   • Dive into Belfast’s history at the Titanic Belfast museum. The Titanic Belfast museum, rising in star-like fashion from the grounds of Harland and Wolff shipyard, is much more than a mere maritime showcase.
   • Watch a show at the theater. Belfast’s murky past has ensured that art and tragedy (and indeed comedy) deeply intersect, and perhaps nowhere is this more apparent than at the Lyric Theatre.
   • Go for a hike up Cave Hill. When the weather’s on your side (invariably difficult to predict, irrespective of the season) take a hike up Cave Hill which rises to a humble height of 368m (1207ft) above the low-lying city.
   • Visit Westeros in Belfast. Film and TV have become major pillars of the Northern Irish economy, and the primary catalyst for this was HBO’s Game of Thrones, with on-site filming locations littered across the country and major scenes shot on studio sets in Belfast.

   When did Belfast become a city?

   • Belfast’s modern history began in 1611 when Baron Arthur Chichester built a new castle there. He did much to encourage the growth of the town, which received a charter of incorporation in 1613. Belfast survived the Irish insurrection of 1641, and by 1685 it had a population of about 2,000, largely engaged in brick, rope, net, and sailcloth making.
