Titanic Quarter

There has been a tendency for Belfast to define certain parts of town as a «quarter» and at the rate we’re going, Belfast will soon have more quarters than an American phone booth, but I’m here to describe what is known as Titanic Quarter.
Titanic Quarter is basically the area from the Queens Bridge out as far as the Airport Rd roundabout in the east, and up the Queens Rd as far as Clearways. Mostly it’s centred on the Odyssey complex with most of the attractions clustered between the Odyssey and Titanic Belfast and it’s assorted places to visit, but apart from that, there’s not really a lot to see, sure the walk alongside the Lagan past the Nomadic is nice, but you do notice a hell of a lot of empty post industrial space where H&W had massive engineering facilities long since demolished. Part of me likes to sit at the Abercorn Basin and daydream about owning one of the yachts! Still it’s a constantly evolving area so if you’re reading this review in 2020, you may be wondering what the hell I’m talking about!

The Titanic Quarter is at the heart of a resurgent Belfast — home to our newest and most popular tourist attraction (Titanic Belfast) and steeped in rich industrial heritage it seems to have attracted tourists and corporate investment from across the globe.
The Titanic Quarter, in my head, starts at the Odyssey Arena and stretches down to Sydenham Road, despite not being too large there’s a lot to do and see in the TQ. As mentioned there is Titanic Belfast. The SS Nomadic, The Odyssey Arena, a Premier Inn and a great walk down to the NI Science Park past Harland and Wolf and the Game of Thrones filming studios.
Getting to The Titanic Quarter is easy — either you can walk across the footbridge from ‘The Big Fish’, cycle on the newly installed Belfast Bikes or get the train directly to the Titanic Quarter Station (Formerly Bridge End) from Central Station. I’d high;y recommend this part of Belfast for both tourists and locals — there walk along the Lagan towards the docks is spectacular on a sunny day.

way over priced. crammed together. a ride that reminds me of the ghost tran in Barry’s Portrush. nothing of any real interest to look at or do. couldn’t wait for it go end and wish I asked for my money back. just a poor effort all round, and will be telling others to spend their time and money on better things.

I had been bursting to visit the Titanic Quarter since it opened but as I’m disabled I didn’t know if it was disabled friendly or not and it would also mean that someone would have to come with me. But my son checked it out and booked it for me. We headed off for the day and I can honestly say that I have never had such an interesting, amazing, educational, emotional and fun day. The staff were wonderful and even when it came to the ride that takes you around the shipyard, I thought I couldn’t go on it but no, once again the staff swung into action, got me out of my wheelchair and left it at the other end of the tour. There are two restaurants there. One is more like a snack bar and the other more for meals. A bit pricey but the food was outstanding-​well worth the money. As we were leaving a male voice choir arrived and they were singing Nearer my God to thee. It sent goosebumps up my back. But you can really feel the atmosphere in there as there is a huge amount of information here if you take the time to look and read it all and take it all in, which I did. The building alone is so impressive and at the top you really feel how high you are when you look down. I would advise people to book it by phone or via the Internet because that way you avoid the queues and just walk past them all… and get the dirty looks! I would recommend it to anybody who is at all interested in the Titanic. I have a lovely picture of the building just before it opened but I don’t know how to put it up here yet. So whatever you do when you’re there, make sure you enjoy it.

I’m only commenting on the Titanic Museum here as we came to see that & not the multiplex or whatever else is part of the Quarter. Almost didn’t make it in though but managed to get the last tickets of the day so pre-​booking is probably the best idea as there are machines from which to collect your tickets rather than joining the queues, which I expect can be long earlier in the day than when we arrived (15:30).
Short of dunking you underwater there’s probably nothing more the museum could do to make the experience any more immersive. By the time you walk through all the displays and watch the audiovisual presentations (a good 90 minutes minimum) there’s a definite emotional impact, despite the outcome being known. Finding out that one poor woman had survived the Titanic sinking only to have to go through it all again, albeit with enough lifeboats, when a nurse onboard the sister ship Britannic was particularly striking.
The best attraction of its sort that I’ve been to for a long time.

Despite booking, queued for ages to get in. My sister’s kids were with us and were doing to toilet dance after 40 minutes waiting. Once in there were queues for each exhibit. Wanted to see the staircase but that is out of bounds to visitors. I wanted it to be be better, not expecting it to live up to the hype but be good. I was left feeling a bit disappointd.

The area is ok, not many places to park for free. The area is steeped in maritime history, and was once one of the biggest manufacturing ship yards in the world. The Titanic museum itself is quite interesting, with a lot of info to absorb. It’s quite eerie at times, and gets the old grey matter working a little. The price of entry to the museum is a little steep though £13 and should at least be halved. The Titanic gift shop of cheese just has to be visited :)
