The Original Belfast Alternative Tour

The food scene in Belfast has been skyrocketing in popularity, quality, and creativity. The city is becoming increasingly gastronomic, with food influences coming from many different cultures and medians of art. Eating out in Belfast is not just an experience for your taste buds but for all your senses and we have the best local recommendations. Depending on the day of the week our alternative tour will take you to St. George’s Market, Belfast’s home to an amazing market which always has live music, interesting treasures, and great food.

To say street art in Belfast is popular would be a massive understatement. Street art and murals have largely had very pronounced and serious political connotations in Belfast, often related to sectarianism and paramilitaries. Many artists are trying to move past the dark times of the Troubles and have used street art as a way to promote peace and change. Not only will we dive into the world of the infamous and historical murals that line the city but also take a chance to explore the innovative new artists whose work is starting to move past politics and into representing the creativity pouring out of the city. And not just street art! Belfast as a major university city is always pumping out new creations in the form of music, art, and theatre!

As if it couldn’t get any better, we offer the tour for free! The guides are true locals who can’t wait to share their city and passion with you! That being said, tips are always encouraged… We wouldn’t want to take the saying starving artists too literally ;).
