Belfast city centre. |

Belfast
Castle, not much as castles go but with a great
view over Belfast. It's a very popular venue for weddings. |
 |
Belfast City
Hall. There is a very informative and free tour
around the inside every weekday. |
| |
Cave
Hill, in the same area as Belfast Castle but much higher up. You
can park at the castle and walk up but if you want a much
less strenuous route, it's possible to drive around the side
of the hill and start your walk from a point much closer to
the top (it's just off the road to Glengormley). |
 |
The Odyssey
centre which hosts the W5 hands-on science experience centre
for kids, an IMAX theatre, several night clubs and is host
to the Belfast
Giants ice hockey team. |

Public Records
Office, one of the main family history sites in
the province. If you're tracing your roots and get back to 1922 then
it's often necessary to request the documents from the
General Register Office
in Dublin; however copies of most documents relating to the
area that is now Northern Ireland are housed here. You can't
actually get copies of birth certificates here; they are
obtained at the
General Register Office. |
 |
Queen's University,
one of two universities in the province, the other being the
University of Ulster
which has campuses at Jordanstown, Coleraine and Magee. |
 |
Stormont Estate, containing Parliament Buildings
(pictured here) and
Stormont Castle (not accessible by the public). |
| |
Ulster
Museum, varied collections with a permanent
display of the history of Northern Ireland |
