The Merchants Who Grew a City - Walking Tour
Event Description

Belfast’s geography – its rivers, port and hills – played a key role in its industrial history.

The tour takes in Donegall Quay, Clarendon Dock, the Cathedral Quarter, High Street and historic entries, where you’ll get acquainted with the people who developed shipbuilding, printing, linen and whiskey production.
