This panoramic drive through the city will introduce you to the many and varied features of Northern Ireland's largest city -- its industry and elegance, a rich and diverse past, and 19th-century buildings that tell of its prosperous heyday.
See the Grand Opera House and the Albert Memorial before passing Queen's University and the Botanic Gardens.
You will drive past Belfast City Hall -- an impressive building with a 300-foot-long façade of Portland stone. Pause here to photograph a marble figure of Thane on a granite pedestal. Sculpted by Sir Thomas Brock, this figure commemorates the 1912 sinking of the Belfast-built ocean liner Titanic.
Travel a short distance outside the city to see Stormont, seat of the Northern Ireland Assembly -- a symbol of progress from Northern Ireland's troubled past.
At Cave Hill, you will view Belfast Castle, one of the city's most celebrated landmarks. Don't miss the splendid views of Belfast Lough and the city below you. Mac Art's Fort, a rock where United Irishmen planned the rebellion of 1795, overlooks the castle.
