Cathedral Quarter
Once the city's centre for trade and its warehouse district, the
heart of Belfast's cultural and tourist hub is Cathedral Quarter,
so named because of the presence of St Anne's Cathedral. There are
some lovely examples of Victorian and Art Deco architecture,
several galleries, dedicated performing arts venues, good
restaurants and bars, and the area plays host to the Belfast Film
Festival and the Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival annually. Given
some time, the area could rival Dublin's Temple Bar district.
Address: City centre, between Royal Avenue and the Dunbar Link;
