Social Event: Tour of Belfast
Discover something new about the buzzing capital city on a hop-on-hop-off bus tour.
Beginning at Queen’s University, situated in a tree lined Victorian suburb renowned for its restaurants, bars, theatres and fine architecture. The Lanyon Building, designed by Sir Charles Lanyon, is at the heart of the University, and the focus of the Queen's area. The old college is the high point of Early Victorian designing achievement in the north of Ireland, and arguably Ulster's finest architectural set piece.
Some places of interest in Belfast include The Waterfront, a congress and arts centre which has been recognised as the best conference centre in Europe. The law courts, once encased in high security fences, boast new glass-fronted buildings, an impossibility during the long-standing troubles of the province which saw frequent bombings.
The Shankill and the Falls Districts; two areas sitting side-by-side, still struggling to come to terms with years of fighting, injustice and sadness. You will be given a brief tour of the famous political murals in these areas.
Campbell College is a highly regarded boys’ grammar school where playwright and poet Samuel Beckett and author CS Lewis were taught. The gas lamppost on the school drive is thought to have been the inspiration for children’s classic, “The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.”
Another great outdoor location and striking city backdrop is Cavehill. It provides stunning views across the city, and the nearby Belfast Castle.
