earlist Irish house at Mountsandel. The
hut will be created in the Ballaí Bána
Gallery on the first floor in An
Chultúrlann and will be on display to the
public upon its’ completion.

Welcome to West Belfast – the heart of Ireland’s second city. West Belfast is known throughout the world as a hotbed of political invention and a platform for social progress. The legacy of the recent conflict is a confident community that attracts interest from actors, writers, politicians and an ever-increasing number of tourists from every continent.
Take a taxi tour in one of our famous Black Taxis or a walking tour organised by a political ex-prisoner. There’s lots to see - from the huge range of political murals to the traditional music sessions, from Milltown and City Cemeteries to Clonard Monastery. If you want fresh air, why not take a walk up Divis and Black Mountain or round the Bog Meadows? And if you are looking for a rest afterwards and a bite to eat, you’ll be spoilt for choice in West Belfast. Whether it’s lunch in the Cultúrlann or a coffee at the bottom of Colin Glen Forest Park, you’ll be assured of a warm welcome and good service.
I hope you enjoy browsing our website, whether you are a potential tourist thinking of visiting West Belfast for the first time, a regular visitor planning a return trip, or indeed a local person organising a night out using our comprehensive What's On page. If you find the website useful, tell your friends and get them to tell their friends!
