Luggage storage Belfast

About Belfast

Belfast is the largest city in Northern Ireland and also its capital. Throughout its past, it 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 of the city’s political history known as the Troubles ended with the Good Friday agreement in 1998. Nowadays, Belfast is no more dangerous than any other city of comparable size in Europe and, as a result, the city’s something of a meeting point of cultures between mainland Britain and Ireland.

It may be this dark past that has made Belfast so future-facing. Once an industrial powerhouse and shipbuilding center, Belfast has reinvented itself as a major player in the aerospace industry. The city combines old-world charm with cutting-edge modernity, and 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. If you’re staying in Belfast for a couple of days or just passing through, don’t forget about looking into Bounce’s luggage storage services.
