    We visited the Peace Wall during a black taxi cab tour. We had read about the conflicts that led to the wall's construction but like most things, there's a huge difference between reading about something and seeing it for yourself. The history of Belfast and the wall is tragic and fascinating. The wall has different sections and tiers where it was built higher out of necessity. Now the lowest tier is an inspirational mural decorated and signed by people from all over the world. You can even write your own message and sign your name alongside people like the Dalai Lama and Bill Clinton. It's wonderful to see something that has such a horrific history be turned into something positive although you can't help but wonder why it's still standing. I'm glad I was able to visit before it gets torn down and I hope they're able to remove it while retaining the history of what happened. People shouldn't forget what happened in the past for fear of repeating it in the future. 4 stars.

    Reminded me of a cross between the Berlin Wall and the Beatles wall in Prague. The Berlin Wall reference is due to the similarity of walls being painted in remembrance of a conflict, and the Beatles wall in Prague is because of the impermanence of the murals, which get painted over every couple of weeks. Note - there are some murals which are pretty permanent, e.g. the one with the saying of the Dalai Lama. The murals on the wall are remarkably topical as I spotted one commemorating the Orlando nightclub shootings which happened last month. It's great walking thru the variety of art styles and almost getting a microcosm view of the conflicts happening around the world thru the visual medium of the murals. I do think however, going there with a guide would have benefited us more as there were local murals, which as visitors to the city, we didn't totally understand the context. Absolutely recommend going, but go with a guide if possible! Note: #218 of Yelp 100 challenge of 2016

    The political Black Cab tour in Belfast was interesting (though disturbing and depressing). I highly recommend it... and be sure to be open-minded to try and best understand both sides of the story.

    This is a must see if you're in Belfast. It's such a sad sight. The fact that it still exists is depressing.

    It's unbelievable as to what has happened in Belfast fairly recently. Visitors should come here to gain an understanding of the history.

    Crumlin Road Jail - A guide brings visitors around...

    Crumlin Road Jail

    (12 reviews)

    Went to the Crumlin road jail as it's the top ranked attraction on trip advisor. It was…read moreinteresting that the site is owned by the Govt but run by a private company. It cost £6.50 (had a £2 discount coupon). The last tour of the day is at 4:30pm but it's also cool that the main building is open till late because of the restaurant located inside. Hearing about what went on was truly horrific but overall this was an okay experience for me. I think I was expecting more info about the troubles and the political prisoners but that wasn't really our tour guide's focus. He also started the tour by asking for volunteers but nothing was done involving a volunteer! It's an hour's tour and the visit to the tunnel plus the hangman info was the most interesting bits of the tour for me. Another tip - Don't miss checking out the beautiful but now derelict courthouse opposite the street. The govt sold it for £1 but it's going to take a fair bit of bob to put it back to rights! So overall it was interesting tour but maybe Note: #222 of Yelp 100 challenge for 2016

    I had been meaning to come here for absolutely years, and just never got around to it…read more I am a huge fan of anything of historical interest, however my first visit, surprisingly, was for the Ghost tour this Halloween! I booked the tickets online and came along this October hoping for a spooky experience. We were greeted at the gates by security who explained how to get around into the car park, and got parked up with no issues. We waited in the coffee shop 'The Crum' - and had a wine and beer each prior to the tour. When the tour started, we were initially taken into a holding area, and then began by being taken into the tunnel linking the jail to the courthouse, where allegedly, paranormal activity has taken place! Unfortunately (or thankfully, maybe) we experienced no such activity on our trip. We were then taken into a side room where an employee was said to have met a grisly end, and we were instructed to record audio on our phones. Next, we were taken to one of the wings where we could see the cells (and inside the cells) and last but not least, we were shown to the condemned man's cell, and behind the book case to the gallows, before being taken down into the basement. We didn't experience any ghostly going's on in our trip, but I would definitely come back again, this time during the day, so I can get a proper look at the inside of the jail, since the tour I did was in the dark or low light. Recommended!

    Jaffe Fountain - Jaffe Fountain, Belfast

    It looks like a jewelry box but it's actually the Jaffe Memorial Fountain. Striking and brightly…read morecolorful it was originally erected in 1874 by Sir Otto Jaffe to honor his father, Daniel Jaffe. It was initially placed in Victoria Square but was later moved to the Botanic Gardens, where it remained until 2008 It is intricate and elegant, made of Portland stone with each of the smaller columns featuring a female figure that represents each of the four seasons. It stands at the Victoria Street entrance to the Victoria Square shopping center. The original yellow and white were apparently selected to reflect the aesthetic preferences of the Victorian era, as these were popular colors to symbolize purity and light and optimism. It is indeed a fountain but in September it was dry. I'm not sure if it is ever filled with water. [Review 1883 of 2024 - 866 in United Kingdom - 22905 overall]

    I bet you've walked past this wee gem hundreds of times but never given it a second look, I'm right…read morearen't I? Well now it's time to be enlightened. This is the Jaffa Fountain, not named after everyone's favourite cake/biscuit but actually named after Belfast's first Lord Mayor Otto Jaffa. The fountain itself was actually built in 1879 and it was erected in its current location, but here's the strange part. As industrial and commercial Belfast grew it was moved out to Botanic Gardens - mature students might recognise it from those days. Once Victoria Square was commissioned the decision was made to bring the old fellow back to its rightful place. I for one am glad they did as I think it provides a welcome nod to Belfast's past in the centre of its current commercial renaissance.
