Sights to see in Belfast at Christmas Time

Belfast isn't just the most visited city in Northern Ireland, but is one of the most popular cities in all Europe. While the city's colourful history and wealth of historical and modern attractions tempt visitors from far and wide throughout the year, the city takes on a special shine during the Christmas season, when it plays host to fabulous Christmas markets and a multitude of festive performances at its various theatres.

A city esteemed for its culture, it should be no surprise that Belfast's theatres are overflowing with options if you're visiting over Christmas - whether you're interested in festive-themed shows or not. Families visiting with children will be well catered for with performances at venues like the Belfast Waterfront - this year staging the timeless tale Jack and the Beanstalk and the more contemporary Elf. Meanwhile, those eager to delve further into the country's culture may enjoy seeking out traditional music performances, with groups such as the Celtic Tenors playing at the prestigious Ulster Hall.

Many of Belfast's permanent visitor attractions embrace the Christmas spirit wholeheartedly, so you can even get into the seasonal spirit when heading to Belfast Zoo. Belfast Castle also operates special tours with a Christmas theme as the big day draws nearer, meaning you no longer have any excuses to postpone visiting this fascinating landmark on your Belfast break.

For all its tourism opportunities, one area in which Belfast really excels over the winter holiday is its famous Christmas Continental Market. Opening up shop a little earlier than most Christmas markets in mid-November, visitors should be aware that the market closes its doors on 19 December - so it's vital to arrange your Belfast hotels in time to pay it a visit.

True to its name, the Christmas Continental Market showcases Belfast's European flavour by featuring stalls and sellers from almost 30 countries, across the length and breadth of Europe. That means you don't have to make the trip to Germany or France just so you can enjoy traditional delicacies like sausages and exquisite cheeses, while the variety of mulled wine on offer puts most other Christmas markets to shame.

Taking place at Belfast City Hall in the centre of the capital, the Christmas Continental Market is open until 10pm between Thursday and Saturday, making it the ideal place to take care of some last-minute Christmas shopping. That's not to ignore Belfast's well-equipped shopping streets either, where you're sure to find everything to fill up the stockings of your loved ones this Christmas.
