This city is steeped in history which is apparent in the architecture of some of its city centre buildings like The City Hall in Donegall Square, the Albert Memorial, St. Anne's Cathedral with its fine 1920's mosaics, and Clifton House, Belfast's oldest public building. Some of Belfast's grandest buildings are banks - the interior of the Ulster Bank (1860) is like a Venetian palace.

Exploring Belfast city centre for shops can be a very pleasant experience while on a short trip to Belfast, as it boasts an excellent variety of local specialist shops and high street chain-stores. The main shopping area in the city is around Donegall Place, most of which has restricted traffic flow.

Belfast's cultural scene has leaped forward with the grand opening of the new magnificent concert and conference centre, Waterfront Hall, where major stars from all over the world perform regularly.

For a taste the history of the city, some of the city's leading museums are well worth a visit, such as the Ulster Museum, or the Ormeau Baths Gallery, which exhibits the work of artists from all over Europe.
