You slide into a top-of-the-range Mercedes V-Class and the city unfurls: red-brick docks, the low roar of Belfast Lough, and the limestone shoulders of Cave Hill rising like a silent outpost. The vehicle hums; your guide threads stories through the panes — political murals that stare back from terraced streets, shipyard cranes that still puncture the skyline, and the angular silhouette of the Titanic building where the ship was imagined.
