A village in the 17th century, Belfast today is a thriving metropolis
of nearly half a million people, one third of Northern Ireland's
population. The development of industries like linen, rope making and
shipbuilding doubled the size of the town every ten years. The world's
largest dry dock is here and the shipyard's giant cranes tower over the
port. Today the city and the riverfront are again being transformed.
Much of the city centre is now pleasantly pedestrianised, with benches
where you can sit and listen to the street musicians.
If you're in Belfast a
visit to Belfast Castle and it's grounds on the slopes of Cavehill
overlooking Belfast Lough is a must!

Belfast City is renowned for it's wide selection of shops and malls.
The main shopping area is around Donegal Place opposite the City Hall
