Belfast City is located in County Antrim. Belfast, although Ireland's second largest city, is a relatively compact city with most of its points of interest within walking distance of the city centre, which is centred around Donegall Square. Most visitors will start their visit to the city in Near Donegall Square which is dominated by Belfast City Hall. The bulk of Belfast's shopping streets are located north of Donegall Square, around the principal street Donegall Place.
Belfast's main visitor attractions include: the Ulster Museum, which is the principal museum of Northern Ireland; The Grand Opera House which is Northern Ireland's premier theatre; the Botanical Gardens; The Linen Hall Library, which is Belfast's oldest library; and the Odyssey Arena, Ireland's largest indoor venue, which hosts music and sports events.
