Belfast
Belfast, the town that built the Titanic, was the only city in Ireland which experienced the Industrial Revolution.
The world’s largest dry dock is located in Belfast and the giant shipyard cranes are still part of the sky line. There are many attractive Victorian and Edwardian buildings with elaborate sculptures over doors and windows. Stone-carved heads of gods and poets, scientists, kings and queens peer down from the high ledges of banks and old linen warehouses. The best place to get your bearings in Belfast is the Belfast City Hall which is located on Donegal Square. The southern part of the city is dotted with restaurants, pubs and accommodation along with a theatre and cinema. You will also find the beautiful Botanic Gardens and the Ulster Museum which is well worth a visit. Opposite the Botanic Gardens is Queens University which was built in 1849 by Charles Lanyon who designed many other fine buildings in Belfast.
