    If you find yourself wandering the buzzy streets of Belfast city, one building will stand out among the rest: the City Hall.

    Located on Donegall Square, the striking City Hall – with its copper-domed roof, stained glass windows and elegant Portland stone – is the civic headquarters of Belfast City Council. Designed by Sir Alfred Brumwell Thomas and completed in 1906, the magnificent structure showcases an exquisite blend of Baroque architectural style, beautifully complemented by the surrounding grounds, filled with manicured lawns and memorials, including the Titanic Memorial Garden, the Cenotaph and the Garden of Remembrance.

    Guided tours are a great way to learn about the building’s construction, admire its vast collection of art and explore its opulent interiors such as the Council Chamber and Great Hall. Afterwards, if the weather is nice, join the locals relaxing on the lawns outside and soak up some of Belfast city’s unbeatable atmosphere.
