The small town of Belfast on the banks of the river Lagan got its charter from King James 1 back in 1613. We trace the history of Belfast from that smelly little trading town through to the golden age of empire when Belfast was a leading City of the Victorian age. We learn about the people who made the city great and the workers who produced the Linen and built the ships. Learn about the creators of the Titanic and the legacy they left to our City. We look at their buildings and also explore the periods of emigration from Ulster to the US. Over 20m US citizens can claim Ulster-Scots roots and over 30m US citizens can claim Irish heritage. We finish our tour at the beautiful City Hall built to reflect Belfast becoming a City in 1888 .
Starting point for the tour is on the banks of the River Lagan or the world famous Belfast Eurpa Hotel. We view the Titanic quarter across the river and look at the earliest roots of Ship Building in Belfast. We continue through the Old Town where we pass the Corn Exchange, home to the Ulster Scots Museum. We pass along the cobbled streets and have an optional stop for coffee or something stronger at an old city bar where we view Murals telling stories of Belfast. Walk through one of the old entries that used to lead from the dockside to the town center. As we walk towards the magnificent City Hall we may pass St Georges market or St Malachy's church or the world famous Crown Bar. If the weather makes a walking tour unsuitable we can substitute for a 2 hour driven tour which will include a visit to Stormont the seat of the NI government and Belfast Castle. We will also visit the peace wall and the site where Titanic was built and launched.
