A Brief History
Located on the eastern coast of Northern Ireland is the capital city of Belfast. A place of rich and diverse history, Belfast has been a popular place for visitors and locals for many years. The city is home to a large number of historical locations, such as Titanic Belfast, where you can learn all about the ill-fated luxury liner in the city it was built in. Take a trip to the Edwardian Belfast City Hall, offering guided tours and a botanical garden, or perhaps you’d prefer visiting the Romanesque and stunning St. Anne’s Cathedral. Today, we will be collecting a short list of historic locations to visit in and around the city of Belfast.

Unique Historic Sites in Belfast
Perhaps you’d rather visit somewhere a little different, somewhere only available in Belfast. On Falls Road and Shankill Road, you’ll find the Peace Walls and Murals. These politically charged murals tell the story of Belfast’s conflict and peace process. The Stormont Estate is the seat of the Northern Ireland Assembly, and offers stunning architecture as well as beautiful grounds to explore. For something a little more cultured, make sure to visit the Grand Opera House, where you can catch a play, an opera or another live performance.
