Crumlin Road Gaol Visitor Attraction and Conference Centre
Crumlin Road Prison is a special attraction. This prison has been well refurbished. Here, visitors can visit the cursed cell, interrogation room, solitary cell, execution room, etc. The scenes inside are vividly restored, It makes people feel the atmosphere of the prison at that time. The furnishings in the prison are somewhat creepy, but it is also a rare experience. Worth a visit if you want to learn about the history of the prison and Belfast.Belfast · 1.5km from downtown
Peace Wall Belfast
The "Peace Wall" on the Peace Line in the west of Belfast was built to separate Catholic and Protestant residential areas and reduce conflicts between paramilitary organizations on both sides. The first section of the Peace Wall was built in 1974. The wall was specially fortified in the summer of 2003, on the eve of a traditional Protestant parade to celebrate the historic defeat of King William III by the Irish army. Now, it has become a tourist attraction in the city, where people come to pay homage to the past and sigh the preciousness of peace.Belfast · 1.7km from downtown

What travellers say about Belfast
茄子红了7 February 2026

The price is cheaper if you order on-site, so I suggest you don't order online. Besides, they can't scan the QR code for online orders. On-site, it's only 14 pounds for adults, but they're charging 156 pounds here, which is outrageous.

The Peace Bridge is a beautiful landscape in Belfast. It represents a very sad history and also represents the hope of the people of Northern Ireland. The walls are covered with various graffiti works, most of which are paintings expressing peace in Northern Ireland. Some of the graffiti works are very moving and worth appreciating.

The scenery here is beautiful, but there are very few tourists here, which further highlights the tranquility here. It is especially suitable for taking a walk here to relax and have a feeling of peace and tranquility.

The castle, over 800 years old, is worth a visit; it's built by the sea.
