Walking & Running

Travellers have long known that the best way to experience a city is on foot. Belfast is such a city, flat without being of little interest and easy on the feet with wide tree lined Victorian boulevards and interesting little side streets that draw you in.

With the surrounding hills just minutes from the city centre walkers can quickly take in the breathtaking views of the city from stunning vantage points such as Cavehill and Divis Mountain while surrounded by tranquil countryside. The Lagan Towpath and Lagan Meadows offer the perfect urban refuge, with miles of scenic walkways along the river and a beautiful nature reserve all within a few miles of the city clamour.

Or escape the hustle and bustle and take a relaxing stroll in Botanic Gardens and visit the spectacular Victorian Palm House or amble through Sir Thomas and Lady Dixon Park renowned throughout the horticultural world for the quality of its roses.
