Belfast on foot

Beacon of Hope sculpture in Belfast

On our last day in Belfast, we decided to tour the city. First, we went to the impressive City Hall https://www.belfastcity.gov.uk/tourism-venues/cityhall/cityhallhistory.aspx , which had a decent museum about the history of the city and its people (helpful because it was Monday and the other museums were closed, apparently their dark day).

We then walked down by the water, then to Belfast Cathedral (also known as St. Anne’s) https://www.belfastcathedral.org/ and the nearby Writer’s Square with quotes from various Irish writers printed in the walkway.

We finished our afternoon by taking a city bus up to Belfast castle https://www.belfastcastle.co.uk/, which has great views and seems to be mostly an event venue now. For dinner we returned to Brennan’s bar for more fish and chips! (and Guinness and cider!)
