Not only is Belfast’s Cathedral Quarter the new nightlife and entertainment centre of the city it’s also the historic and cultural heart of Belfast as well as the centre of the arts and craft scene. The cobblestone streets are lined with some of Belfasts best night spots including trendy cafés, restaurants as well as plenty of pubs packed with revellers. You’ll also find an art college, some very facisinating architecture, a piazza, and of course St Anne’s Cathedral. Read on for more…

The Cathedral Quarter, the focal point of which is Saint Anne’s Cathedral, is the most fashionable part of Belfast and stretches from Royal Avenue to Dunbar Link. In the past it was the heart of the city’s warehouse and trade district and has undergone an ambitious transformation to become Belfasts self designated cultural quarter.

In the daytime you can stroll around and take in the impressive architecture of the area’s original buildings as well as the magnificent Hiberno-Romanesque style of St Anne’s Cathedral – check out the piazza in front of the cathedral! The arts and crafts scene has really taken off here and shopaholics certainly won’t be disappointed as it’s right next to Belfast’s main shopping district in and around Donegall Square. And after the sun goes down you can enjoy the vibrant cosmopolitan buzz of one of  Belfast’s newest districts.
