Belfast Activities

Titanic Belfast

Titanic tales at the world-famous Titanic Belfast.

Titanic Belfast is a world-renowned visitor attraction located in Belfast, Northern Ireland, on the site of the former Harland & Wolff shipyard, where the RMS Titanic was designed and built. The building, which opened in 2012, is an iconic structure with a striking, modern design inspired by the shape of a ship's hull.

Culture & Nightlife

Stroll through the vibrant Cathedral Quarter, a lively and historic district in Belfast, brimming with culture, creativity, and a thriving nightlife scene. 

By day, explore galleries, independent shops, and cultural venues, such as the MAC (Metropolitan Arts Centre), which hosts contemporary art exhibitions, theatre performances, and live music. The area is also known for its cafés and artisan coffee shops, perfect for a relaxing break.

As evening falls, the Cathedral Quarter transforms into a hub of nightlife, offering an array of cosy pubs, stylish cocktail bars, and lively music venues. Enjoy traditional Irish music sessions in historic pubs like The Duke of York, sip craft cocktails at trendy spots like The Merchant Hotel, or catch live comedy and theatre performances at The Black Box.
