Your first and last centres are based in Dublin, Southern Ireland and Belfast in Northern Ireland. You can’t help but be inspired by Dublin. Maybe it’s the well-worn cobbles of Temple Bar or the scent of Guinness carrying up the Liffey. Whatever it is, Dublin inspires creativity. Welcome to Ireland’s capital city, steeped in history and buzzing with youthful energy. Medieval, Georgian and modern architecture provide a backdrop to a friendly bustling port where the cosmopolitan and charming meet in a delightful diversity that is Dublin. Its attractions are many, from castles, museums and art galleries to the lively spirit of Temple Bar. Belfast is Ireland's second-largest city and is the capital of Northern Ireland. In recent years this city has undergone a remarkable transformation and Belfast's economy is now booming. With important 19th-century buildings and award-winning 20th-century architecture, this city offers excellent facilities and many modern tourism developments. The scenic River Lagan flows through central Belfast and into the North Channel. Over the years, the important River Lagan has provided the city with much wealth and was an integral part of the city's thriving shipbuilding industry in the early 20th century. Undoubtedly the most famous ship ever to be made in Belfast was the ill-fated Titanic, which was actually built in the city's very own shipyards in 1911. |
