Contrasts of Belfast | Walking Tour

Step into Belfast’s story—a city where Victorian grandeur meets bold modern creativity.

From Queen Victoria’s enduring legacy to the mystery-laden Masonic Hall, history is written in stone and symbol. Public art like The Spirit of Belfast and the beloved Big Fish weave tales of industry, heritage, and imagination. In Joy’s Entry, centuries-old walls now pulse with vibrant street art, while the Cathedral Quarter’s murals capture conflict, community, and change. Landmarks like the leaning Albert Clock and majestic St Anne’s Cathedral embody a city that honours its past while looking ahead—a place of beauty, resilience, and endless visual surprises.
