Review of Belfast (Ireland)

BRILLIANT BELFAST

Advantages: Wonderful Entertainment, friendly people, magical history
Disadvantages: A lot of time is needed to see all there is to see

Everywhere in and around Belfast was great. Magical atmosphere and wonderful people. The City is aimed at Tourists and the tours along both Shankill and Falls Roads are great. The murals on the houses on both sides are beautiful and powerful. The peace wall, which divides these two roads is a reminder of how bad things were but now the City is at peace, as much as it can be. Belfast castle was beautiful, such a lot of interesting history surrounding ...

Shopping in Belfast

Advantages: Variety of shops and 'high street' brand
Disadvantages: Pretty small

Belfast city center has undergone growth in recent years leading to a more commercialized shopping area. It wasn't that long ago that many big name companies simply wouldn't bring their businesses to Belfast, what with the troubles and all. More stable times have brought a huge variety of shops, supermarkets and malls back to the streets of Belfast. As far as city centers go Belfast's is not that big, it is centralized in a number of key streets ...
...Before the onslaught of commercialization Belfast achieved most of its trade in shops on the high street and in small indoor markets. Today you can still find indoor markets such as Smithfield, St George's Market and The In-Shops. Situated in West Street / Winetavern Street, Smithfield Market is located in the heart of Belfast's retail district. The Market is opposite the CastleCourt shopping complex which links into the Royal Avenue and Donegall ...
