A Walk Through Historic Belfast
Strenuous Activity
Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.
WHAT YOU VISIT
St. Anne's Cathedral (Belfast Cathedral)
Built between 1899 and 1981, the cathedral's interior boasts five large pillars on each side of the central nave with four archangels carved high in the corners, huge stained-glass windows depicting characters from the Old Testament, and a black and white marble floor that represents virtue and vice. Look up at the ceiling and marvel at the 100-year-old mosaics that cover the domed ceiling of the baptistery (one mosaic is made up of more than 150,000 pieces!)
Deer Head's Pub
Enjoy a drink of your choice at this historic 19th century bar where guests can watch the brewing process in Belfast's first, and only, fully operational modern brewpub.
PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES
St. Anne's Cathedral is one of Belfast's most treasured and photogenic buildings noted for its lovely Romanesque architecture, semi-circular arches and massive pillars, and a modern 40-meter (130-foot) stainless steel, needle-shaped structure atop the cathedral that serves as a beacon of faith and reconciliation.
WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
Your guided walk through Cathedral Square, named for St. Anne's Cathedral, leads past sites such as St. Patrick's Catholic Church, the Old Poor House dating back to the 1770s, the Library, and the Belfast Telegraph office, all brought to life through engaging commentary from your knowledgeable guide.
Schedule
Special Notes
On Sundays, the Cathedral will be visited from the outside only, and the duration of the walking tour will be extended. The minimum legal drinking age in Ireland is 18; passengers under 18 will not be permitted an alcoholic drink. This is a walking tour and the surfaces vary - there will be steps, level pathways, cobblestones, inclines. Access to the Cathedral is available to the physically challenged. Both the exterior and interior is equipped with ramps. There is a rest room facility and a lift to the lower floor of the Cathedral Centre. There are many steps within in the pub that will need to be negotiated for guests to explore the history of the pub.
