New scheme will help find attractions in Northern Ireland

18 August 2009 -

Visitors to Belfast will soon benefit from a new scheme which is designed to help them navigate the many attractions in Northern Ireland more easily.

Belfast City Council's award-winning signage scheme uses a variety of attractive and unique signposts which point visitors in the right direction and help them locate attraction in Northern Ireland's capital city quicker and more easily.

Councillor William Humphrey, chairman of the council's development committee, said the initiative will assist the seven million people who visit the city every year.

"By helping to make the city easier to navigate and understand, we are not only improving the experience of visitors to Belfast, but also helping our own residents – often just by revealing a previously hidden architectural gem to them," he explained.

One of the many attractions in Northern Ireland worth seeing is the newly refurbished Belfast City Hall, which now has a coffee shop named the Bobbin where tourists can relax and enjoy a drink between sights.
