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.

It tells of a past that shaped Northern Ireland - of conflict, tension and the desire for peace. As a cyclist exploring the city, you will pass these walls, which are now colorful and tell stories. These mosaic pictures and works of art bring a lively touch to the once dreary wall and remind us of how far Belfast has come. The Peace Wall still divides neighborhoods and people, but it now serves as a canvas for messages of hope and reconciliation. The feeling of standing right in a place that carries so much history is unique. The silence of the street is broken up by the works that adorn the walls. You may linger here for a moment and let the contrast between past and present sink in.

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.
