Belfast City Sightseeing Tour - City Sightseeing
Come and visit this exciting capital city of Northern Ireland!
We offer a fascinating and enjoyable open top trip around this complex, intriguing and lively city. Belfast is the second largest city in Ireland and from a chequered past has now become a lively, vibrant city.
This is the home of ill-fated liner HMS Titanic as well as world famous novelist C.S. Lewis. Other areas to visit are the Neo-Romanesque St Anne’s Cathedral, the Albert Memorial Clock, Writers Square, City Hall, the Botanical Gardens and the Linen Hall Library.
These are just a few of the many great features of this proud city. If you enjoy your nightlife then Belfast is the city for you. For a cracking night out head to the ever popular University Quarter: this lively and bustling place is teeming with pubs, bistros, café bars, Queen’s film theatre and the Belfast Empire.
This is a hop on and off tour and Belfast is ideal in that it is compact and easily accessible on foot. In fact, you can only have a short walk to many of these places of interest.
A trip to Belfast would not be complete with a look at its troubled past. Northern Ireland is famous for its large scale murals which cover whole walls at the end of rows of terrace housing. These depict the political issues over the years, with both Protestant and Catholic views on show. The Catholic Falls Road and the Protestant Shanklin Road are home to the ‘peace lines’ between the two communities.
Despite its rather fearsome reputation Belfast has been reborn and is now one of the most popular places to visit. It has changed from a run-down, challenging place to a city which regularly features in any list of recommended city breaks. It is now considered to be one of the top 10 safest cities to live in the UK.
