What walkers say

Really informative about the places you would always walk past and not take a second look.

MarkVoiceMap review ·

Fantastic tour - hard to believe there’s so much history on such a compact route. And some great recommendations too (thanks Belfast Lucie for being a great guide, and all those bar tips!!)

JamesVoiceMap review ·

A little history. A lot of Belfast.

The stories behind the streets

This self-guided Cathedral Quarter audio tour follows the pints, politics and old streets of one of Belfast’s most recognisable neighbourhoods. It moves from Half Bap history into the modern party district, connecting old Belfast with the city people experience today.

Use it before an evening out, between sightseeing stops, or when you want the Cathedral Quarter to feel like more than a collection of good-looking streets and busy pubs.

Highlights

  • Belfast's old streets, entries and pub culture
  • Stories from Half Bap to the modern party district
  • A lively route through one of Belfast's best-known neighbourhoods
