St George's Market

Getting around: In central Belfast near the River Lagan and the Titanic Quarter, a 10-15 minute walk from City Hall.

St George's Market is one of Belfast's oldest surviving attractions, a Victorian covered market hall dating to the 1890s that now runs food, craft, and antiques markets on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, each with a slightly different character. It's a working market rather than a tourist recreation, with local produce, street food, fresh fish, and live music adding to the atmosphere on weekends.

Saturday is generally considered the best day, combining the widest range of food stalls, crafts, and antiques under one roof, while Sunday leans more toward art and music. It's a good spot for lunch and browsing rather than a sightseeing stop with fixed exhibits.

Given the limited days it's open, it's worth checking the day of your visit before planning around it.
