Did you know?
The name Belfast originates from the Irish Béal Feirste, which means “mouth of the River Farset”. But this original river has long been superseded in Belfast by the River Lagan and has fallen into obscurity. Bridge Street in the city center indicates where there was originally a bridge across the Farset.

Belfast City

Rejuvenated and revived, Belfast is a buzzing city with a unique atmosphere that’s well worth a visit

Culture

Belfast Festivals

If there’s a city that knows how to throw a festival, it’s Belfast. As well as the Belfast Festival – Ireland’s largest arts festival featuring arts, jazz, blues, dance, classical and film – you can hang with film types at the internationally renowned Belfast Film Festival, or enjoy a rake of arty carry-on in off-beat locations at the hugely entertaining Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival.

Grand Opera House

Catch a first-rate show in Belfast’s lavish 1894 opera house. The varied program includes a wide selection of drama, musicals, opera, ballet and comedy.

International Rose Week

Get up close to one of the world’s most romantic flowers at the fantastic Rose Week. There’s a blooming display of over 45,000 roses at Sir Thomas and Lady Dixon Park.

Waterfront Hall

The newly developed Waterfront Hall is a glistening, modern center for culture and entertainment in one of Belfast’s smartest new areas.
