neighbourhood

Welcome to
Belfast.

"electrifying music scene."

Recently named a UNESCO City of Music, Belfast is famous for its electrifying music scene. Students living here can expect to see some of the best music events in the UK, inside iconic venues like Ulster Hall and the SSE Arena.

It really is no surprise that Belfast folk are so proud of their musical history – the city has birthed some of the world’s favourite artists, after all. Throughout the generations, we’ve seen Van Morrison, Two Door Cinema Club and Bicep emerge from Belfast. So, if you live here, you might just see the rising of another star.

“Immerse yourself in the bustle.”

Belfast is a city best explored by foot or bike, with plenty of opportunity to immerse yourself in the bustle. By day, shop for your high-street favourites at Victoria Square, or wander through St George’s Market, a historic market that first opened in the Victorian era. Vita Student Belfast is in the heart of the city centre – so exploring is as easy as stepping out of your door.

By night, head to Cathedral Quarter. This is where all the students in Belfast go to let their hair down after a long week of study. Not only is it home to countless restaurants and pubs, but also loads of trendy bars and nightclubs to get your dancing fix.
