Belfast is a thriving and exciting city with a unique cultural heritage. In the wake of the Peace Process, it is fast becoming a major conference and tourist destination. Founded in 1845, Queen’s University is located next to the city's famous Golden Mile of pubs, clubs, restaurants and entertainment venues, and immediately adjacent to the Ulster Museum and Botanic Gardens. The University is just over a mile from Belfast city centre and is easily accessible by public transport. The city itself is well-served by two airports, making it straightforward for international visitors to travel here. Further information on travelling to Belfast can be found on the Belfast Visitor and Convention Bureau web site . Northern Ireland is noted for the warmth of the welcome that it provides visitors, and we hope that you will consider travelling here to experience that welcome for yourself.
