Botanical Gardens
Once privately owned and titled the Royal Belfast Botanical Gardens, the present Botanic gardens, near Queens University and the Ulster Museum, are among the most frequented parks in Belfast.
The property was opened in 1828 and subsequently developed with plant collections and features
Queens University
No trip to Belfast would be complete without a visit to Queen's. The building was designed by Charles Lanyon and completed in 1849, about the same time as University College Cork and University College Galway. All three buildings share architectural similarities.
The front wing of Queen's was based on the late medieval design of Magdalen College, Oxford, and is a fine example of Victorian Gothic revivalism.
