Beautiful church, yet fairly recent. Area has probably seen better days, but not that bad. Worth the walk.

We walked through the quarter to get to a restaurant we were eating in. A very pleasant, relaxing walk with lovely buildings and outdoor space.

It's a lovely area but has the potential to be soooo much better with time, money and effort from the useless belfast City council. Lovely old cobbled area with great pubs, restaurants, cafes and hotels. It's safe which is a bonus for Belfast and you can go out there knowing that you won't be beaten up or get into an... More

Be warned of closing times, not as continental as they'd like to think they are! Found it hard to get a restaurant past 9pm on a Bank Holiday Sunday

We went to see Adam Ant at the Cathedral Arts festival on Saturday 4th May 2013. The event was in a Marquee. It was organised very well and it was an event i really enjoyed.

Great area of the city to experience the culture and crack of the Belfast residents and visitors. Brilliant vibrant bars and restaurant's. Lots of little streets to explore and fun people to meet and get to know. Well worth a visit for those of us who enjoy meeting new people with interesting stories to tell.

This used to be the LGBT area of Belfast and had quite interesting funky places to go out. It has undergone significant renovations and now just behind St Anne's church, there is a large white complex that has quite a few restaurants. this is in addition to places that have been there a bit (Nick's Warehouse, Duke of York) all...

We walked through many of the cathedrals and they were all inspiring and beautiful. We got lost and had to ask directions from a priest. He was very old, but very friendly and directed us to the next cathedral. Everyone we encountered in Ireland was warm and friendly and happy to help.
