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 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.

However, the exhibition goes far beyond the Titanic and also sheds light on the stories of its sister ships, the Olympic and the Britannic. In the spacious halls, which cover a total of 12,000 square meters, you can expect a thoughtful mix of interactive exhibitions and historical exhibits - perfect for taking a break from cycling and immersing yourself in the maritime past.
