Hiring a car at Belfast City Centre

Belfast, the capital city of Northern Ireland, is a busy town with a bustling city centre that is a popular place with tourists and locals. Like any big city there is lots to do with shops, bars and restaurants, cultural sites and other entertainment venues.

Culture

Belfast City Centre is home to iconic landmark buildings such as Belfast City Hall and the historic Grand Opera House. There are several museums, including the unique Titanic Belfast Museum, as well as museums documenting the turbulent history of Northern Ireland. There is also a vibrant art and music scene which can be appreciated in the Cathedral Quarter, known for its lively pubs, galleries, and street art.

Family-friendly Activities Around Belfast

Families visiting Belfast City Centre shouldn't miss the W5 Interactive Discovery Centre, with its hands-on exhibits and activities focused on science and technology that will appeal to children of all ages. You can also enjoy a  leisurely stroll through Victoria Park or visit the Belfast Zoo, just north of the city, to see a variety of animals from around the world.

Sport

Belfast City Centre has plenty for sports lovers too, with many sporting facilities and outdoor spaces. The Victoria Square Shopping Centre houses a state-of-the-art gym and swimming pool, ideal for those looking to stay active during their visit. Additionally, Ormeau Park has tennis courts, soccer fields, bowling greens and jogging trails for the public's use.

Parking and Road Access

There are several car parks near the centre but, like any capital city, parking can be harder to find at peak hours, so you may find it easier to park further out and  take a bus into town. Victoria Square Car Park and Castle Court Car Park are well-placed for shopping and the main attractions and the city centre is easily walkable. The M1 and M2 motorways are accessible from the city allowing drivers to connect Dublin and other towns and cities across Ireland.

Renters with licences from countries that are not part of the International Driving Permit Agreement should carry a certified translation.

An additional refuelling charge may apply at some locations.
  • A full tank of fuel is not guaranteed.
