The Titanic Quarter

When RMS Titanic sailed away on her maiden voyage on April 10th, 1912, she was hailed as ‘the new wonder of the world’. A remarkable feat of engineering, she was the largest and most luxuriously appointed ship ever seen and, despite her tragic sinking five days later, she remains a source of enduring pride in the City where she was built – Belfast. You can learn about Titanic itself, from the visionaries who conceived her, to the men who designed and built her, to her ill-fated maiden voyage.

Cathedral Quarter takes its name from St. Anne’s Cathedral, the ecclesiastical heart of the city and is packed full of fascinating architecture, ranging from distinguished banks and public buildings, to cosy pubs and trendy warehouse restaurants. Some of these, such as the Custom House, occupy prominent public locations. But other equally intriguing buildings are tucked away down the narrow cobbled streets and alleyways that give the area its intimate charm.

The Gaeltacht Quarter  

Belfast dates back to an ancient fort which once controlled the ford across the river Lagan. In fact the name of the city is derived from the Gaelic Béal Feirste roughly translated as “the mouth of the sandbank” Nowhere is this historical legacy more potent and vibrant than along the Falls Road where the Irish language has flourished, igniting a range of 21st century cultural experiences. This area is the Gaeltacht Quarter.
