Belfast City Hall
A magnificent sight, especially when viewed from Royal Avenue, this imposing Portland stone and copper-domed building was completed in 1906 as a symbol of Belfast’s new city status. Queen Victoria stands at the front, and the grounds are dotted with many more statues and monuments, details of which can be found on a large map at the gates. In 1995 the building provided a dramatic backdrop when President Clinton switched on the city’s Christmas lights. A recent £11m refurbishment programme has seen the old girl spruced up and ready, once again, to receive visitors. Check out The Bobbin cafe, whose name reflects Belfast’s linen-making past, and No Mean City exhibition. And take a free 45min guided tour for a behind the scenes glimpse at this iconic building.

Clifton house
Clifton House (1774) is where the history of Belfast begins! Originally opened as a Poor House thousands of people; locals, young and old and passing sailors, sought sanctuary within its walls.

Visit Clifton Street Cemetery, the resting place of Mary Ann & Henry Joy McCracken; poets and artists; American slaves; wealthy families buried alongside the victims of the Famine.

Harbour Commissioners Office
The earliest building (east front) was designed in 1854 by the Board engineer George Smith with a clock tower to regulate sailings. The second phase in 1895 (Corporation Square) contains the splendid public rooms; the modern office block was added in 1970.
The headquarters of the Harbour Commissioners, responsible for overseeing the development and running of Belfast Port, has on show the magnificent captain’s table and chairs which Gilbert Logan designed for Titanic, but which were delivered just too late (it is said they were subsequently shipped to Southampton, just in time to see Titanic disappear on the horizon). Lord Pirrie, himself a Harbour Commissioner, would have been a frequent, and persuasive, presence in the boardroom. Nearby, are two restored graving docks used by William Ritchie, Belfast’s first major shipbuilder.

Stormont Estate
Stormont Castle was built in 1858 in baronial style, complete with turrets, battlements and conical caps. Its flamboyant exterior is said to have inspired that of Scotland’s Balmoral Castle. After surviving demolition plans in 1921, the Castle became the official residence of the NI Prime Minister and, in today’s devolved NI Assemby, houses the Office of the First Minister and Deputy First Minister. The building is not accessible by the general public (except during Sept’s Heritage Open Days). Still, it’s nice to admire from behind the security barrier.

Ulster Museum
As make-overs go, this £17m, three-year revamp of one of the city’s most beloved landmarks is a real stunner. Once inside the curious hybrid of 1960s concrete and neo-classical architecture, a gleaming 23m high atrium reveals glimpses into three specially created Zones covering four levels.
As you navigate the glass and steel walkways, keep an eye on the equally grand-scale Window on Our World gallery where iconic objects from each Zone – including a 6m long Edmontosaurus dinosaur skeleton – further fuel the imagination.
Then spend the day exploring those History, Art and Nature Zones, where a bona fide Egyptian mummy, dazzling collection of Spanish Armada gold and Peter the Polar Bear (don’t worry, it’s stuffed) are among the myriad of unmissable attractions

Custom House Square

Gaeltacht Quarter
Recent political history dominates West Belfast and the Gaeltacht Quarter, and many oversea visitors are amazed at how close the Nationalist Falls and Unionist Shankill Roads are – a walk along connecting Lanark Way takes you to the Peace Wall. This West Belfast Map takes you on a journey along the main sights in and around the Falls Road: Until 2005 the top two floors of Divis Tower (1) were used for surveillance by the British Army. Coiste Political Tours leave from its base Mon-Sat 11am and Sun 2pm. St. Peter’s Cathedral (2) was built in the Gothic Revival style and its twin spires can be seen across the city.
The International Wall (3) is a constantly changing tableau of global conflicts and issues with particular support among the community. Falls Remembrance Garden (4) commemorates those who have died or been imprisoned for political reasons as far back as 1921. Conway Mill (5) is a 19th century linen mill and listed building now used as a community and arts hub. A cafe, craft shops and Irish Republican History Museum are located inside. The famous Bobby Sands Mural (6) is on the side of the Sinn Fein offices. Clonard Monastery (7) boasts magnificent mosaics and a 6m-wide stained-glass rose window. It is home to the Catholic order of Redemptorists and, in 1994, staged secret talks leading to the IRA cessation. An Cultúrlann (9) contains a theatre, gallery, restaurant and shop across its three
floors. Visit its Tourist Information Office for lots more information on accommodation, attractions, tours and events including August’s West Belfast Festival (Féile an Phobail).At 37.5m high, Rise (10) is Belfast’s largest public art sculpture and know locally as the Balls on the Falls. The James Connolly Plaque (11) marks this famous Irish Nationalist and 1916 Easter Rising hero’s former home. Cross-denominational City Cemetery (12) has many industrial, religious and political leaders among its 250,000 graves, and a sunken wall divides Protestant and Catholic plots. Bog Meadows Nature Reserve (13) and Falls Park (14), with its playground and Playing Fields, are among the Quarter’s finest green spaces. Milltown Cemetery (15) is Belfast’s main Catholic cemetery and contains thousands of graves and memorials.

The Gasworks
The Gasworks distinctive funnel and clock tower mark the place where the city’s gas-making industry began production in the 19th century. The area offers a quiet place to escape from the bustle of the nearby city centre and makes an ideal starting point for a pleasant walk or cycle along the River Lagan towards Donegall Quay or upstream towards the Lagan Towpath and Lagan Valley Regional Park.
Gasworks has been the site of Belfast’s gas-making industry since the 19th century. The site, built on ground owned by the Marquis of Donegall, opened in 1822 and supplied gas for street lighting and domestic and industrial use.
Belfast Corporation (now the Belfast City Council) used their profits from the gas industry to pay for the construction of Belfast City Hall, which opened in 1906.
By the end of World War II in 1945, around 120,000 people were using gas from the Gasworks site. However, by the 1960s, demand declined as new technologies began to emerge and production finally stopped altogether in 1985.
The Gasworks site was purchased by the council, together with central government and the Laganside Corporation, in the early 1990s. The land was considered unsuitable for most uses, due to contamination, but a major refurbishment programme, part-funded by the European Union, soon turned the area into a modern business park.
