Belfast - the capital of Northern Ireland, meaning “The sandy ford at the river mouth” in Irish, is the largest city in Northern Ireland, and the second-largest on the island of Ireland after Dublin.
As a city, Belfast is compact and intimate, with a rich
legacy of Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian architecture
as well as cutting edge contemporary design and a vibrant
city centre.
Since the Good Friday Agreement in 1998, the darkest moment of Belfast has long gone. Today’s Belfast can lead to places with surprise and delight such as exploring the handsome Victorian Heritage, the Titanic Quarter, the new Odyssey complex and the Waterfront Hall.
Tourists should take care to avoid the "control
zones" where parking is in any case prohibited;
unattended vehicles may be treated as suspicious and
dealt with accordingly. Drivers should be prepared for
the occasional vehicle check and pedestrians, whether
local people or visitors, may be asked for proof of
identity.
