The Leaning Tower of Belfast.

In Belfast stands a fish so large, Made of steel and art, a true castle. Its blue shines in the sunlight, Its face a marine wonder. It swims in the cityscape, proud and free, A symbol of strength and harmony. People watch, marvel, laugh, And are awakened by the work of art. A sea spirit in the middle of the city, That shows what art and courage can do. The blue fish, so beautiful and clear, Remains wonderful in our hearts.

Anyone wanting to walk from the city center to the Titanic Museum will inevitably have to cross here. It's better than crossing the busy car bridge next to it.

The Lagan Weir Footbridge and Cycle Bridge is a suspended pedestrian bridge over the river. The bridge connects Donegall Quay and Queen's Quay.

Due to insufficiently compacted subsoil, the tower dedicated to Prince Albert has become "leaning." Despite repeated repairs, it is still one meter out of alignment in two directions. Hence the Leaning Tower of Belfast 😎

Ceramic fish sculpture with pictures and texts on the history of Belfast, partly made by children.

Here, in the middle of the city, the characters from The Chronicles of Narnia come to life in the form of impressive bronze sculptures. As a cyclist, you pass right by the square and can pause for a moment to immerse yourself in this fantastic world. The sculptures of Aslan, the mighty lion, and the White Witch's throne in particular attract attention. The details of the figures are impressive and give the characters a special presence. The square is not only a place for literature lovers, but also an interesting work of art in the open air - a change from the usual sights. CS Lewis, the famous writer and son of the city, is omnipresent here and also makes this place a small piece of Belfast history.

Crossing the Lagan over the Lagan Weir in Belfast gives you, as a cyclist, an interesting perspective of the river and the city. The bridge, which runs between the Queen Elizabeth Bridge and the M3 Harbour Bridge, is not only functional, but also part of a larger riverside development project. Before the Weir opened in 1994, the river was highly exposed to the tides. At low tide, the muddy banks dried out and gave off a rather unpleasant smell, especially in summer. Today, the Weir ensures that the river remains even and the waterfront area has become much more attractive - an important step for urban development in this area. The pedestrian bridge over the Weir provides a direct connection between the two sides of the Lagan and offers you great views over the water and the Belfast skyline.
