    Book a 45-minute guided walking tour around the square with Hidden Ulster Tours, which delves into CS Lewis’s early life in Belfast and his great success as a writer.

    Turns out the magical world of Narnia is hidden in a little corner of east Belfast. CS Lewis Square honours one of the city’s most famous sons with a dazzling collection of sculptures by Irish artist Maurice Harron inspired by the author’s most enduring work – The Chronicles of Narnia. For fans of the novels or the film adaptations, this is a must-visit on your trip to Belfast. Ready to step through the wardrobe? As Aslan says: “Your adventure begins now.”

    EastSide Visitor Centre

    Adjacent to CS Lewis Square is EastSide Visitor Centre, where you can grab a coffee and a bite to eat before discovering things to see and do in east Belfast. From following in the footsteps of all-time great footballer, George Best – you can even stay in the house he grew up in, to uncovering locations made famous in Van Morrison songs, there’s much to explore. This former industrial heartland has been reborn as a creative hub, full of buzzy bars and restaurants, as well as art spaces and trendy cafés. It’s time to head east!

    Around East Belfast

    Tour and taste popular local craft beers at Boundary Brewing just down the road from CS Lewis Square. For waterside strolls, scenic Victoria Park is nearby, too, with walking trails around a scenic lake. The historic Titanic Quarter is on your doorstep as well, where the infamous tale of “the Ship of Dreams” is told with aplomb inside the shimmering structure of Titanic Belfast. A little further afield in the other direction is Stormont Estate, the site of Northern Ireland’s main parliament buildings, where elegant gardens and a variety of woodland trails await.
