’s most famous ship. Covering 75 hectares of reclaimed land adjacent to Belfast harbour, the popular Titanic Quarter was formerly known as Queen’s Island. Titanic was built here in 1912, and work has recently begun to transform the former shipyard into one of the largest waterfront developments in Europe including new apartments, a riverside entertainment district, and a major Titanic-themed museum.

Giants Causeway
Just over an hour outside Belfast, discover one of the planet’s most spectacular sights. The Causeway became widely known as the ‘Eighth Wonder of the World’ from the 1700s when large numbers of visitors descended on the northern coast to view this amazing array of 40,000 basalt columns.

Dining in Belfast
In recent years, a handful of talented young chefs and restaurateurs have breathed fresh life into the city’s cuisine scene to create a unique Belfast style. Their influence has spread, raising levels of expectation and competition to create a landscape of restaurants and cafes from Michelin Star excellence and cosy neighbourhood brassieres to authentic Asian cuisine and traditional Irish pub grub.

Belfast Safaris
Enjoy a sightseeing tour that highlights the city’s rich culture and history. Visitors can experience lesser known sites and folklore from knowledgeable and enthusiastic local people. Discover the ‘real Belfast’, a perfect city break activity.
