BELFAST City Guide | Northern Ireland | Travel Guide

Belfast is the capital of Northern Ireland and one of the most popular travel hubs in the United Kingdom. Around 2.5 million tourists visit Belfast each year.
Belfast is split by the "Peace Wall", a physical barrier between the predominantly Protestant and unionist area of East Belfast, and the predominantly Catholic and nationalist area of West Belfast. The Troubles, a time of sectarian warfare and brutality in Northern Ireland from the late 1960s to the late 1990s, are responsible for this separation.
