These city walks won me over in Belfast, and I’m usually a wander-alone type. The list runs from Cathedral Quarter history to street art in the entries, the narrow alleys the city grew up around. Nearly all stay in the compact centre; the political tours head west and have their own list.
Peel back the layers of Belfast's turbulent past with the 'A History of Terror' walking tour, and discover the untold stories that linger in its streets.
