Belfast

General information and travel tips


Lying between the mountains and the shores of Belfast Lough, the capital of Northern Ireland combines fine Victorian architecture, a fascinating industrial heritage, beautiful scenic surroundings - and high hopes for the future. Belfast is a Janus-faced city, shaped by both Irish Catholic and Scots/English Protestant heritages and situated on the cultural and political interface between Ireland and Britain. Its history is punctuated with civil unrest, great poverty, revolutionary fervour, several industrial world records and, in spite of everything, an enduring spirit of optimism and renewal.
