There was a wedding there when we went so a bit crowded. The tour was short and quick. What we enjoyed more was lunch at the diner.

Walk in. This is a beautiful building evocative of Belfasts history and heritage. we didn't get a guided tour as the building had been commandeered for the marathon but there is a coffee shop inside which gives access to some of the building. the staff were rather officious and wanted to chase us out as we were not partaking in...

Very interesting and historic building. We were lucky to arrive just as a guided tour was about to start. Guide was knowledgeable, informative and provided an interesting (though, carefully PC)!! review of the building and its contents. Good cafe and toilet facilities

Here we go again raving on about our heritage, again we have only visited the City Hall once it is a spectacular building. Start outside and admire the building and the forsight that put it on such a perfect site. Inside is fantastic I love the way it looks and marvel at the skills there were in the times when... More

We did a tour of the city hall while in Belfast and were not disappointed. It's a beautiful building with lots of history attached to it. The tour was excellent and we got to see a lot of the rooms - including ones used for votes and meetings. The guide was great - taught us a lot about the history... More

Walk past this place every day. it's lovely but because of the idiotic politics of NI, the flag issue has tainted it's current status. Well worth a visit though. Nice grounds out the front if it's a sunny day - which it normally isn't.

We booked a time the same day to visit and we weren't disappointed. It was a spectacular view on the ground floor and so interesting to see the other rooms on the tour. There was a tea room as well and delicious cakes and scones.
