貝爾法斯特 DISCOVER BEAUTIFUL BELFAST, NORTHERN IRELAND

魅力無窮的北愛爾蘭首府This exciting place has the advantages of a major city with the charm of a small town

貝法植物園

貝爾法斯特植物園在一八二八年成立時原是一座私人公園，但在一八九五年向大眾開放。

植物園裡著名的「棕櫚溫房」是一棟由玻璃及鑄鐵構成的建築，於一八三○年代開始建造；在那裡可以看到種類繁多的植物，其中一株的壽命更超過四百年！

阿爾斯特博物館 北愛爾蘭最大的博物館是貝法華麗的阿爾斯特博物館。

這座博物館被稱為北愛爾蘭今昔的藏寶屋。

從木乃伊到月岩，這座博物館擁有讓人嘆為觀止的藝術、自然科學以及歷史瑰寶等收藏。

聖喬治市場 有獎項加持的聖喬治市場興建於一八九○年代，是貝爾法斯特現存最後一座位於維多利亞式建築裡的市場。

遊客能在那裡看到約莫兩百處攤商販賣食物、服飾、古玩、工藝品以及其他東西。

早點去品嘗市場著名的早餐，然後一邊聆聽現場音樂一邊喝杯特色精品咖啡或茶飲。

上述景點只是讓你淺嘗一下貝爾法斯特的迷人之處。

每一個到訪者都應該花點時間，深入探索這座位於拉甘河上的美麗城市。

Botanic Gardens

Belfast Botanic Gardens started out as a private park in 1828 but opened to the public in 1895. Construction on the garden's famous Palm House, a building of glass and iron, started in the 1830s. A wide variety of plants can be found there, including one that is over 400 years old!

Ulster Museum

The largest museum in Northern Ireland is Belfast's splendid Ulster Museum. It has been called Northern Ireland's treasure house of the past and present. From mummies to moon rocks, the museum boasts impressive art, natural science and history collections.

St. George's Market

Award-winning St. George's Market was built in the 1890s and is Belfast's last remaining market housed in a Victorian building. Visitors will find approximately 200 booths selling food, clothes, antiques, crafts and more. Go early for the market's famous breakfast, and try a specialty coffee or tea while listening to live music.

 This is just a small taste of what Belfast has to offer. Everyone should take time to explore more in this beautiful city on the Lagan River.
