Book Description

ISBN-10: 0856405388 | ISBN-13: 978-0856405389 | Publication Date: January 1, 1994 | Edition: illustrated edition

A modern, bustling city center; gracious parks and quiet river-walks; splendid Victorian public buildings; trendy restaurants and nightspots; friendly citizens -- can this really be Belfast? No secret to the residents of course, but the smiling side of Belfast's face often comes as a pleasant revelation to the -- understandably -- cautious visitor. Exposes that smiling face in all its unexpected sunniness, from the breathtaking summit of Cave Hill to the jostling stalls of St. George's Market.
