Opening times in Belfast during Easter

Posted on March 19, 2014March 19, 2014 by Belfast Guide

Hello! I am considering visiting Belfast during Easter, but I wonder whether everything is closed throughout Easter, of if shops, restaurants and attractions will be open.

First of all thank you for the question. Things are in general open in Belfast throughout most of the Easter holidays. Good Friday and Easter Monday are bank holidays, and Easter Sunday is also a day when things are closed. But,, the fact that the Friday and the Monday are bank holidays, does not mean that nothing happens. On both days most shopping malls, restaurants and stores will remain open, and the same is true also for the most important Belfast attractions. However, on Easter Sunday shops will be closed throughout the entire day.

So what can be done on Easter Sunday in Belfast? Our best advice is to use the day to visit the fantastic Titanic museum.

If you have more Easter in Belfast related questions, or maybe some insight and advices on the subject of Easter in Belfast, write a comment and share what is on your mind!
