Contact MeBelfast: The City That Earned Its Confidence
Belfast has been through things most cities haven't and come out the other side with a warmth and directness that's hard to find elsewhere. The craic is genuine. The humour is quick. And the people who live here are genuinely proud of where they're from in a way that's infectious rather than defensive.
The city has transformed dramatically in twenty years. The Cathedral Quarter's live music scene, the Titanic Quarter's regeneration, the Lisburn Road's café culture — this is a genuinely exciting place to be right now. Compare the tight-knit community feel here to the anonymity of London or the competitive edge of Edinburgh and Belfast starts to look like a genuinely human city.
Belfast's Best Areas for Meeting People

- Lisburn Road: More established, good restaurants and bars. Slightly older crowd. Very sociable neighbourhood feel.

- East and North Belfast: The parts tourists don't see. Real neighbourhood character, brilliant community feel.
