About Belfast
Belfast, Northern Ireland is a remarkable and deeply moving city situated at the head of Belfast Lough where the River Lagan meets the sea in the northeast of Ireland, approximately 170 kilometres north of Dublin and 210 kilometres southwest of Glasgow, and serves as the capital and largest city of Northern Ireland — a city that has accomplished one of the most extraordinary and courageous urban transformations in the history of the United Kingdom, emerging from three decades of the Troubles with a resilience, a warmth, a dark and self-aware humour, and a civic ambition that have made it one of the most compelling and most visited destinations in these islands, a place whose complex and painful history is confronted with an honesty and a humanity that make every visit a genuinely affecting and intellectually enriching experience.
Belfast's industrial heritage is of world-historical significance — the city's shipyards, dominated by Harland and Wolff whose iconic yellow cranes Samson and Goliath remain the most recognizable landmarks on the Belfast skyline, were among the most productive and technically accomplished in the world, launching the Olympic-class liners that represented the pinnacle of Edwardian maritime engineering. The RMS Titanic, the most famous ship ever built, was designed and constructed at the Harland and Wolff yards in Belfast between 1909 and 1911, and the Titanic Belfast museum — opened in 2012 on the centenary of the sinking and built on the very slipways where the ship was constructed — is the most visited tourist attraction on the island of Ireland and one of the finest and most emotionally powerful heritage museums in the world, its six floors of immersive exhibitions bringing the story of the ship's design, construction, launch, and loss to life with a technical depth and a human sensitivity that are simply outstanding.
The Troubles — the thirty-year conflict between republican and loyalist communities that claimed over 3,500 lives between 1968 and 1998 — have left a physical and emotional landscape of extraordinary complexity and power in Belfast, most visibly in the Peace Walls that still divide republican and loyalist neighbourhoods in west Belfast and in the extraordinary political murals of the Falls Road and Shankill Road whose vivid imagery of conflict, commemoration, and aspiration constitute one of the most significant bodies of political street art in the world. The Black Taxi tours of the murals, conducted by drivers from both communities with a candour, a personal depth, and a dark humour that are entirely and unmistakably Belfast, offer one of the most honest and humanly rich heritage experiences available in any city in Britain or Ireland, a conversation about history, identity, and the possibility of peace that leaves no visitor unchanged.
Top attractions include the world-class Titanic Belfast museum, the political murals and Peace Walls of west Belfast, the magnificent Victorian Grand Opera House, the outstanding Ulster Museum in the beautiful Botanic Gardens, the vibrant Cathedral Quarter with its outstanding live music venues and independent restaurants, the stunning Crown Liquor Saloon — a magnificent Victorian gin palace of extraordinary decorative richness preserved by the National Trust — and exceptional access to the Causeway Coastal Route, one of the most scenic drives in Europe, leading north to the extraordinary Giant's Causeway, the UNESCO World Heritage Site of 40,000 interlocking basalt columns whose geometric perfection and dramatic coastal setting make it the most visited natural attraction in Ireland.
With its world-class Titanic heritage, profound and honestly confronted Troubles history, magnificent Victorian architecture, outstanding Ulster Museum, vibrant Cathedral Quarter, and a Belfast warmth, wit, and resilience that make it one of the most immediately and genuinely welcoming cities in these islands, Belfast is a Northern Irish capital of extraordinary human depth and enduring spirit.
Its airport codes are BFS (Belfast International Airport) and BHD (George Best Belfast City Airport).
