Belfast City Council is aiming to raise awareness of the city’s cultural quarters – Queen’s, Cathedral, Gaeltacht and Titanic – by publishing new city tourist guides.

The guides – available from the Belfast Welcome Centre and tourist information centres across the city – provide maps and information highlighting special areas of interest.

Cllr Paul Maskey, deputy chair of the development committee, said: “We are committed to developing the cultural quarters in our city and enhancing their availability to everyone. Our aim is to raise awareness of the diversity and all that is on offer in Belfast.”

Guides on the Queen’s, Cathedral and Gaeltacht quarters have already been released, with visitor information on the Titanic Quarter to follow shortly.

Future guides will also include Luxury Belfast and Hard Hat Tourism – which looks at the city’s industrial heritage – as well as information on Belfast’s musical, artistic and literary heritage and its wildlife. Details: www.belfastcity.gov.uk
