Belfast - Fresh and Waiting to be Re-Discovered.

The people of Belfast are genuinely proud to live in an up-and-coming city and to share its upbeat, optimistic energy and its tangible sense of renewal with visitors.
The years of investment in preparation for a lasting peace - the new hotels, the fresh, exciting attractions, the world-class entertainment venues - are now paying tourism dividends. So ordinary citizens are taking pride in showing off their city's fresh, if unfamiliar, face to the world.

Here are a few of the pleasant surprises in store for first-time visitors: A metropolitan lifestyle of great quality; Superb sightseeing and shopping; Great places to eat, drink and stay; First-class leisure facilities. And an outstanding programme of all-year-round events make Belfast one of the great little cities of Europe waiting to be discovered.

Most of the popular visitor attractions, museums and galleries are free; theatre, sports and concert tickets are reasonably priced - and it's possible to enjoy an entertaining night out in a music pub for the price of a drink. The craic is great: Belfast's utterly unique bars are where the beer and stout are chilled in summer, the welcome is warm all year - and the craic is mighty night and day!
