Belfast City Hall Guided Tour + St George's Market Immersion

Step inside Belfast's magnificent Baroque Revival City Hall for an expert-guided tour of its grand marble chambers, then lose yourself in the vibrant Victorian iron-and-glass St George's Market — one of the finest covered markets in Europe.

What to expect

The guided tour of City Hall takes you through ornate council chambers, the Great Hall with its soaring stained-glass windows, and the poignant Titanic memorial garden — your guide bringing to life Belfast's transformation from industrial powerhouse to vibrant European capital. A short stroll away, St George's Market (operating since 1604 and a listed building itself) delivers a symphony of local artisan produce, fresh seafood, handcrafted goods, and live traditional music on Saturdays and Sundays. It is the city's true social heartbeat and an unmissable sensory experience.
