If a takeaway sandwich in the sunshine is more your style, there are plenty of great places to sit outside and watch the passersby. Whether you’re north or south of the river, there are lots of benches along the riverfront offering great views.
Potters Fields Park is a beautiful green public space with views of the river, City Hall and HMS Belfast. Bring a note pad and pen and you can pretend to do some work while enjoying the great outdoors.
