Feb 18, 2020 · Boasting everything from cobbled streets to tree lined alleys and even a blanket of yellow umbrellas to walk beneath, Belfast has it all. Whether you’re looking for somewhere to go to snap a cute picture or just want to see the best-looking places in the city, here is a list of our top five prettiest streets in Belfast.
- Cathedral Quarter: best neighborhood for nightlife and the arts. The Cathedral Quarter, on the fringes of Belfast city center, takes its name from St Anne’s Cathedral, an early 20th-century Romanesque Revival edifice characterized by its rounded arches and turrets.
- City Center: best neighborhood for shopping, markets and architecture. The city center unfurls outwards from Belfast City Hall, arguably the Northern Irish capital’s finest architectural glory: a Baroque-inspired building of Portland stone, surmounted by mint green domes and festooned with religious iconography.
- Titanic Quarter: best neighborhood for history, walking and family outings. Thanks to one of the largest urban waterfront regeneration projects in Europe, Belfast’s Titanic Quarter – nestled by the docks where the eponymous and ill-fated sea liner was constructed – has burgeoned into one of its most popular neighborhoods.
- Ormeau: best neighborhood for cafes and pubs. Gentrification has been common in post-Troubles Belfast, and perhaps nowhere has benefited more from it in recent years than the Ormeau (pronounced “or-mo”) Road.
