Belfast city hall is an impressive building in the centre of the city - a great meeting point and it is steeped in history. In 2017 a new 16 room tour was opened up showcasing some more of the history from the city - well worth a visit (

Construction began in 1898 under the supervision of architect Sir Alfred Brumwell Thomas and was completed in 1906 at a cost of £369,000. The city hall in Durban, South Africa is almost an exact replica of Belfast's City Hall. It was built in 1910 and designed by Stanley G. Hudson, who was inspired by the Belfast design.
If you ever thought about visiting Belfast, the capital city of Northern Ireland, or already managed to visit this city, you have probably came across those attractions and landmarks which define the city and which oblige you to visit them. Among those different attractions and landmarks, Belfast City Hall stands at the top and shouts out for people to come and see what it holds inside for them (

For those who don't know yet, Belfast City Hall is the civic building for Belfast City Council that is located in Donegall Square, which is the city centre and which also divides the commercial and business areas of this place.
Moving around the city will definitely bring you to the City Hall location at some point and even if you are riding the tour bus, you will also come across it because it is considered one of the important buildings of Belfast and one which will be always placed in the tours done around the city, even if you are not willing to come inside - which we definitely do not recommend, you should get inside this old building - you will still pass by it from the outside.
The exterior of the building is as important as the interiors and while one could easily get the chance to see the outdoors of the place, one should also get inside to get astonished with the different things that he/she will be able to view. From those things to see inside the building, there is the City Hall dome, the first floor rotunda, the sculpture of the Earl of Belfast, the central staircase, and of course the main entrance.
Inspecting the building is definitely one of the things that visitors will be doing when they step inside Belfast City Hall, but in addition to that, there are also some pieces of information about the history of the city which one will get informed with while moving across the exhibition opened inside and which extends to 16 different rooms - it is really interesting to know things which you might have never even thought about before regarding the history of the country.
Leaving all these historical things aside and coming to the point where we will remember some incidences that changed the history of Belfast, we will come upon the important RMS Titanic ship which was built in Northern Ireland and which sunk back in 1912 when it hit an ice rock. Because of this ship and the victims who were on board, there is now a memorial found inside the grounds of Belfast City Hall.
The Titanic Memorial in Belfast City Hall was erected to commemorate the lives of those who were lost in the sinking of the ship. This memorial represents the disaster in the form of a female personification of death or fate, holding a laurel wreath over the head of a drowned sailor raised above the waves by a pair of mermaids. The garden in which this memorial is found and placed is considered a place dedicated to Titanic ship and is also considered the only memorial in the world to write all the names of the victims on the same nine meter long plinth placed inside the garden.
The tour inside Belfast City Hall will take about one hour and it is free for the visitors to come inside and be informed with the history of Belfast with the help of a tour guide; the thing is that these tours follow the "first come first serve" basis, so it is important to register 10 to 15 minutes before the tour starts. These tours are available Mondays to Sundays and through them visitors could also get the chance to visit Titanic memorial as well as other monuments and memorials.
Yes, history is what attracts us all, but since we are talking about this important building in Belfast city, Northern Ireland, we should never forget to suggest it to people at night; they should come and see it from the outside since it is usually lit with different colors of lights that give it a whole different look and provide the visitors with a totally different experience (

There are actually different things to see inside this building, so it should be always placed among the list of things to do in Belfast which might come in addition to other important attractions like the Belfast Castle for example (
