We will meet outside Ulster Hall at the designated time to begin this guided tour. This area transitioned from a thriving linen industry in the 1800s to a bustling city centre today. The tour highlights its past and present, featuring iconic venues such as the Grand Opera House and hidden gems, with stories reflecting 250 years of history.

You will learn about the city's largest bell and the reasons for its temporary silence. The tour covers the significance of the linen industry in the city’s development, including locations where workers once took their weekly baths prior to modern amenities. Today, the area is a vibrant hospitality zone with popular venues, pubs, and restaurants.

Belfast is also known for its street art that adorns buildings. During the tour, we will admire the impressive architecture, famous entertainment venues, unique bars, and quirky shops.

After 2 hours, the walking tour concludes at Flaxx, a trendy area in the city centre.
