Luggage Storage Belfast

About Belfast

Belfast is the largest city in Northern Ireland, and the capital of the Northern part of the island of Ireland that is still part of the United Kingdom. As a result, Belfast is something of a meeting point of cultures between mainland Britain and Ireland. Belfast was the center of the ongoing struggle between Irish nationalists and British loyalists, and during the 70s and 80s was one of the world's most dangerous cities. However, the dark period known as the Troubles came to an end with the Good Friday agreement in 1998. Nowadays, Belfast is no more dangerous than any other city of comparable size in Europe.

Perhaps it's this dark past that has made Belfast so future-facing. Once an industrial powerhouse and center of shipbuilding, Belfast has reinvented itself as a major player in the aerospace industry. The city combines old world charm with cutting edge modernity. And, as the capital of Northern Ireland, it's also a cultural hub. Whatever you like to do, chances are you'll find it in Belfast. 

Belfast is located a quick train ride away from lots of incredible small towns in Northern Ireland.
