It all started with the exciting idea of sharing the stories of this interesting city. After several conversations at Kelly's Cellar, the Belfast Free Tour in Spanish was born. We are delighted to welcome you to this city. We invite you to join us to explore "the little city". What better way to understand the history, the people and the stories that have helped shape this city, from the early days of the Norman Conquest, through the arrival of the English Revolution and industrialization in Belfast today with one of our passionate guides.

Tour description

Do you dare to walk the darker side of Belfast?

Imagine a city where the streets hide secrets of public executions, brutal murders, silenced rebellions, and shocking traditions.

This is no conventional tour: it's an immersive experience that takes you through centuries of dark history, told with passion, irony, and a hint of mystery.

We begin in the heart of the city, where the screams of the hanged still echo. We'll visit the sites of the most infamous executions, learn about the sinister Shankill Butchers, the body snatchings from ancient churches, the Georgian red-light district, and much more.

We'll also explore legendary taverns, deadly epidemics, and the cruel reality of Victorian prisons.

Along the way, you will explore:

⛪ Rosemary Street – Presbyterian Church and religious repression.
🍻 White's Tavern
🎶 The Four Corners
🚨 Donegall Street
💃 Hill Street
💀 Waring Street
⛪ Church of St George
🏛️ The Jailhouse Pub

The tour ends at Dunnes Stores , site of the former Belfast Castle and the execution of rebel Henry Joy McCracken.

This tour is for those who are not afraid to look the past in the eye.
Reserve your spot and let yourself be guided by the shadows of Belfast. Darkness also has its light... if you know where to look.
