Come and explore the sights and sounds of a vibrant music city with a specialist music guide and musician! Belfast is the only city on the island of Ireland to have gained the status of UNESCO City of Music.

This fun walking tour is the only tour to cover a wide range of music genres - from folk and pop to punk, and from classical and hip hop to jazz and lots more! Guests will enjoy a special tour playlist along the way.

You will see some cool music venues, including traditional bars and clubs, historic buildings, open air performance spaces and even a church.
