• Donegall Square, Belfast, Antrim

This magnificent building dominates the city centre and is usually the first port of call for visitors to the city. You'll have no problem finding this attraction as it's instantly recognisable from its classical Renaissance style exterior and its distinctive green domes - the main dome measuring about 53 metres.
The City Hall was built in 1898 after Belfast was given the title of a 'city' by Queen Victoria. It features Portland stone, impressive marble and stained glass windows.
Vistors to the City Hall can enjoy free guided tours which are available Monday to Saturday and last around 45 minutes. It's well worth having a look inside to see its extravagant interior. You can explore the Great Hall, the grand staircase, the council chamber, the banqueting hall and the robbing rooms.
