Itinerary

Grand Opera House

Passing by

Start your walk at the Grand Opera House. Just open Ciceru nearby to begin exploring its ornate Victorian exterior, where Frank Matcham’s dramatic façade and Eastern inspired details tell the full story from the street without going inside.
Stop 2

Passing by

View the Crown Liquor Saloon from the pavement and admire its polychrome tiles, stained glass and carved woodwork through the windows. Its Victorian snugs and Italian craftsmanship can be appreciated entirely from the exterior.
Belfast City Hall

Passing by

Stand before City Hall and take in its copper dome, Portland stone façade and statues across the gardens. The monumentality and civic symbolism are all visible from outside, making this a complete open air stop.
Kelly's Cellars

Passing by

Pause outside Kelly’s Cellars and observe its low slung 1720 structure, stone walls and modest frontage. The pub’s revolutionary past is embedded in its exterior form, which has barely changed in three centuries.
Stop 5

10 min

Walk through the Cathedral Quarter and experience the murals, painted walls and creative façades from the public streets. The evolving street art is fully open air and meant to be viewed from the outside.
Stop 6

Passing by

Admire St. Anne’s Cathedral from Donegall Street. The Neo Romanesque stonework, sculpted doorway and the stainless steel Spire of Hope rising from the roof create a complete outdoor viewing experience.
Albert Memorial Clock Tower

Passing by

Stand in Queen’s Square and take in the leaning clocktower from the outside. Its French Gothic design, embedded carvings and distinctive tilt are best observed from street level.
Stop 8

10 min

Wrap up your tour at the Big Fish beside the River Lagan. View the ceramic sculpture, its historical tiles and riverfront setting from the promenade before ending your walk.
