Linen, Ships and Millies Self Guided Belfast Tour

2 to 3 hours (approximately)
Offered in: German and 6 more

Belfast City Hall was crafted by the same artisans who shaped Titanic’s grand lounges — and inside, a whispering gallery once carried the private words of politicians across its dome. This self-guided tour lets you uncover these connections at your own rhythm, from the cobbled alley where Snow Patrol first performed beneath bright umbrellas to the Big Fish sculpture, its ceramic scales etched with fragments of the city’s story.

Follow Belfast’s rise from muddy riverside settlement to “Linenopolis,” hear of Mary Ann McCracken walking her brother to the gallows, and find out why the Albert Clock leans four feet off balance. The walk ends at the Crown Liquor Saloon, where revenge was hidden in plain sight.

Start whenever you like, pause for a pint, and continue offline — rain or shine. Over 20,000 travelers have already explored this way, backed by a full refund guarantee.
