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.
Good to know
City Hall is a 20-minute walk or 10-minute taxi from Belfast Port — perfectly central. Guided City Hall tours run at set times; check belfastcity.gov.uk and pre-book to guarantee your slot. St George's Market operates Fri–Sun (best on Saturday and Sunday mornings). A superb half-day combination leaving the afternoon free.
