Belfast Linen Neighbourhood

We will meet outside Ulster Hall at the specified time to start the guided tour. This area has transitioned from a thriving linen industry in the 1800s to a bustling city centre today. During the tour, we'll discover its unique past and present, passing iconic sites like the Grand Opera House and lesser-known gems. Our guide will share stories covering 250 years of history.

You will learn about the largest bell in the city and its history, including when it was silenced. The tour will also touch on the linen industry's role in the city's development, including where workers would bathe before modern conveniences. Today, the area features a vibrant hospitality scene with popular venues, pubs, restaurants, and bars.

Belfast is known for its incredible street art that adorns its buildings. We will admire the architecture, entertainment venues, quaint bars, and quirky shops during our exploration.

After 2 hours, we will conclude the walking tour in Flaxx, a trendy area in the city centre. Until next time!
