 | Belfast Shopping | Tips 1 - 10 of 11 |  |
Belfast city centre is rapidly filling up with the usual English chains but it is still possible to find some small, individually owned businesses. If you are looking for jewelry, be sure to check out the Queen's Arcade, there are several jewelry shops there, including one that specialises in amber and another that specialises in antiques.
Linen is popular as Belfast was once an important linen centre. You can find linen in 3 shops in the city centre and in an outlet shop on the Donegall Road (please contact me about directions - it is in a rather dodgy area!). Theme: OtherDirections: The main shopping area in Belfast is in the city centre - easily accessed on foot.

ROBINSON AND CLEAVER’S Department store that was!
Situated right opposite the City Hall in Donegall Sq. North architects Young and Mackenzie built this grand building during 1886-1888
It used to be one of Belfast’s most well known department stores, Robinson and Cleaver’s Royal Irish Linen Warehouse. Fifty heads of the firm’s patrons pop out of the exterior, including Queen Victoria, and the Maharajah of Cooch Behar, who laid out the rules of snooker in India in 1885! Heads also symbolise countries to which the firm sold products, including Canada and Scotland, which is shown as a Highland chief. During the 70's the store closed and the listed building now houses a variety of smaller shops and offices. This view is from the grounds of the City Hall. Leave a Comment Theme: Department Store

Belfast has a lot of what we call Spides. Young kids who give passers by abuse and were shiney tracksuits (usually white) with big white trainers and lots of gold jewelry. So lots of shops cater to them.
Also there are lots of shops for clubbers. You know the stuff. Nice shirts and trousers. Desert boots blah blah.
You need to look to retro shops such as Rusty Zip on Botanic Avenue or Liberty blue in the town centre. GAP and those sorts are here as are other big chains. I prefer to go away to Scotland to shop put it that way!!
Nothing there is nothing special to buy in Belfast. Its just like anywhere else.
A lot! Clothes are as expensive here as the rest of Britain. £50 for jeans £25+ for T-shirts if you are the trendy type. Visit primark or TK Max in Castle court for cheap and cheerful stuff. Leave a Comment Theme: Men's ClothesDirections: City Centre has almost all the clothes shops except Rusty Zip on Botanic Avenue near the University.

This cute shop's literally packed with all kinds of cards: birthday, anniversary, get well, with children, animals, teddybears...
The problem appears when you really have to decide which card to buy.
cards of course, and postcards
postcards-30p each
cards-depends Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: 28 Donegall PlacePhone: 028 9027 8963Directions: near Tesco's, but the opposite side of the street, you can't miss itWebsite: www.clintoncards.com

Suzanne & I loved this shop straight away... it's full of Goth teenagers and bearded bikers but damnit, I would wear that kind of stuff too except that black does not always suit me!
Here they sell the usual multi coloured floaty tops and skirts, hoodies with Limp Bizkit/Korn/Slipknot/Metallica etc on them.
I loved their range of t-shirts and jewellery. Leave a Comment Theme: JewelryAddress: 24 Rosemary StreetPhone: + 44 28 9024 2350

It is a large retail park with designer discount outlets such as Next, Marks & Spencer, Clarks, Levis and more.
I got a pair black high heels from Clarks for only £15, Levis for only £30.
Just be careful as a lot of products are marked as seconds and examine products carefully. Leave a Comment

In this rather small shop, you can find wonderful things like picture-frames, oil-paintings, calenders, clocks, mugs, postcards, perfumes, carvings, etc.
Depends on how much you're willing to spend Leave a Comment

THIS IS NOT A TIP FOR ANY ONE SHOP BUT AN ENTIRE STREET..OR IN THIS CASE AN AVENUE.
ROYAL AVENUE IS STRAIGHT IN FRONT OF CITY HALL AND RUNS FOR ABOUT A HALF MILE.
ON THIS AVENUE YOU CAN BUY ALMOST ANYTHING FROM NEWSPAPERS TO NEW CLOTHES AND LOADS MORE, PLUS YOU ARE SURE TO FIND THAT SPECIAL GIFT TO TAKE BACK HOME WITH YOU TO REMIND YOU OF BELFAST. IF THE WEATHER IS NOT SO GOOD THEN YOU CAN ALWAYS GO INTO THE CASTLE COURT SHOPPING CENTRE WHICH SITS RIGHT IN THE HEART OF ROYAL AVENUE. IN HERE YOU WILL FIND DOZENS MORE SHOPS AND PLACES TO EAT, OR JUST SIT IN A CAFE AND ENJOY A COFFEE WHILE YOU REST THOSE TIRED FEET AND WATCH THE WORLD GO BY....SO IF YOU LIKE YOUR SHOPPING YOU COULD DO WORSE THAN GIVE ROYAL AVENUE A TRY,
FOR SHOPPING IN THE HEART OF THE CITY ITS HARD TO BEAT. Theme: GiftsAddress: ROYAL AVENUEDirections: DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF CITY HALL.

This is Northern Ireland's largest shopping centre, so it's obviously one of the main places to shop. It's a two-storey mall of marble floors, glass domes, with plenty of natural light streaming in.
There's over 70 shops including; Debenhams, Gap, TK Maxx, Principles, Boots, Starbucks, Virgin Megastore, etc, etc. Theme: OtherAddress: Royal Avenue, Belfast.
