It is certainly the most memorable place I have visited in my life. They have everything very well set, like good Irish they control the detail wherever you look. I would surely return with my children and family. I send my most sincere congratulations to everyone who makes this possible. price-quality ratio = excellent. very friendly staff.

100% a must see, came to Belfast with this experience specifically in mind and I wasn't disappointed. Booked in advance which I felt was wise. Took a good couple of hours, it was quite busy at midday and you did have to linger a bit to see the displays around people but didn't seem to spoil it at all. They've very cleverly split the exhibition into mind edible parts, with gaps for a bit of mental digestion. Which is needed when you remember it's a true event! Theres plenty of interactive, hands on displays with easy to read info. I feel it's worth a little queue to ride in the cars and experience things from a workers perspective. All quite emotional really. I didn't sample the cafes which were there but they were busy so that's normally a good sign. Great for disabled persons too, lifts for easy access. staff were all jolly and helpful, always happy to help.

What a great museum! We bought the early bird tickets, thank goodness! Had plenty of room on a rainy morning to explore and listen to the audio we purchased, definitely recommend getting the self guided tour! Then got coffees and went through the gift shop.

As museums go one of if not the Best we've been to. Informative and interesting crucially interactive too,cable car ride,lift to gantry,steeped in history of the area too. Recommend this for everyone visiting Belfast,perhaps except very small children. Easily 5*****

I went on a driving tour throughout the island and this was by far my favorite place to visit. If you're a history buff and are fascinated by the Titanic, you absolutely have to come here. From start to finish the experience is breathtaking. There's something for everyone to take away from visiting. Maybe you'll even catch a double rainbow like I did 🌈

One of my favourite places to visit. I absolutely love titanic Belfast. There is so much history and the experience teaches you all about the Titanic is lots of different ways using lots of different mediums. The whole thing is engaging from beginning to end. You can see what a room would look like. You can take a look at how the ship was painstakingly constructed and you can understand the political climate of the time. Those who’s lives were lost are respected and remember in the exhibition and I would recommend this to anyone In Belfast.

If you're going to visit this place make sure to watch the movie the night before. You need the movie fresh in your mind so that all the pieces of the puzzle are at your footsteps and at your fingertips. So fortunately. We got to watch the movie. Then from the time we went it in it was amazing. This is a must visit for all people fascinated by history, journalism, film, photography, costume makers and corporate managers. Did I mention health and safety Personnel. Titanic was not just a movie but a reality for the people who lived on this side of the world. In manufacturing. Meticulous record keeping. It totally shows the role played by workers and their need to remain diligent at times when at work. Titanic is a historic masterpiece that got to inform on the health and safety measures and has led to the betterment of regulation. This place is family friendly by the way so once your kids comprehend the movie take them there. In one word "amazing"

Great and beautiful unique architecture . Museum is worth a visit and all aspects are covered . Specifically the shipyard ride gives great experience about story of Titanic. Restaurant inside is bit expensive and with limited options with parking for 2 hours 4 pounds. Overall great experience.. for 2 adult tickets 43 pounds...

This is a fabulous experience. Between the walking tour and the interactive experience within the building you learn so much. Huge amount of historical detail from the creation of the ship up until it's discovery. Very respectful to the ones who didn't survive. If in Belfast definitely visit. On a separate note Terry Bradley's Art Exhibition on in the Titanic Centre at present is not to be missed...

What an amazing place to visit. To see all this on the actual site the ships were built was quite a somber experience. When we got here we had not booked any tickets and all The signage outside was saying book online only, we tried to do this without any success at all. So we walked in and was able to book a ticket and do the tour there and then. The staff are all really friendly and helpful. All ways makes the experience more pleasant. The building is stunning and the layout is really well thought out and planned. I won’t talk about what we watched, Saw and experienced as I think it’s something you just just go and explore yourself but I will say we walked out thinking how amazing the experience was. If you visit Belfast this in my opinion is a must.

One of the best museums I’ve been to, with excellent displays and audio guide. You will need to book online in advance but when we went in December it was quiet so could book on our phone just outside to go in straight away. There are plenty of interactive items and the final room is incredibly emotional. A must see and if you time it right at sunset the building lights up to provide some stunning photographs!

Really engaging museum with lots of interaction and fascinating facts about the area, industrial history, local people and, of course, RMS Titanic. The building itself is worth the trip alone - it brings together the elements of the museum's attractions so beautifully. Keep looking around at the attention to detail and you won't be disappointed. The Nomadic is worth the 2 minute walk for a look inside too.

The earlier part of it is very Boring with the statistics of the boat and engine , but you can skip till the shipyards and directly dive into the real part - The History of what exactly happened on that night which is intensely interspersed with vivid Audio visual details during the tour. The tickets are around 25 pounds pp (9-5 pm ) It will keep your eyes moist thru the rest of the tour. Every bit of it will stay with you for years. Thank You.

Wow!!! So much to learn and see! Can't wait to come back. Couldn't see everything in 3 hours. Need a good 4-5 to see most of it. Fabulous gift shop, great atmosphere and interactive walking tour. Just stunning!

I have mixed feelings about this Museum. First, I recommend the early bird special for £19.95. Hardly anyone was there. The presentation of everything was incredible. The concepts behind the layout and progression of the tour are very well thought-out and impactful. However, it felt like it was lacking something tangible. There were immersive videos and a ride displaying the building processes and interior, but very by way of little tangible, physical artifacts from the ship. I guess I was expecting more of that. (The floor displaying elements of the ship’s interior was tangible replicas and very interesting.) Most everything else was screens and reading. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed the history, and stories of the ship’s passengers were very touching. The ride explaining the ship building process was very interesting. And at that early hour, we walked right on. All in all, the museum design is incredible, but I would love to see more physical artifacts.

We stayed there for around 4 hours as it is a huge museum. I did not expect that to be this big, but I knew a lot more about belfast and the titanic. The restaurants inside are quite good and the price for the tickets to the museum inside was okay. This museum, for me, is the best for adults or teenagers if they also like history or museums. But not really for kids since they will probably find it boring. The museum is detailed, and the team has really put effort into making good and fun to explore.

I have visited other Titanic museums, I must say that this is THE museum to see. If you appreciate history take at least three hours to see it at leisure. Made in such a way as not to bore you, with videos, photos, interactive tables, replicas of the cabins, etc. The settings make for a dynamic and changing visit. Probably indicated more for an adult audience, you will not be disappointed.

What a fantastic experience. This has to be one of the best museums I have ever been to. The immersive ride experience was amazing. All the information and exhibits were great. It was great learning about the back story of Belfast before the titanic story. The way the museum is laid out is also good, it flows very well. The only thing I was a little disappointed with was the prices in the cafe. We were staying close to the museum so we went back at night and it looked even better at night.

At the city centre in Belfast, enjoy the trip for about two hrs touring. The car park is at the facility at a reasonable price. There is a gift shop w some variety of souvenirs. Worth the visit to understand the history of tragic that shook the world.

There are many Titanic tourist traps in major cities across the globe, but Titanic Belfast is the most authentic and surreal experience you will ever have. It is a very busy place all times of day so be prepared to travel amongst a timed group, but you can spend as much time as you’d like reading everything and taking in all of the presentations and exhibits. As many reviews have described many have a very emotional experience towards the end. Even if you are not a Titanic fan or follower, you will probably thoroughly enjoy this museum.

Great stay in the Titanic Hotel last night. Food amazing as always and the staff so friendly and attentive. We had a late lunch ahead of our gig in the sse arena to see Simple Minds. I had a couple of cocktails Jack And Rose with a side Car and Fools Gold totally worth the money. Will definitely be back ❤️

This museum was far more moving than I had anticipated. It coves a lot of the history of Belfast leading up to the construction of the Titanic. I found it very informative and interesting. I highly recommended taking the time and visiting this museum.

Totally worth the price. It was amazing experience to me emotionally. I could feel the entire story of titanic in 3 hours. It is a self guided tour but you will get auditory aids to listen more closely. You can experience an indoor ride where they explain the evolution of titanic. A must seen place in Northern Ireland

Very fascinating history with well thought out exhibits and a very helpful and informative audio guide to take you through. It was quite busy when we were there and as a result of that found that people were shoving past to keep moving, particularly at some of the exhibit entrances that were quite narrow. Overall, I really enjoyed this visit and would recommend visiting if you are in Belfast.

Went for the Magical Christmas Experience. It was magical and amazing. My wee boy loved it. The woman who was the Chief Elf was amazing. My son is autistic and was scared to see Santa, she talked him through it and managed to get him to go meet Santa, which he ended up loving. Santa was brilliant too, took the time to talk to my son, put him at ease & was just really patient. We also went for the festive Afternoon Tea. It was brilliant. Food was great, the room was lovely. The live music was a nice touch. And of course the staircase was amazing. The staff were lovely and attentive.

I did not know what to expect, but what a great memorial this is. The guided tour was informative and not too far to walk so good for anyone, the guide was great, then we went to the discovery exhibition itself - To begin with it was 'OK' lots of information but spread out with no real flow to which bit you should look at first, some great interactive bits and so much information to take in! Then around half way round, maybe because of my particular interest, this turned from an OK exhibition to WOW, The care and attention to detail that has been put into every single part of the exhibits blew me away! Thank you Titanic Belfast (but please please get some quality merchandise in the gift shop, we genuinely struggled to spend the £20 voucher that we had!!)

Very interesting to just wander round this old jail that was still in use up to the mid 1980's. The tour can be done at your leisure as there is no tour guide to rush you round from A to B. I gave this 4 stars as some of the interactive videos were not working. Technical glitches can happen. That aside there is plenty of interesting facts to learn along the tour which took us about 2 hours comfortably to complete. Downstairs there is the Cuffs bar and restaurant where you can dine in on pub grub or main meals and have soft drinks, alcohol or tea and coffee. Restaurant prices are decent and won't cost too much. The tour price is very reasonable also. Make sure and pick up your map and wristband when you arrive. Parking is signposted and is accessible at the rear of the gaol.

Beautiful and eerie gaol. Though I feel that it's quite a short tour. I was hoping to get further inside the tunnel or on the upper levels of the prison.  Some of the wings were closed for some reason when we visited too. It is a self-guided tour so you can explore at your own pace.  Parking is free and very spacious. This museum is still worth the visit. I found it very interesting and interactive. They are offering a paranormal investigation tour as well as an event if you're into those.

Very informative, and information isn't biased. Can be slightly boring as most of your time is spent watching long videos in various rooms without seats. It is not appropriate or entertaining for children. Gives a great feel for the jail and conditions inside, and the staff are all super friendly and helpful. A lot of the experience is spent waiting for the gates to open to the next part of the jail, which was quite frustrating, especially since there were no seats in the waiting areas. It can be very busy and rooms can be crowded so make sure you know how busy it will be when you go.

We went to a Gaol and saw prison cells witch used to have real prisoners! We even saw a police helicopter outside! We went in a tunnel to the court building! It was very cool to see everything! I had a good experience.

I visited this monument because I was interested in the history. I WAS SO DISAPPOINTED BY THIS VISIT. It was honestly a huge waste of time and money. There were so many things wrong, I will quickly list them here: 1. The cafe in the middle of the exhibit (between the tunnel and the atrium) blasting John Mayer 2. The grammatical errors in the information panels INCLUDING THE NAME OF THE PRISON (I don’t think anyone proofread, nor has had the initiative to fix them) 3. The fact that there is absolutely no real interest in preserving the site or the objects. There is “please do not touch” in small print at the bottom of the info cards, but that’s all. In the cell where there is graffiti, there are at least 100 inscriptions from 2023 and 2024. If there was any real worry about preserving this place, there would have been plexiglass or something to keep visitors from doing this after the first incident 4. Some recordings in the cells are so loud that you can’t even hear the recording of the cell you’re in. 5. The display cases in the first room of the visit are literally the most pathetic display cases I have ever seen in a museum where the entry costs almost £15 Honestly, this was one of the worst historical sites/exhibits I have ever visited and I would strongly recommend you save your £14.50 and go to the Ulster Museum

The history of the jail was very very interesting. And I did appreciate the extensive amount of information available. However, I have a few issues... 1) there was disruptive construction work taking place while we were there. If you take into consideration that most of the jails information is available via videos (which don't even have subtitles) you would miss large portions of information. I wouldn't have had such an issue with this if the tickets were subsidised, they should close the attraction if such work is taking place. 2) a lot of the videos are quite long (this isn't an issue, they're very entertaining and informative), I just think it'd be beneficial if there were small seating areas in the cells so you can fully enjoy the videos. I know seating is available in some rooms but even just a bench on the sides of the cells would be appreciated. 3) there was a lot of litter around the attraction. Discarded crisp packets, access bands etc. This may have been from people who came in before us but I just wanted to note in case it's a lack of preservation for cleanliness in the jail. 4) I think it would also be cool to have some of the cells on other floors open too. As you're really confined to the ground floor which seems a shame.. Also, I think it would be nice to see some of the cells just as they are (without videos, and how it would have actually be for the prisoners - minus any mannequins). It would also be nice if there was more to see in the circle room too as I feel there's not much in there and it's such a waste when it's such a spectacular feature of the jail. 5) i was disappointed that there wasn't staff in the jail to ask any further questions. There was also just a general lack of staff, we could hAve just walked in without paying and seen it all as nobody checked tickets or were on hand for anything. The only people working we did see were the construction workers. In conclusion, I would recommend the jail. It just has a lot of flaws that I feel should be addressed, it is good for the history but if you want to ask further questions or want to be immersed you will not have that experience.

The website recommended the self guided tour would take 60 to 90 minutes. We were there for 3 hours and would have been there longer if the art show hadn't been packing away! We really enjoyed everything about the tour. We hired audio guides but we didn't really need them. There are videos all the way around and lots of information but they gave our 7 and 8 year olds something to play with which they loved. The ear phones are way too big for a child but they put the guides on loud speaker at opportune moments. Some of the rooms are quite gruesome especially the hanging room so you might consider where is appropriate to take children. Our favourite room was the one explaining a potted history of the troubles with cartoons. That's really excellent. I certainly feel more informed now. It was a long walk from the city centre but we saw a lot on the way there and hopped on a bus back to the city centre. Highly recommended!

This was an informative tour and very interesting. It gave you a great insight at what prison life was like in Belfast from well over 100+ years ago until fairly recently. There are interactive displays and various media presentations. The tour is in one direction, you enter one side and come out the other, so be prepared to walk the whole tour.

Great visitor attraction with a lot of relevant history dating back to the 1800s all the way through to the troubles. While not a long self guided tour, they have put a lot of effort into it with great information displays and a lot of technology. Would recommend if you have an interest in the history of the troubles

An historic and sobering tour. Gives the visitor a potted history of both the Troubles and the Gaol itself. The Cuffs restaurant is well worth a visit too with friendly attentive staff and a great menu.

I can honestly say this is my favorite tourist attraction in Belfast. Being more of a blue collar town your not going to get the most extravagant castles or opulent cathedrals, but man they sure no how to make an awesome looking prison. Well worth the visit

A really interesting tour round the old gaol. We stopped at cuffs for a drink and food before properly starting the tour, there had been a leak from the heavy rain which our server made us aware of but our drinks and food came very quickly. The tour itself was very unique and well layed out, but I do feel it was a little short. The cafe signposted isn't really a cafe either, it's more for takeaway drinks. A very hood experience overall!

Wonderful attraction, great value for money and incredibly interesting. Love how the exhibits don't get overcrowded due to the clever one way system. An easy and cheap bus ride from town on the 11a, quick walk past the murals and there you are at the gaol.

Nice plan for a rainy day. I decided last minute to book tickets online since it was raining all day and not much to do outside. The booking process is very simple, the ticket for self-guided tour cost £15,50 and I could book the time slot on the same day. There was no waiting time when I arrived, I received a map and followed arrows around the area. What I liked about the Crumlin Road Gaol was how interactive and interesting was the presentation of the prison, instead of reading everything, you could listen to recordings and even observe the holograms of "prison characters" who told you more about the prison. The place looked very authentic, took about 60-70 minutes to walk through, and even included testimonies from former prisoners. It was a nice way of learning more about the history of the country and Belfast itself.

Really recommend booking the tour if your visiting. Our tour guide was really enthusiastic and knew his stuff and was passionate during the tour, it took around an hour to get through and we found it really engaging and learnt some interesting stories. Its a very historic place with many interesting elements. Definitely something to do when visiting Belfast

Absolutely loved this place! So interesting and informative. Easy to follow, info is given in so many different ways from holograms to boards. Great value for money (we did self guided) I felt like I learnt so much and really understood the history and workings of the whole place. Fun and educational for all ages!

We had a fabulous time! We were in about 3.5 hours. The prison is really cold, so wrap up! The information is told by holograms and TV screens, which is really good as you can take it at your own pace. Be mindful, the last room is the hanging cell. It's very poignant, and sombre. This may not be for everyone, including children, but the option is there to skip the room if you choose. The history of the place, the prisoners and the escapes are amazing, and it's defo worth a visit.

This was a good place to visit. Seeing the prison wings and landings made it hit home how intimadating a place it must of been in its day. Plenty to see. Unfortunately not many staff about to assist my disabled partner to access the upper wings. I had to go find a member of staff. When on the landing we had to fold the wheelchair up to get it through a cell door to get to the exit. Luckily she can stand for a short period. It is a very interesting visit.

LOOOOOONG WINDED EXPLANATIONS! The Crumlin Road Gaol is one of the top attractions in Belfast, highlighting it's history as a historic prison. Price is a little on the high-side for what it is, and most of the 'exhibits' are video presentations that are long winded. If you can't be bothered watching video after video after video, your visit will be incredibly short. If you can be bothered, you'll learn a lot about the history of the place, but you'll be sat or stood watching a screen or projection for a while (or waiting 5 minutes to go into the next section of the Gaol). The coolest bit is where they show you a short video before revealing the "secret" room behind a bookcase where condemned prisoners were hanged to death. That was good. But otherwise, take your time if you have the time. If you don't have time to kill - don't bother going.

Absolutely loved this place. Really informative and a great experience. The intercative displays really added to the day. Very clean and spacious. Definitely recommended 👍

Really nice visit, the museum was interactive and interesting, they had loads of videos about the history of the prison, the infrastructure and the testimonials of ex-prisoners. The only bad thing it's that the place was a bit dirty (specially the floor) and the fact that you can only visit some parts of the prison, the main structure remains closed to the visitors, apart from that, highly recommended to visit if you are around Belfast.

City Hall is brilliant. I visited Belfast City Hall during my trip to Belfast this year. I wasn’t able to visit previously because of closure during Covid on a previous trip I made. The wait was worth it as I was amazed by the stunning architecture and design of this building. There was a exhibit put on when I visited about the history of building, the people of Belfast, and the vision of the town. The entire exhibit was a delightful experience learning. There is a cafe inside of city hall that supports people with autism. The food was delicious that I ordered from the cafe. I had the tomato soup and bread with butter. The building is kept up with and the grounds is well maintained. The employees of Belfast City Hall were all knowledgeable and helpful in my experience.

Great place to visit and take photos. Went there is 2008 and got on the wheel (Belfast eye) and took photos of the city hall and surrounding area from above. If you like taking photos from a wheel/eye/flyer, try going during sunrise or sunset on a nice, clear day. You will be able to see many things and take really goo pictures, although I am not sure if this wheel/flyer is still in Belfast.

I arrived at the bus station in the city centre and made a bee line for the city hall which I thought would be a good start to my visit of the capital of Northern Ireland . My influences are swayed more to the architecture than the history of this building given the troubles that this part of the world has gone through. As you enter into the reception entrance hall , the grandness and opulence is overwhelming with gold leaf in abundance and craft in evidence on a no holds barred , money no object scale that was afforded in the time this hall was built . Even the toilets are not toilets because they are beautifully decorated, so deserve to be called rest rooms at least . The whole interior of the building certainly was an eye opener for me and a sight I will always remember

With construction between 1898 and 1906 and renovated in 2009, City Hall was built in the baroque revival style. City Hall in Durban, South Africa is a near exact replica. Stained glass windows depict historic events of the city. There are exhibition rooms also covering its history and its notable people. Now the grand ediface of City Hall has the world's coolest teddy bear as a visitor... Me! I am so cool that a girl asked for my and Mummy's autograph!

Beautiful building that offers pride of place in the city centre. The stained glass windows are beautiful. The free exhibition is well worth a visit too. It covers everything that is Belfast - including history, society, industries, politucs and famous sons and daughters.

The Belfast City Hall is filled up with history and fun facts about Northern Ireland. Perhaps one of the most welcoming places in the city where you get to explore interesting exhibitions and enjoy classical architecture. Admission here is free and they also offer guides tours, the latter with scheduled times. Make sure to budget some time to have a full experience, you can easily spend one to two hours here.

Victorian Building which must be visited in Belfast and take the tour to the first floor to enjoy it much better. Nice and helpful staff who will always help you. Fantastic. One of the details of City Hall I really appreciate is the collection of the stain glass windows that visitors can see throughout the building. Let' view some of the most recently unveiled stained windows along the corridor from the main reception.

The heart of Belfast's administrative activities. The design is very impressive, I must say. This is a phenomenal structure, and it is punctuated with eye-catching and intricate details. It is also a very important building to the city of Belfast - housing the city council, and serving many other public purposes. Public transport to and from here is quite straightforward and it is a very picturesque location for photographers and tourists. I love the well-manicured lawns and the surrounding areas. Additionally, a tiny but brilliant detail I've noticed is that the objects which spell "Belfast" in front of the building seem to change every so-often, and I think that's very neat.

A grand building in the heart of Belfast. The staff are extremely friendly and smiley giving you to a typical Irish welcome. The structure from the outside is imposing with a tone of green and white colours. The statues and parts of the building can do with some cleaning however it could be issue to do with the weather! The building is surrounded by other grand structures which are beautiful in their own right. City Hall is very charming inside. Beautiful decor. The exhibitions are informative and covers various events including articles associated with the Titanic.

St Patrick’s Day parade! Wish it had been longer but a great buzz in the city centre. Place was bunged with people. Very well organised by the Council. Everyone was in great form. Shame the rain started for the parade though but hey, it’s Ireland!

Very good exhibition about Belfast history, and do go on the worthwhile tour of the building. Impressive features for a city hall! Marble, murals, stained glass, carved wood. The guide was willing to answer any questions about the building and governing body. There is a café also, and toilets. A memorial to the Titanic victims is outside.

A spectacular and grand piece of Victorian architecture completed in 1906. Inside is a free exhibit documenting Belfast's history, with 16 rooms in total. One room is dedicated to the unique Belfast accent, which I found especially interesting. There are also guided tours available with times listed at the entrance. Allow around 1 hour to see it all.

Belfast City Hall: Unfortunately due to the event during the bank Holiday weekend we never got to go in, however, it is Free, so definitely visit. The outside and the grounds are beautiful and well maintained. A Gorgeous architectural building. Stunning all day long. I’m sure the inside looks just as nice. Worth a visit. Central to Belfast city, surrounded by bars, eateries and restaurants. 💫

Belfast Town Hall and Museum is a gem, welcomes visitors daily from 10 AM to 5 PM. The architectural masterpiece that is the Town Hall showcases Belfast's rich heritage through intricate design. This building is beautifully designed and is very photogenic. Inside, the museum offers a captivating journey into the city's past with informative displays and engaging presentations.Allocate about an hour for your visit, allowing ample time to explore the exhibits fully.

most beautiful building in Belfast. The building is truly stunning and Italian Marple interior is beautiful. city hall explaining its whole history which is fascinating a must if visiting Belfast. 45 minutes free tour and our guide was excellent and extremely knowledgeable about the building. We were taken in all the main rooms and their history explained to us. You even have the opportunity to try on the Lord Mayor's robes and sit in his chair in the Council Chamber! Grate hall is so nice and big . building is fabulous and has been very well maintained. The Christmas tree is up and and the Christmas decorations throughout are lovely.

Experienced a very informative and interesting tour by Rodney on Tuesday. Tour lasts 45 minutes and is free, though donations welcome. He walked us through the city hall explaining its whole history which is fascinating a must if visiting Belfast. The building is truly stunning and it's Marple interior is beautiful. The Christmas tree is up and and the Christmas decorations throughout are lovely.

City Hall itself is very beautiful. You can follow the route to understand the history and the future plan of the city. I really enjoy the Christmas market there. Good food and good souvenirs. Recommend you to go on weekdays when it is less crowded.

This is a wonderful place in downtown Belfast, allowing a person to take a rest from the hustle and bustle of city life around them. The building itself is very wheelchair accessible, with ramps to the entrance, and elevators inside. The big and spacious interior is quite welcoming, and the museum is interesting and extensive. If you’re driving, you’ll most likely need to park in a public parking structure, since most of the street parking is already taken during the day.

I don’t want to exaggerate but Belfast City looked aesthetically pleasing compared to where I am currently living. Every turn made me say “fck its beautiful”

Brilliant range of local history going from the geological formation of the land up to the troubles. We only had time to look at the history but it was clear that they also have great science and art displays. Easy to navigate through and the staff are helpful and friendly. Very clean and safe environment with plenty of toilets. Situated in the very pleasant botanical gardens.

Amazing visit to an incredible museum. It's far bigger than you think with a huge amount to see inside across 5 floors. The staff are friendly and there are lockers to drop bags near the entrance so you don't have to lug them around. Well worth a visit, we were there over 2 hours and could easily have spent longer. There are also workshops for children and other activities available inside. All this and it's free!

Very full museum with items and exhibitions for everyone. When I attended there was a beautiful class and ceramics exhibitions on the top level. Followed by a few levels of natural history from pre-historic to present day, with some exhibitions including the Egyptians and Spanish. One of my favourite parts was the annual competition for the art students at Queens University, some great displays of talent. The whole tour took me about 3 hours, but you could spend more or less time, depending what you're into.

The Ulster Museum, nestled in the picturesque Botanic Gardens of Belfast, is a treasure trove of art, history, and natural sciences.

Visitors can marvel at the museum’s extensive displays, which range from local archaeological finds to international masterpieces. The museum’s layout is thoughtfully designed, ensuring accessibility for all, including those with mobility issues or families with prams. It’s a place that invites curiosity and learning, with open doors for open minds. The Ulster Museum is not only a hub of knowledge but also a welcoming space for reflection and inspiration. Whether you’re a local or a tourist, the Ulster Museum is a must-visit destination in Belfast. Its free admission makes it an accessible cultural experience, perfect for a family outing or a solo adventure.

Great experience, really love this museum, relaxed atmosphere, well organised, really widespread collection with a bit of everything and good facilities like the cafe, shop and toilets. Royal academy of arts exhibition was fantastic. Our now teenage kids and friends enjoyed it too.

I spent 2.5 hours here, but more time would be even better. A very good museum, plus art gallery with many Irish works. Museum exhibits cover prehistoric times through to The Troubles. Plus rocks & minerals, natural history, and an especially good section about chemistry called The Elements. Easy to visit: just drop in, no booking needed, it’s free (donations welcome).

Super place to come with children of any age. Well laid out per level, which allows for a lot of talking points with 5-year-old. Self portrait and dress up area always a winner and makes for some entertainment during your visit, as well as a scavenger hunt in the nature area there is plenty to be done. Topped off with cafe on ground floor for pitstop/refuel and a gift shop perfect day sorted.

I had an incredible experience at the Ulster Museum! The exhibits were not only diverse and captivating but also thoughtfully curated, making it a perfect place for both history enthusiasts and art lovers. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, adding to the overall welcoming atmosphere. I was particularly impressed by the museum's dedication to interactive displays and educational activities, which made learning engaging and enjoyable. Whether you're interested in natural history, art, or local culture, the Ulster Museum offers something for everyone. A must-visit destination that left me inspired and enlightened!

Ulster Museum is an excellent visitor attraction covering all things Northern Ireland and more. From a room devoted solely to the history of the troubles, to modern art, fashion of the 1920s, classic paintings/portraits, dragon sculptures, dinosaur fossils, crystals and rocks Egyptian mummies and more. Attended with my son who commented that the museum was much more interesting than he thought it would be. I particularly enjoyed the Egyptian mummy exhibit and the wooden dragon sculptures on the ceiling. The troubles exhibit brings history to life for those who haven't lived with it on the news. The museum is over 5 levels all accessible by lift for those that need it. There is a cafe on the ground floor. I didn't use it but it seemed busy. If you are looking for the museum it didn't appear particularly well sign posted. Only once we got to the gates for the botanic Gardens did we see a sign post, there didn't appear to be any on the street we walked up to get there. The museum is not open on Mondays. I would recommend a visit to anyone in Belfast and it's deserving of a generous donation as you leave.

I absolutely love this museum! Visiting this place is always a highlight of my trips to Northern Ireland. My partner is a local and introduced me to the museum in June 2022. Even though we had to hurry through the exhibits (and missed quite a few) since the museum was closing early due to a private event, we enjoyed ourselves very much. The warm and friendly staff made it even better and that hospitality was incredible. We were greeted as if we were family and guided as to how to best enjoy our time. Upon leaving, I was encouraged to take a quick survey by an amazing gentleman who was happy to find out where I traveled from (Georgia, USA!). My partner and I were excited to see this same kind man was still working at the museum in July 2023. His name escapes me, but he truly makes this annual trip to the museum worthwhile. Our second trip was even more amazing as we got to explore and experience each floor at our own pace and at the end, in the gift shop, was our bespectacled friend! I'm sure he was surprised to see us a year later after our first visit together. I can't say enough about this museum! I love telling people I flew 4000 miles just to see the Renoir painting and I am excited to see what new exhibits will be there this summer.

One of the best museums I have visited. Packed with years of history. The layout of the building is the best! Allows for easy movement from one section to the other! A must visit if you’re ever in Belfast, a city like no other in the UK!

Had a great time at the Ulster museum! Lots of interesting artefacts. Great for kids too! Could have spent a lot longer there but had to rush around.

Great wealth in information. Very clean and open spaces with 5 floors of exhibits. Spanning from dinosaurs to mummies to current events, there was so much to see. For a great price of FREE! Highly recommended.

Wonderful musuem with so much interesting content. The Art room is a great area for children to encourage their creativity. Very helpful staff. Set in the grounds of the beautiful Botanic gardens with a lovely Palm House and Tropical Ravine.

Excellent museum with so much packed it. You could spend ages in here. Came with kids aged 7-9 and they all were enthralled too. Definitely recommended.

I loved the experience, there was lots to see and plenty of space, so it did not feel crowded. The indoor tropical garden was amazing. I wish there were more areas which dedicated kids sections though. There is so much to learn but it's a but much for our littles. I will definitely be returning to roam some more.

We had a fantastic experience at the Ulster Museum ! The diverse exhibits, spanning art, history, and natural sciences, offer a captivating journey through Northern Ireland's rich heritage. The displays are well-curated, providing an insightful and enjoyable visit. A must-see attraction in Belfast for anyone interested in exploring the cultural tapestry of the region

I am a visitor from Indonesia and I love this museum! I found an abundant set of fascinating minerals collection there. The radioactive showcase was super cool! I could spend hours linger around the museum to admire many interesting things including ancient artifact, taxidermies, and medieval painting gallery on the top floor. There had been an "Inclusive Global History Exhibition" going on until March 2025. I felt like I was experiencing the history of my ancestors who were colonized because of the spice expedition. They also have good coffee and pastry on the ground floor. This museum is free to the public, but it would be great if we could contribute an easy donation by tapping on the card machines available in several corners of the museum. Why not? This museum is awesome!

Belfast museum never fails. I've been taking my kids to Belfast Museum since they were babies. Today we went as a Mum, a 13 year old boy and a 10 year old girl. We all have our favourite areas, but highlights are always Takabuti (the Mummy), the art activity room and the discovery room. Botanic gardens being just outside is always a huge bonus on days like today, when the sun was out.

Great entertainment. Free. So much to see and enjoy. Great exhibitions. Loved it. Need to go back and spend more time so much to explore. I was even allowed to tie my pet at the entrance while I browse. Great must visit place.

This has got to be one of the best museums in the UK! And its free! So much thought put into each exhibit and its extremely informative - the history section spanned from prehistoric to present day in an easy to follow format with great artefacts. The 'elements' section was brilliant. The cafe is reasonably priced and the architecture is beautiful. You could easily spend upwards of 3h here. Well worth a visit if you're in Belfast.

The museum is in the botanical gardens and has a wide variety of attractions to keep you occupied for hours. It starts at the history of Ireland; stories about the troubles; geology; formation of the earth and prehistoric animals. It has an art gallery area as well. Spent 5 hours wondering around; no entry fee. Well worth it.

Access is free to visit and no bookings required. We found the museum collections location difficult and struggling without a map. Ulster Museum is home to Northern Ireland’s treasures of past and present. Home to rich collections of art, history and natural sciences all set within the beautiful surroundings of Belfast’s Botanic Gardens. Discover new perspectives about Ancient Ireland, inclusive global histories, the Troubles, and whatever the future may hold. The collections of Ulster Museum tell the story of our shared experiences, connecting the dots around who we are, the past we share, and the future we are building together.

This doesn't take long but it's an interesting old boat to hop aboard and have a walk around. It's in a nice part of the docks, grab a coffee across the road and see where you end up.

Definitely worth to visit place. Tour guides very understandable and helpful, told us many interesting facts about the ship and it's history. There are some puzzles and games children and adults will love to attempt solving. You can really feel like your the times the ship. There's also a lot of information and perfectly preserved parts of the original ship. Really recommend visiting when in Belfast.

The SS Nomadic is the only surviving tender from the White Star Line, the company that operated the RMS Titanic. It is located in a dry Dock, in front of the Titanic Experience building. It was launched on the 25th April 1911 in Belfast. She was built to transfer passingers and mail from the RMS Titanic and RMS Olympic. It was restored and opened to the public on 31st May 2013. If you are in the Belfast Titanic Quarter, buy a ticket and visit the SS Nomadic. It's a great boat to visit. You can see how boats were kitted out at the turn of the last century, and also its historical importance.

Only a side exhibition to the Titanic museum, but it is a good display. You can purchase a ticket for this exhibit alone, but it is included in all the Titanic visitor packages. This display is just dedicated to Normadic and other boats used to carry passengers to the Titanic. Nomadic has been restored and is in excellent condition, with good factual displays. Don't miss this hidden display, but it closes before the main exhibits.

This ship brought passengers from Cherbourg onto the Titanic over a hundred years ago. How many wedding venues can boast of that?! There's something seriously cool and romantic about SS Nomadic weddings - it's steeped in history and intrigue, and a must for any Titanic history buffs. You can always guarantee that at least two of your wedding guests will do a reenactment of Rose and Jack's Ceile in the lower deck when the dancing kicks off.

Glad it's been nice lately, but sure the weather allowed us to enjoy it. Disappointed when it rained initially, but at lately we had nice photos. Really enjoyed Titanic, a must-visit at £24.49 per person. It really is a must-see to learn more about what the movie doesn't show.

A fantastic journey through over 100 years of authentic maritime and social history.

Its tickets can be purchased from the titanic museum or online. The inner ship is so well preserved! Displaying the sleeping quarters and different rooms, the deck is beautiful!

I recently visited the SS Nomadic in Belfast and it was a fantastic experience! The ship has been beautifully maintained and provides a fascinating insight into the history of the ship. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and I would highly recommend a visit to anyone in the area.

Part of the overall Titanic experience, remember it was designed to ferry people to liners, so great to have the last remaining White Star vessel and one that actually served Titanic.

The staff onboard were fantastic. They actually know heaps about the ship (whereas most museum attendants stand around making sure you're not breaking or stealing anything). I was able to ask multiple questions, some technically and they were all answered

It was really incredible to get inside and check how the Titanic looks like and see her little sister. It’s located in front of the museum. Your Titanic museum ticket give you access to SS Nomadic.

Nomadic is the last surviving White Star Line ship and we are so lucky for her to be back in Belfast and restored to her full glory. She was very very close to being scrapped! She served as a tender alongside Traffic to the large ships such as Titanic (and many more) and has a long and impressive history of her own. As was custom at the time in the early 1900s, the class divide is never more clear than on Nomadic. Exuberant splendour for first class on their journey to their ship down to metal, cold and industrial style spaces for third class. Visiting Nomadic, a stones throw from Titanic Belfast, is a must and really adds to the experience of stepping back in time to when the giant ocean liners were being built and serving in the Atlantic and around the world. See my review of Titanic Belfast for more details.

If I had to describe the Nomadic in one word it would be “breathtaking!” The last existing White Star Line ship in the world. It’s incredible to think she was around the same time as the Titanic. The Nomadic’s history is just incredible, from ferrying passengers to and from the Olympic Liners, serving in WW1 and WW2, being a floating restaurant in France to returning home to Belfast and being restored to her former glory. I would recommend visiting the SS Nomadic to anyone who has a interest in the Titanic.

This visit was included in the price of visiting the Titanic museum. It was interesting but I had just spent 2 hours reading loads about the Titanic so I think my brain was fried at that stage lol. You didn't have to visit on the same day in fairness, ticket was valid for a year.

It was really incredible get inside and check how Titanic looks like and see her’s little sister. Just need to improve the toilet cleaning. It’s located in front of the museum, your Titanic museum ticket give you access to SS Nomadic.

Pretty cool to see the shuttle ship that was used for Titanic, decorated similar but a lot smaller. Lots of facts to read.

My visit to SS Nomadic in Belfast was an average experience. While the historical significance of the ship is intriguing, the overall presentation and engagement fell short of expectations. The exhibition lacked depth, making it a less captivating visit compared to other maritime attractions.

Great experience .No need to buy a ticket ,when u already have a ticket for titanic museum .

The gardens are so beautiful. We really enjoyed exploring seeing all the different trees and plants. The greenhouse had such a large variety of flowers and was a nice break from the cold outside. If you are around I would reccomend taking some time to walk around.

Ah! What can I say! We were blessed with a beautiful day on our visit. Considering we visited at the end of March, there was still a LOT to see. Check out the tropical ravine and the palm house - just gorgeous and very interesting. I'd love to come back when the roses are in bloom, I bet it's stunning.

Beautiful garden in Belfast, lovely range of flowers and plants to see . All set in a large park with plenty of paths. The are also a number of indoor locations for specific plant types. On the day we visited it looked like an event had been setup with a large stage in the main open area. This didn't really impact the park too much. Definitely worth a visit.

A really nice park within Belfast University. The park itself closes at 9pm, however the Botanic Garden shuts at 5pm. They close the door for entrance at 16:15pm. Don’t make the same mistake we did by thinking the Botanic Garden is open till 9pm. The website will say 9pm but this is for the park. A nice park however. I’m sure there’s ample parking surrounding the park, but we walked in from our hotel. Wheelchair friendly which is nice. A flat path all the way round, no steps. A park for children too. There are lots of students due it to being in the grounds of the university. They say, no drinks, bbq, bikes, rucksacks, however there’s plenty of people breaking every rule in the book, including smoking cannabis, sadly. All in all a nice walk, a nice park. I’m sure the Botanic garden’s are just as nice too. 🪴 All completely free too, Bonus!

Beautiful city park featuring two large greenhouse. The tropical ravine and the palm house. The age and sheer size of some of the plants and trees is very impressive. There are lots of benches available near by, picnic benches and there is almost always a coffee cart (near the museum entrance) and an ice-cream van. Today we didn't visit the rose gardens, but kids chose to play with a ball we brought with us. A lovely park to spend an afternoon.

Lovely place for a gentle walk. Plenty to see in the Ulster Museum, palm house and tropical ravine.

Great space for everyone in the city of Belfast just beside the river Lagan. There is the great lawn where you can relax and have a picnic or a walk in the rose garden or visit the palm house. Or just go for a walk around the gardens, it’s one of the most relaxing places in Belfast. There are also toilets available if required.

Beautiful gardens and greenhouses. Loved the way the path runs through. Very well maintained. Enjoyed looking for wild life including bees and squirrels. Great free activity. Also possible to enjoy some of it in the rain with the greenhouses offering some shelter.

For me, it was a very beautiful garden. Garden opens at 7am and closes at sunset. When I visited, there were some people to walk and jog. I could feel lival energy at there. I missed botanical garden opens until 10 am.. but it was enough to look around.

Beautiful! The flowers were so pretty and the scent! We spent an afternoon walking around enjoying the sunshine and spring flowers. The Ravine is a cool place lots of ferns.

This is one of my favourite places to visit in Belfast at any time of the year. It's a beautiful park with a palm house, a tropical ravine, the Ulster Museum, cafe, rose garden, bowling green, leisure centre and band stand.

Great place to spend time whether you are local or visiting. The hot house and ravine are always special places to spend time. Followed by a walk around the garden. For those who are fit just a short walk from city centre.

A beautiful collection of plants between different buildings. Very well maintained, with lots of information available. Also very accessible to all. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Belfast

If you enjoy nature, trees and plants then you will love the gardens and two hot houses at botanic. Lots of cafes nearby on botanic avenue. The rose garden is in full bloom during the summer with lots of varieties which are listed by name and the grower. Ulster museum is also just at the edge of the gardens and worth a visit too.

Belfast Botanic Garden is right next to Queen's University Belfast, and it's a great place to take a walk or just relax. The university's library and sports center are nearby, and so is the Ulster Museum. This big park has lots of paths, flowers, and benches, so you can sit down and enjoy the view. In the summer, you can even get ice cream or coffee from kiosks. Just be careful about the time, because the park closes early in the winter, usually around 4 PM. You can find the closing time posted near the entrance gates. Whether you're looking for a quiet place to sit or a beautiful spot for a long walk, Belfast Botanic Garden is the perfect place to go.

Lovely place to visit and take in all the smells of the plants as well as adoring the different types of plants. The greenhouse is not that huge. Probably 30 minutes would be enough to explore the plants! On the outside you have a park which can be enjoyed especially on sunny days. There is a toilet block in the park which is free to use. There are some other activities in the park just as you would typically find in city parks. It is a calming place. Suitable for all ages, families and individuals. Free to enter.

"Visited the Belfast Botanic Gardens yesterday and it was truly enchanting. The overall scenery is stunning, and the special rooms with fragrant flowers are a delightful touch. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here and plan to return, perhaps during the winter or summer for a different but equally magical experience. Highly recommended for nature lovers!"

The botanical gardens deserve nothing short of a glowing five-star review for the extraordinary experience they offer.

Beyond the visual delights, the botanical gardens provide a sanctuary for those seeking a moment of respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The serene atmosphere invites contemplation, making it an ideal spot for leisurely strolls, quiet reflection, or simply connecting with the beauty of the natural world. In addition to the physical attributes, the botanical gardens often host educational programs, events, and workshops, further enriching the visitor experience. The commitment to both conservation and public engagement adds a commendable dimension to this already exceptional destination. In conclusion, the botanical gardens earn a resounding five stars for delivering an enchanting blend of beauty, education, and tranquility. Whether you're a nature lover, a family seeking a peaceful outing, or someone in search of inspiration, this botanical oasis is a must-visit gem that continues to leave a lasting impression on all who have the pleasure of exploring its wonders.

Beautiful Gardens with Arboretum, and Art Museum with Local Art Exhibits. There is a nearbyCollege to Explore as well. A softer city visit on a light rainy day in Belfast ☔️ !

A really nice park with lots of really interesting features and exhibits to explore and discover. There is a really calming feel to the gardens and you can walk around the area for ages and still be finding new things.

A nice place to stroll around. Pretty lawns and a few nice trees. The enclosed greenhouses are probably the most interesting given the diverse mix of tropical plants inside. I thought it would have been no e to have more interpretive signage throughout the garden. There were a few of these but not enough in my view. It is free entry so perhaps that is the reason.

It's difficult to articulate the vibe of these Gardens as a visitor to this city. On the one hand, they are meticulously maintained, even in the off season such that you can clearly sense how beautiful this place would look at full bloom. On the other hand, this park holds pragmatic functionality for this city - a field house on the one side, with a lovely green house on another, and the museum and ferris wheel on yet another serving to attract locals and tourists alike, for many different reasons. Certainly worth visiting, no matter the season. - one of the better free admission city gardens I've visited.

How flippin’ divine! 100% free and easy to enter, it should be an absolute must when visiting Belfast. Thoroughly enjoyed exploring the greenhouses, the ironworks are just so beautiful and inspiring! A wonderful mix of tropicals in the ravine hot house. A fabulous banana giving a show stopping show. Plus really toasty warm inside on a rather chilly misty day! Being December I wasn’t expecting anything particularly breath taking. But was still impressed with what was on show. I will have to visit in the spring and summer for comparison.

Lovely food and craft stalls. Great music. Could do with a bit more seating. Also good toilet facilities. Wish I could come back to try some more!

This is a must do visit when in Belfast. The market is located in a historic building. There are tons of antiques, prepared food, unprepared food, fruits, souvenirs, and many other things. We tried here our first Belfast Bap; this was a life changing experience (😂). There was also a Cuban sandwich shop that was super authentic and importantly good. The ambience was super inviting when we visited. Definitely a place I would visit multiple times during a time in Belfast.

St George’s market is such an elegant place. I have never visited such a vibrant market in my life. The stalls, the food, the culture, the people, everything was super duper fun. We literally spend around 3hours inside the market. We visited on a Sunday. Says its open at 10am. But we were there by 9.30 and even when we were early there were so many open stalls. I was most attracted to the antique shops and obviously the food!

St. George's Market is a must-visit for anyone in Belfast. This charming Victorian market isn't just about the stunning architecture (though that's definitely worth a look!), it's a feast for the senses. Fresh produce paradise: First, there's the food! Fresh, local produce is the star of the show. From mountains of colorful vegetables to glistening fish straight off the boats, you'll find everything you need to whip up a delicious meal. Be sure to try the famous Belfast bap, a soft bread roll piled high with local fillings. Foodie adventures and beyond: But the food goes far beyond local staples. On Saturdays, the market transforms into a haven for international flavors. Sample exotic spices, grab a steaming cup of artisan coffee, or indulge in decadent pastries. There are even stalls with handmade crafts, jewelry, and unique souvenirs, perfect for finding a special Belfast memento. A vibrant atmosphere: The atmosphere at St. George's Market is electric. Live music fills the air on weekends, adding to the lively buzz. Whether you're chatting with friendly stallholders or soaking up the sights and sounds, you'll feel the energy of this special place. A Belfast must: St. George's Market is more than just a market, it's a Belfast institution. It's a great way to experience the city's culture, food scene, and friendly people. Friday, Saturday and Sundays are your best bet to catch it in all its glory, so don't miss out!

We particularly love visiting the market at Christmas to buy fresh produce and to buy christmas presents from the variety of stalls. Always a great spot to get a bite of lunch too. A massive variety of food on offer and live music for entertainment. A gem of Belfast.

Pretty market, very well spaced - good amount of choices for food, coffee, flowers and local stuff. Nice lively space to spend a couple of hours. The market gives me the vibes of greenwich market in London. But St George's is more spacious and you can certainly spend more time here. Businesses are generally friendly and have a nice chat. It has some places to sit down and grab food from any of the local stores. A nice place to come in for the weekend.

I went around 11am on a Sunday in July, there were a lot of tourists, the atmosphere was happy, there was live music. It has various stalls which mainly offer food, there are also a few craft and flea market stalls... I was a little disappointed because I thought I would find a market reserved for local producers there and that was not the case... there are however many farmers in this country, why is this market not reserved for them? ? I also noticed that some stalls had no protection and people could cough, sneeze or touch the cakes or other foodstuffs. Hygiene is important I think the manager of this market should impose rules.

A really cool place with a special atmosphere: part flea market, part food hall, part arts and crafts market with live music and great food stalls on top. You can buy anything here: fresh fish, cheeses, cakes, single light bulbs, incense, jewellery... You name it, you will find it here! Rather crowded, but the crowd feels friendly. A great place to buy great food or souvenirs.

This was super fun. Didn’t expect such a neat market in Belfast for some reason but it was great. Lots of food vendors, Bakers, fudge makers, artists, antique stalls… all kinds of just about anything you could want. Also, tons of people had their dogs which was really fun

We really enjoyed visiting the market on Saturday. It felt more like we would have expected the Christmas Market to be like with more gift traders than food stalls. Great atmosphere and friendly stall holders

Cool market. Almost a flea market in some places. Wide array of shops but generally not wildly high quality. We bought some cheese here and bought some Spanish food for lunch. Worth a visit!

Cool place to visit but kinda reminds me of any other open market in San Francisco. Or Washington, DC. I was hoping I would find some local prints from Belfast yet the pickins were a bit slim. Anyway, I think worth of a walk if you have some extra time whilst in Belfast.

Someone recommended St. George's Market in Belfast because it operates only during the weekends, and I must say it was a delightful experience that I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone visiting the city. As one of Belfast's oldest attractions, this historic market has been operating since 1890 and continues to captivate both locals and tourists with its vibrant atmosphere and diverse offerings. The market is also dog friendly! The market's charming Victorian architecture, added a touch of elegance to the bustling ambiance.The stalls are nothing short of impressive with a vast array of goods that catered to every interest and craving. The friendly and welcoming owners proudly presented their products, with a primary focus on local foods encouraging me to indulge in the delicious flavors of Northern Ireland. One of the highlights of my visit was the opportunity to sample various delicacies offered by the vendors. From warm, crusty bread to delectable pastries, every bite was a delightful surprise. It was evident that the owners took great pride in their offerings and were more than happy to share their passion with visitors. Beyond the culinary delights, I found myself captivated by the diverse range of products available. It was a treasure trove of unique finds, allowing me to discover hidden gems and take home one-of-a-kind souvenirs. Whether you are a food enthusiast, a vintage aficionado, or simply seeking an authentic and enjoyable experience, this market will not disappoint.

What a fantastic place to be! Singer Laura brightened up my day, all the little food stands smell glorious and met artist Peter with his lovely glass art. I am not on social media so hereby sharing video from Laura🎶

It was a spontaneous trip but I decided to visit St. George’s market. I absolutely loved it. I was only able to spend about an hour because I had to catch a flight however if I could stay for longer I definitely would have. There were so many different options for food and also many items that I could buy. There were vintage items and modern items and art and just so much. The location is very convenient as well and easy to find. I definitely want to come back again.

The market is only open Friday, Saturday and Sunday but if it is open when you are there it is a great place to visit. The fresh produce is cool to walk around and there are also a great amount of small craft shops that would provide great souvenirs and some good food stalls that provide delicious food for lunch or a snack.

Wow, what a great place this is, with something for everyone! Live music, shopping extravaganza, food choices galore! Centrally located in the city center of Belfast with easy access from the train station, the market draws crowds from all over and is a great way to spend the day. Antiques, craft items, leather goods, artwork, jewelry.......just about anything you can imagine. Fresh fish, fruit, and vegetables are also available. Hand-crafted soaps and sauces, too! Dog-friendly, so you can bring your pooch. Open Friday through Sunday. Not to miss if you are a visitor to Belfast!

My first time visiting the market and found it very interesting with numerous and different things to eat and items for sale. Would highly recommend to visit this market when in Belfast Ireland 🇮🇪 👍

It's a market selling different types of products. You can find fresh food, cooked food, groceries, decorations, clothes and bags. I like the art items there. There is an area having tables. A lot of people enjoy the food there.

One of 5 famous markets in the UK. I visited on Saturday, there were so many people because maybe this market opens not usual.

I recently had the opportunity to visit the St. George's Market in Belfast on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for their fish market, and I must say it was a delightful experience. St. George's Market is known for being one of Belfast's oldest and most iconic markets, and the fish market certainly lives up to its reputation. The first thing that struck me upon entering was the incredible variety of seafood on offer. From fresh salmon to mussels to scallops, there was an impressive selection available from various vendors. The quality of the seafood was exceptional, with each piece looking fresh and inviting. The knowledgeable vendors were another highlight of my visit. They were friendly, approachable, and eager to share their expertise about the different types of fish and shellfish available. They provided helpful advice on cooking techniques and even shared some delicious recipes for inspiration. The atmosphere at St. George's Market was vibrant and bustling throughout the weekend. It truly felt like a lively hub for food enthusiasts as locals and tourists mingled together in search of their favorite seafood delicacies. The energy in the market created a sense of excitement that added to the overall experience. In addition to the wide range of seafood options, there were also other food stalls offering a variety of culinary delights such as artisan breads, cheeses, sweets, and local produce. This made it a fantastic destination not only for seafood lovers but also for anyone looking to explore local flavors. One aspect that stood out during my visit was the cleanliness and organization of the market. The stalls were well-maintained and presented in an appealing manner, creating an inviting shopping environment. This attention to detail further enhanced my confidence in purchasing seafood products from St. George's Market. Overall, my experience at St. George's Market fish market on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday was outstanding. The wide array of fresh seafood options, friendly vendors, vibrant atmosphere, and commitment to cleanliness make it a must-visit destination for any food lover in Belfast. Whether you're a seasoned chef or simply enjoy indulging in delicious seafood dishes, be sure to check out this fish market during your next visit—it won't disappoint!

I am a frequent visitor at the Grand Opera House, this time we went to see Saturday Night Fever it was one of the best shows I have ever seen. Since the major renovations the building is even more beautiful, with better sets & all of the staff are so friendly. It is my favourite venue in Northern Ireland!!

Great atmosphere, really good for wheelchair or other mobility aids, staff are very attentive. Drinks and snacks are competitively priced. Choice of shows and various activities is pretty good. There is even options for disabilities including audio description, signed performances, dementia friendly, and autistic options provided. All in a beautiful historic building.

Go to the panto every year and have been to several shows here too. Beautiful architecture. Beautiful building its like an experience just going! Very well organised with covid restrictions. Very friendly staff. Easy to book online or go into the box office

I was always mesmerized by the outside and finally managed to go there for The Commitments last Saturday. Breathtaking! Simply breathtaking! And the show fantastic but The Grand Opera House - I just can't wait for next one!

Lovely opera house, modernised but has a lovely feel about it. Good views from most seating areas. Lovely bar area on first floor overhanging the street with floor to cieling glass for a great views.

Beautiful venue. We did the behind the scenes tour. Guide was super informative and it was great to get up on the stage to see what it was like looking towards the audience. Constantly aware that we had someone behind us from the theatre making sure we didn’t stray into other areas but seeing as these were locked, I’m not sure where we’d be straying off to. It was a bit much. Even the Louvre manages it without you feeling the presence. Told we couldn’t take photos of the stage because the set was copyrighted to the production. Would love to see that copyright document as how does that work in an audience with people taking photos all the time of the show they’re attending. In any event, it was a bit late to say as most of us had already taken photos. These reasons are why it didn’t get a 5 star. I don’t think I’d even go to a show as a result.

Lights, sound and seating were all excellent. We had stall seats. Middle row J. The performance was so much more imaginative than I thought it was going to be. GOLDILOCKS AND THE THREE BEARS. A relaxed performance. The children had an amazing time (4 of them aged 2-11). But as a review of the theatre, the Grand Opera House did not let us down. Waiting in line was kept to a minimum even with all the Covid-19 and vaccination checks. The toilets were impeccable and plenty of them so no standing in a queue for the whole interval. Instead I was able to change a nappy on a wall unit, in the end ladies stall (unmarked) and then still check all the concession prices at the 3 different areas. I say check because after Christmas it's all a bit much for my pocket. We had brought a couple packs of sweets and some drinks with us so that was fine and expected.

Old style theater with red decorations. 4 floors which allow for a nice view of the stage. The columns are slim, circa 10 cm each, so the are not that annoying even for the cheapest seats. Bars in every floor, with an offer of ice cream among drinks. Good sound system, even a little away of the stage I could hear very well. Went to see Ocean at the end of the Lane, excellent play from great author Neil Gaiman.

Such a beautiful building, outside and in. The opulent auditorium was just a wonder to sit and view. The architect (whom you can read about within the foyer) certainly pulled out the stops!!! The newer part, with bars and seating areas is airy and modern, easy access with a lift to all floors. Staff were so professional and nothing was too much trouble. All food and drinks were very fairly priced. I sat in the grand circle, excellent value for money with superb views, seats were comfy, though if you're a person with long legs, the space in front is limited slightly. A hidden gem in the modern world.

Went to see snow White and 7 dwarfs was hilarious 😂 Great show Easy access to theatre Word of advice if booking God's seats don't be feared of heights lol

The Grand Opera is a very beautiful & historic building. It was well organised and the staff were very courteous. The interior design is beautiful. We attended the one woman show called Myra's story here last night. Fabulous show 👏 👌.

Fantastic family experience at the Pantomime. Always well organised and in such a stunning building. Looks even better after its refurb.

Had a great afternoon out at the Panto with family and friends. It’s a Christmas treat every year. The Opera House is gorgeous and so nostalgic, hard to beat as a venue .

Another great experience at the Grand Opera House. Good seats friendly staff, very good pantomime that 8 kids aged 6 to 15 all enjoyed and both adults.

Had a fab night at Dirty Dancing the musical here. Everything is well organised and staff are very helpful and pleasant. There are a range of drinks served at the bars, including spirits, wine, and beer. You can pre-order your drink at the bar for the interval. Just be sure to order at the bar on the floor closest to your seat as the interval goes quickly. You are given a number, and your drink will be waiting for you at the interval.

Went to see the final showing of Awful Aunty. It was a good show and my son said it was very close to the book. The snacks and drinks are extortionate and they do a 'bag check' on the way in.

Fantastic play, 2.2 A Ghost Story! Really great actors and we didn't research the play so had no idea what it was about! Also can I mention, really great prices for a glass of wine! Staff were all really friendly and helpful too 😁

Visited here on a very busy Sunday with 3 children aged between 6-17. Easy to find, ample car parking available and very reasonable considering what's on offer. Although very busy we had lots of time to see just about everything, it's spread out over a few floors and different area's are themed. There's toilets on every floor too and a fabulous shop on the ground floor, there is a coffee dock but we didn't use it. Favourite activities on the day included the climbing structure, News desk, grafitti board and tug of war. There is an area for small children which we had booked for our 6 year old but she chose to stay in the main area, it would be more suitable up to age 5! We spent about 3 hours here just after arriving in Belfast and had a great time, would highly recommend.

Visited here on a Sunday in early March and was surprised by how quiet it was. I went with my 9 year old son who is science, engineering and aviation obsessed. It was such an incredible trip for him. He really enjoyed it. Excellent value with something for every age group from toddlers to teens. Climb it, Magnificent Machines, the Studio and Flying Machines were the highlights for me son. It was absolutely worth the visit.

There was plenty of exhibits and fun interactive things to go. It was a bit busy but nothing out of the ordinary. You could always find a free area so waiting time was minimal. The build your own race car bit wasn't really up to much and there was a bit broken on one exhibit and another was out of order. Other than that a good day with both physical and mental activities a plenty

Absolutely fantastic for all ages (and I mean all ages I'm 36!) - I was with a 3 year old and it was like Xmas day for him. Thankfully, we were in during a quiet period so we had free reign but a school trip followed us and we definitely could've done with ear defenders. Overall a great exhibit - would love to see the 🐲 bit in July. The soft play also very fun for my 3year old. Great value. Highly recommend!

There is a large carpark right across the road. It's recommended that you book your tickets online beforehand. We went with a 12 year old, and were it was a different day out for us, it really felt geared for younger children, I'd say max 9 or 10 years old. If your kids enjoy building stuff like Lego, they will find a good few play areas with stuff to entertain them. There are cafés on 2 floors and a large gift shop at the exit.

Fun day out with the children. Great themes covering all major topics. The only complaint would be the line for limited food, rather eat before or after and just go there to enjoy the experience.

a really fun day out! kids aged 5-12 will definitely enjoy it most but i'm an adult and had a nice time too. the dinosaur exhibit is really cool and the gift shop was huge with a variety of gifts that were mostly reasonably priced.

I spent one day in Belfast with my toddler and partner and am so glad that I spent that one day here! I would describe W5 as a hands on museum of life and I'd recommend anyone with children from the ages of two to twelve need to come here. Everyone in our family was able to join in and have a blast too. It simply wowed me! There were a huge range of activities from physical climbing challenges, practical scientific experiments and calming craft areas. My family and I loved the shows, which were fast paced and fun - ideal for a young child to maintain interest and learn something new. On top of this, the views from W5 were spectacular over the marina and the Belfast skyline!

Absolutely cracker place to bring kids. I brought my two under 10s for three hours and we could easily have stayed longer. Science, art and building sections are all super interactive and fun. The gift shop has some good stuff. The cafe does decent oat flat whites and a good vegan wrap.

There is sooooooo much to do here!!! We seriously underestimated how interesting every level would be. E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G is interactive!!!! We will definitely be going again, early, so we can spend more time. Our 5 year old was as excited and entertained as we were. This is a fantastic family outing.

W5 was a fantastic afternoon out. Our children are 2 and 4, so on the younger side , there are still lots of things to entertain them. Perhaps more importantly, the adults were also well entertained! Look forward to visiting W5 again and again.

Amazing! Great fun kids of all ages with multiple floors of activities. Adults - you will enjoy it too. Lots to see and do and learn. Definitely going back. There is a two storey play area for kids between 3-11 time slots available so it doesn't get too crowded. One exit/entrance for safety. Adult supervision all the time.

Brilliant museum, so much to see and do for kids (and adults!). Loved all the interactive elements to it, could easily have stayed longer

Absolutely fantastic day out with two kids 5 and under. So much to see and do. I think mine will enjoy it even more when they’re a little older. Food in the cafe reasonably priced and tasty. The only reason I’m giving four stars is because a few of the exhibits were out of order and they need more staff to continually reset a lot of the exhibits due to their interactive nature.

Visited here during Easter holidays mid week. Arrived around the 2pm mark and encountered no delays in entering. The process for two adults and one child was £31.50. Our child is 12 and this place is only really suited for younger children. It is recommended you start at the top floor and work your way down. It’s only really three floors that have activities with the in between floors providing a welcome quiet area. The exhibition is good and all the displays were working during our visit. The staff seemed friendly and helpful. If my child was younger I would go back as it has a huge soft play area which would entertain your child for hours alone, but as for my personal experience and situation, I wouldn’t go back as 95% of things are directed towards much younger children. I should have done more research before I went.

Fantastic children's museum, perfectly suited for under 10s. Lots to do and learn. We spent 5hours and could have spent more if we had arrived earlier. Do note you need to book the soft play when getting there or you risk it being booked out. This is what happened to us but this was a bank holiday. We still had lots to do without the soft play.

Beautiful well kept Cat garden. Would be ideal if there's signs for kid's adventure area or other near by destinations. No dogs allowed sign kinda ruins the Cat story plaque (as seen in picture) would prefer if No dogs sign was out in front of archway. But nevertheless, still a nice place to walk around.

Belfast Castle: We drove to this castle as we’d hired a car. There is a coach you can get from the Europa Bus station, or you can walk too. Its located in a really peculiar area, surrounded by a ‘normal’ housing estate, and then all of a sudden your in paradise! What an absolutely stunning Castle. Just Beautiful. Well maintained on the inside and the grounds are sheer perfection. Its Free to enter the grounds. There are Public toilets and a cafe too. The view from the castle overlooking Belfast is phenomenal. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area. We went early in the day on a week day. I imagine it can get very busy on weekends with coaches arriving too. Thank you for the Belfast castle experience. 💫

We only visited a few of the rooms upstairs and the views were spectacular. The grounds were very well kept and exploring the castle was interesting. We cut our visit short in favour of the hike to McArt’s Fort.

Extremely gorgeous and majestic local castle, built in 1870... you're immediately romanced by the chirping of birds all over, then, as you find your way down the park paths that surround the castle, you realize it's a dog paradise for locals walking their cherished pets... Feast your eyes on multiple videos of both the exterior and interior of this castle... Surprise, surprise... there's a COFFEE SHOP in the basement! and its beautiful and cheap!! I had a perfectly blended flavored hot coffee ☕ for two bucks... Another surprise, there's a full blown CELLAR RESTAURANT in the basement as well, also gorgeous... BONUS VIDEO of a wild rabbit outside in the parking lot... Much to see and do... and again, lots of doggies 🐕 🐶

Beautiful Castle and its stunning grounds. And it's well kept which is good to see. And such a lovely walk around Cavehill trail then we did the Estate trail and wow just taking in the views and scenery. The child just thought it was great and on evenings like tonight it was class. We even took a lil walk to the play park which is a bonus at the end for kids. Definitely recommend here

Very cute gardens with a cute cat finding game, the castle itself internally looked quite basic the downstairs visitor centre looked a bit bleak and the interactive parts didn't work when pressed. Still a gorgeous castle though so I would recommend a visit for the view. But you can tell its a castle that is used for weddings and things as its not really a museum as such.

No tickets required. It's an uphill climb. Tiresome for old people. The bus comes till short of 13 mins walk. Great view of the city. The castle doesn't have much to see inside. Mostly rooms are given on rent. Good place to spend family time.

Magical! Beautiful! Impressive! Unfortunately we went when they were closing and didn't have much time to explore. But we did enjoy a walk along the paths of Cave Hill Country Park. Beautiful views, you feel like the master of the world.🌍 🍀

A stunning location to see Belfast from, it’s totally free to visit and the gardens look amazing. You can walk around the castle with some stunning views on the walk. The staff are lovely and welcoming. A really nice place to visit.

I took a bus for 20 minutes from the city centre. It was easy to access the castle. I can't believe this castle was donated. Before I went here, I investigated to enjoy more fun. And that was finding 8 cats. There are 8 cat sculptures, which made me purpose awareness to find all. I think I found 7 cats, not at all.. but I believe the story that cats will bring fortunes to me. I am glad to come here.

Beautiful architecture. View above Belfast fantastic

This castle is worth a visit. Not just for the architecture but for the amazing views of Belfast from the hilltop where the castle sits. The gardens are so well maintained and you are allowed to walk around inside, if there isn't a private function. There is also a lot of parking and some paths to go for walks.

The Castle grounds are absolutely beautiful and well kept, the Castle inside is lovely but honestly I'd love to see more of the history. There are a few old photos on the walls and the rooms all have name plaques on them but they have been quite modernised loosing some of the original appeal. It would be exciting and informative to have maybe a tour to give insight into the history of the Castle, who built it, what all the rooms originally looked like and were used for etc. Rather than the quite sparse self tour confined in the basement section. A wee gift shop would be amazing too as there are so many tourists visiting the Castle daily, yet no way to purchase little memories and items to take home to family and friends.

Nice property. Lots of walking trails towards the cave. The castle itself has been stripped bare to accommodate conferences for businesses or weddings. The upper rooms have no access. Nice view of the harbour.

This is a beautifuly preserved castle. It is more of a house than a castle, no defensive features, but it is gorgeous. The gardens are amazing. I spend an hour looking for all the cats hidden in the features. The parkland around it is a great place to walk and hike with friends or family or just go for a nature walk. The views of Belfast are amazing.

"Coffee Shop" needs some improvement but walking round the grounds was pleasant. Arrived in the middle of a charity abseil so the castle was closed. No gift shop to be found? Worth a drive up just for the views of the city.

Visited the castle in December for a short hike recommended on all trails. The views from the trail were majestic - Belfast city and the sea beyond. I was surprised that the castle was open to visitor for free but the trade of being you can see just 1-2 rooms within. The girl at the reception was friendly and the garden outside was pretty. Would visit as it's just a 10 min drive from the city center

Visited Belfast Castle and the drive up the hill was quite interesting. Parking a few hundred meters away was a slight inconvenience. Inside, not much to explore as it's mainly set up for private event. However, the highlight is the beautiful garden—worth a leisurely stroll. The hilltop offers a stunning view of the sea. Overall, a pleasant experience with the captivating garden and scenic vistas.

Gorgeous castle with stunning views. You can visit the first floor for free. 2nd floor was closed due to an event on the day of our visit. Downstairs is a cafe with a mini expo and access to gardens. Very pram friendly and accessible. A must do to anyone visiting Belfast! There are also plenty of trails around the castle but mud proof footwear is a must!

Belfast Castle offered a mixed bag. While the drive up the hill held intrigue, parking was a minor hassle a few hundred meters away. Exploring the interior felt limited due to its primary function for private events. However, the true gem was the captivating garden, perfect for a leisurely stroll and bursting with beauty. The crowning glory? The hilltop's stunning panoramic view of the sea, leaving a lasting impression. Overall, the experience was pleasant, thanks to the enchanting garden and breathtaking scenery.

Entrance if free! Had a lovely time walking around and exploring he grounds and the castle. Had to walk up to the site- but was well worth it! Maybe next time without luggage though... 😁

A gorgeous public garden with a sprawling castle that can be rented for large events such as weddings. The theme of this castle's main garden is cats, see if you can spot the nine references to cats sprinkled throughout the gardens!

Its very good place for hike/walk , you are lucky if there is sunshine. You can-see a bit view of belfast as well. Everything is quite natural along with the entrance there few tracks for hike as well. You can bring your pets but need to be on leash. As they mentioned there as well.

Belfast Castle is such an amazing place to visit as a tourist, lots of historical art and structures. Even though some parts were restricted for entry, it still contains a lot of significant sightseeing both within and outside the premises. The staff were nice, helpful and willing to answer questions.

WON'T TAKE YOU LONG! Belfast Castle is a cool place to visit, and it's the starting point if you want to climb the hill that overlooks the city and the bay. However, it won't take you all that long to see - about 10 minutes tops. There's a small exhibit at the basement level (along with a nice coffee shop), and the ground and first floors are mainly ornate stately-home rooms that you can or can't go inside. It's beautifully decorated with chesterfield chairs etc. But that's all there is. Worth a visit if you're around there, but don't go out of your way to see it.

The wall itself is very interesting but to truly experience and understand it I would highly recommend getting a tour by a local. We did a tour with a local cab company and it was fascinating. We learned so much about the history of Belfast and Northern Ireland, especially about the political and religious divides that have driven such conflict in this area.

We did a Black Cab tour with a very nice older gentleman. It was a very historically educating tour. It was a very sad and dark time in Dublin's past and not that long ago.

It was worth visiting independently. The wall brings it home how the segregation took place. A depressing place to live. The art work was good. The big iron gates to close the road off were very imposing

What an amazing tour! I had no idea all the walls and gates existed and that communities were still segregated. It was a great tour and I’m so glad we took the time to learn about the Peace Wall.

A truly humbling place with living history. I didn't know prior to visiting Belfast that the communities are still divided. The Peace Wall is a reminder of the Troubles as well as parallel conflicts in the world. Visited while on the "Conflicting Stories" walking tour.

We just walked to the peace wall ourselves. It was quite easy to get to it from the city center about a 30 minutes walk, and the art you see along the way absolutely amazing. 🍉

A must for anyone visiting Belfast. A living piece of history worth knowing. Unless you know a lot about it already, I would recommend getting a guided tour. There are some great options available, both walking or by cab.

The Belfast Peace Walls are a must-visit for anyone looking to delve into the rich history of this fascinating city. Standing tall for over three decades, these walls have become a symbol of resilience and a testament to the power of peace. The tour guides are knowledgeable and provide a heartfelt perspective on the city's past, making the experience both educational and emotional. Whether you're a local or just visiting, the Peace Walls are a must-see and an important part of the Belfast experience.

A very good day in Belfast including a visit to The Titanic Experience followed by a Taxi tour of the city courtesy of Patrick Cambell taxis. The tour showed us how each community live in today's times but also facts about the past troubles and the Murals on some of the buildings and also the Solidarity wall and the International peace wall.

If you are from the States then you might be familiar with the Troubles and if so you can visit here on your own. We drove over here and parked the car to sign the wall with a big fat marker that a taxi driver let us use. Driving through the open gates was a surreal moment as back home I have never seen anything like it. One can only imagine what it was like during the height of the conflict and we can hope one day the wall comes down for good.

One of the tallest and longest walls in Europe. This is a place filled with history and it is important to witness this. Visitors have written messages of peace along the wall and it is a gripping place to be.

A great learning experience, it sure opens up your eyes to another part of the world. Worth seeing for yourself. Black Cab tours. Drivers know their history and take you to the best locations and the results that has become a major part of irelands history.

The Peace Wall in Belfast offers a compelling glimpse into the city's complex history, making it an interesting stop for those keen on Belfast's past. However, for visitors less invested in the local history, the wall may not hold the same level of interest, as it primarily caters to those seeking deeper insights into the region's cultural and political evolution.

The Peace Wall at Cupar Way in Belfast, Northern Ireland is 45 ferry trail Ave runs between the Falls and Shankill road. It's the biggest peace wall in Belfast. The wall is three times higher than the Berlin Wall and has been in place twice as long. The first peace walls were built in 1969 after a series of sectarian riots in Belfast. The walls were intended as a temporary measure to keep Republicans and Loyalists apart. However, they were so effective that they were never taken down.

Beautiful but to be honest it's part of a sad story that feels all to close in history.

A very impressive place. It is hard to understand how deep an impression the past still has on the people in Northern Ireland, but here you can feel how real it is. Unfortunately I didn't have the time to book a guided tour, but I've been told that the Black Cab tours are great.

Google Maps didn't show bus routes most of the time, which forced us to change our plans for exploring Belfast City. We ended up walking a lot because we weren't sure which bus stop or route to take. I recommend getting a Visitor Pass 6.5£ / D P/P or Hop-on 20£ P/P to easily cover attractions. If not, using the Translink App helps you navigate Belfast and pay for fares with contactless payments. Currently, you only need to Tap On (no tap off needed) on Belfast Metro services, with a daily cap of £3.70 (Glider integration isn't fully implemented yet). You can also buy a £4.70 Glider+ Metro pass at any bus stop with a ticket vending machine. As mentioned earlier I highly recommend using the Translink App instead of Google Maps, as it was much more reliable during our visit. Google Maps simply wasn't showing bus routes, even though we could see them running. Finally, don't miss Victoria Square, especially the dome on Level 3.

I called at 17.12 and tried to pay cash fir a present for my wife. The nice chap behind the desk said card only before I asked but went away to check. Head Honcho standing 10ft away decreed exact amount only. I lost all my cards yesterday and wanted to pay in euros. I bet ur ahead of me here so you know they do not accept euro. Strange thing is for a tourist office they are also closed Sunday. I bet Head Honcho is first out the door when they close tonight at 5.30. State jobs are great you always get paid win lose or draw.

To me, is So important, to ask for info.. To plan visits inside Belfast & more around. Ex. Giant Causeway plus North. Here, I am Supplied, easily leaflets & make, things easier. Well Done with updates, information staff. ❤️

Really, really helpful staff and a lovely little shop! We left our suitcases here as we came straight into Belfast from the airport and it was so simple and a great price.

Lots of souvenirs, the place to go to find out about tours, walks and the like. Some digital interaction and physical form guide, as well as guides to help. Great staff members if you need some assistance in deciding what to do with your time in Belfast , Starting from Belfast city centre. Tours across northern Ireland, day tours. Game of thrones, titanic history. Plenty of staff members , very knowledgeable. Professional, courteous and patient staff. Please visit. Giants causeway day tour , guided by person not audio. Bushmills whiskey distillery. Much more to see and do.

This is a great visitor information Centre and gift shop. Prices are reasonable and in some cases, cheaper than some markets in town. Not only can you get nice gifts and books from Belfast. But you can also buy tickets for the buses and trains, and get information on public transport, as well as information on Belfast.

Nice to see how it's developing since the troubles taking a taxi tour is really useful

Full of information about your visit to Belfast and Northern Ireland. Recommended to anyone who is visiting the city or surrounding areas. Lots of maps and information available on the best experiences.

The cheapest place to get the black taxi tours and giants causeway. Everything was booked up online when we visited today. The lady at the desk spent lots of time phoning different companies to book us on the tours we wanted to do at the last minute. We would have missed out if we hadn't visited. Much simpler than trying to do via different providers directly.

excellent information given for what to do around Belfast and for further afield in the province. Tours and trips can be booked here and also a small gift shop and the local transport provider ...Translink have an information/ticket sales desk at rear of premises

Really nice place, good organized, with tours information. Very professional staff Grace, give us clear and very useful information. Another extra ✴️ because there is a person who speaks Spanish.

Visiting Belfast and walking through the town was fascinating. My husband and I got to see the city hall and take the black taxi tour with Billy as he explained the history of Belfast. It was a sad to see all the people who loss their life but to see the people there keep the memories alive of the ones who did stand up to injustice was very intriguing and overwhelming to know that these people have to go through so much in their own town. Can't wait to look up the history of it when I get home. If you are a history buff or a traveler this is definitely worth visiting.

Staff lovely , dont have to wait long in the que as there is a fair staff presence. Lots of local products and items. A must for any visitor to Belfast. Especially if your planning a day trip. There is much to offer here. Would be good to see a cafe here or even more sitting space will just put that out there to dry.

My friends and I came here for advice on what to do in Belfast. Philip gave us great advice on a conflict tour and also on places to go for drinks and food. He was very insightful, kind and professional!!! They can also keep your luggage during the day. Thank you Philip!!

I loved the place. Both night and day time, it has its own beauty. Inside museum is different than other museum. It's interesting and the way the entire journey has been planned to showcase is absolutely brilliant. Few of the myth can be clarified. There is a quiz at the end, must attend that to check your knowledge.

Easyjet 3 night holiday -Liverpool to Belfast , March 15th to 18th.Stayed at the Malone hotel a 5 minute bus ride to city centre. Recommend.We explored the city and beyond via taxi, bus, train and walking. Visited Titanic museum, St Patrick's parade, hanging umbrellas, giants causeway, traditional irish pubs, St George Market, city Hall etc.Had one of the most memorable city breaks, not only because of the sights but the people, particularly the bus drivers so helpful and friendly. Recommend the all day bus pass, we travelled for £3.60 each from our hotel to city centre. Shankill Road, back to centre and onto our hotel for our cases and finally airport on our last day....the buses run frequently and are very clean. Being March it was wet, cold and dreary But the people of Belfast give you a very warm welcome . Highly recommend 👌

The staff here are really knowledgable, helpful and full of ideas for one and two day itineraries in and around Belfast. The welcome centre also offers left luggage for £4.

Besides staff helping tourists, there is a very good gift shop and a very helpful bus information counter. A good street-map is available, as well as many brochures.
