Discover Belfast city and its City Hall, which has been described as a 'glorious Edwardian confection of a building'. Opened in 1906, it was built in Classical Renaissance style in Portland stone with a sumptuous interior lavished with three types of Italian marble. Its crowning features are the 173' high central dome with a whispering gallery and the grand central staircase.
Have a drink in the Crown Liquor saloon, Belfast's famous bar. It is now a unique visual gem, a veritable masterpiece in bar architecture, which has the distinction of being known to millions all over the world.
Visit the Grand Opera House, over 100 years old. This beautiful Victorian theatre presents a diverse programme, spanning classic and modern drama, musical theatre, ballet, opera, comedy and music embracing all interest groups.
Admire world famous Belfast's Murals. Pictures of murals are often flashed around the world on news bulletins or used as a backdrop when interviewing people. They often depict the history and political views of both traditions and are a way of marking territory.
These Northern Ireland wall paintings often look intimidating but they have become as much of a tourist attraction as many of the regular attractions within Northern Ireland.

"The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page", St. Augustine said. Here at www.travel-university.org we believe that every page must be read and explored. Travel is an avenue of learning that no text or classroom can teach. The world is a living classroom and you the student. We invite you to the www.travel-university.org library where you can read general interest and detail oriented articles.
