things to do in belfast northern ireland  victoria square shopping

We stumbled upon this Belfast attraction by accident. Wanting to take a shortcut back to our hotel, we noticed Victoria Square among the walking streets of downtown Belfast. Located in the heart of Belfast City Centre, Victoria Square was a lovely shopping centre with name-brand stores in a covered gallery.

When we entered the modern shopping center we noticed a high-tech dome in its center. We’d already been walking a lot that day and were happy to see an elevator to the top. We came out to a panoramic view of the city of Belfast.

13. Victoria Square lookout

There are in-house tour guides to offer guidance on the sights, but luckily for us, there was a local man with his daughter up there with us who pointed out Belfast attractions such as Belfast City Hall, and The Titanic Quarter, and Cave Hill. It’s free to enter and one of the things to do in Belfast that we highly recommend.

From the Victoria Square lookout, we had a panoramic view of Belfast city and the surrounding area. You can walk up or take the elevator to the top of the lookout.

14. Black Taxi Tour

things to do in belfast northern ireland black cab tour

During our first trip to Belfast, we took a Black Taxi political tour through Shankhill Roads and Falls Road. This was a fascinating tour through the Catholic and Protestant neighborhoods of Belfast that is still divided today. The 25-foot-high walls divide the areas where strong lines are drawn between Loyalists and nationalists.

The gates are still locked today and since the 1998 Good Friday Agreement agreement, there have been more walls built to divide territories. The walls are called Peace Walls which are designed to keep the peace in the neighborhoods. There is a tenuous peace between the two communities in Northern Ireland, and they still feel the division but these walls keep that feeling of safety. Book your tour at TouringBelfast.com

15. Taxi Tour Today

We took another tour this summer and noticed a difference from our Black Taxi Tour a few years ago. Today, our drive didn’t focus as much on the political tour as he did on talking about positive messages. While the murals are still standing, there seemed to be fewer than we remember.

Our driver said that they are trying to create new role models and build the community. It was good to take two different tours, as the Black Taxi tours don’t only focus on politics. We went through all the quarters of Belfast getting an overview of the city which helped us get our bearings and navigate where to go next on our own.

16. Crumlin Road Gaol (Jail)

Crumlin Road Gaol

One of the places you’ll drive by during your taxi tours is the Crumlin Road Gaol, but make sure to go back and visit it properly. Gaol is the word for jail in Gaelic. This was a working jail up until 1996 and both republican and loyalist prisoners were held here including women and children.

Here, we learned where the phrase, “take him down originated” The Crumlin Road Gaol is located directly across from the Crumlin Road Courthouse. When a person was condemned, they were taken down to an underground tunnel connected directly to the jail. Your visit includes a walk to this tunnel. You’ll also see the prison cells and execution cells where the majority of the 17 men were executed.

17. Street Murals and Political Murals

things to do in belfast northern ireland political murals

One of the best ways to see the political murals is to take a black taxi political tour, but we have also explored them on our own. During our first visit to Belfast more than a decade ago, the Shankhill and Falls Roads murals were all political murals, but they are now interspersed with street art and positive messages of looking forward while still paying tribute to the past and those who gave their lives for their cause.

The murals play an important part in Belfast culture depicting historic events from Shankhill road to Clonard Martyrs Memorial Gardens and the walls along Falls Road. We got in our rental car and drove around the neighborhoods in search of murals and memorials. One of the easiest ways to find murals we didn’t know of was to look for the black taxis. They were pretty easy to find.

If you don’t have a rental car, this tour is a great option when visiting Belfast to learn the story of “The Troubles” and events in Northern Ireland’s tumultuous history. You’ll discover the Belfast murals and go through the former conflict areas of The Falls and Shankill Road.

In fact, the Lanyon Building is often seen in advertising for Northern Ireland Tourism.

As with the case of visiting so many cities, we love strolling university grounds. They are the heartbeat of the city with gorgeous architecture and Queen’s University in Belfast, reminded us a bit of Queen’s University in Kingston Ontario.

Derry ended up being one of our favorite places to visit in Northern Ireland and it can be done on a day trip from Belfast.

Derry was ground zero for the troubles and when walking through the Bogside area of Derry, you’ll still see murals and monuments to victims of Bloody Sunday and the conflict.

The walls of Derry are our favourite Londonderry attraction. It surrounded the city centre and is considered one of the best preserved walled city in Europe. A visit to Derry is a fascinating way to learn about Northern Ireland’s history.
