Belfast is certainly becoming the place to shop with the opening of the New Victoria Square Centre in the heart of the City. This massive shopping centre sits on the grounds of the old Victoria Centre and the old IDB building in Chichester Street area of Belfast City. The building represents a new era in Belfast as it is covered in an enormous amount of glass, with even the canopy being made of glass, a sight rarely seen in Belfast due to the troubles. The new Victoria Square Centre also features a huge dome, visible on the Belfast skyline, and affords shoppers to the centre an excellent view of Belfast City. Why not visit and take you own Belfast photos.

Not all the shops, restaurants and entertainment facilities (cinemas) are open yet but various stores are open and doing healthy trade. The anchor store for the complex is House of Frazer, Belfast store, with other stores set to move in such as the Carphone Warehouse and Top Shop. Above the shopping centre are apartments, including penthouse apartments should you fancy living in the Heart of Belfast City Centre. You can enter the Victoria Square Centre from House of Frazer, Chichester Street entrance, from Victoria Street, from Anne Street or even from Corn Market, so happy Belfast shopping.
