Linen Hall Library is a great place to learn about Northern Ireland's history

Linen Hall Library is open Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. If you start your weekend in Belfast on a Friday or remain until Monday, you should definitely stop here. The highlight of Linen Hall Library is a five-story display of political posters representing a wide range of viewpoints. This is the place to go for a crash course on Northern Ireland's politics and history. If you have enough time, there is also a nice cafe with dark wood panelling and antique furniture where you can stop for a coffee.

Visit Belfast's Victoria Square Shopping Centre

You will notice a geodesic dome in the distance while strolling along the River Lagan. What could be within - a biosphere project? Is it a planetarium? If you visit the dome, you'll discover that it isn't a biosphere or planetarium, but rather a shopping centre! Climb up to the top of the sci-fi-inspired building for 360-degree views of Belfast.

Visit the Belfast Giants Ice Hockey Club

The SSE Arena in Belfast has a lovely feel to it: it's not too big and has good sightlines to the rink. Start out with excellent centre ice seats and settle in for the first face-off, when things quickly pick up. 

A Self-Guided Tour of Falls Road will allow you to learn about the history of the Troubles in Northern Ireland

Visiting Belfast allows you to learn about Northern Ireland's tumultuous past. Many people choose to take a black cab trip. 

Visit Queen's University Belfast

On the QUB campus, you can stroll through the Lanyon Building and discover the hidden treasures in and beyond the grounds. You'll notice a stained glass window and a sculpture of Galileo within. On the other side of the Lanyon Building at Queen's University, you will encounter additional stunning structures drenched in light.
