You step out under a low grey sky and the river Lagan pulls your eye toward the docks — rusted gantries and modern glass share the shoreline like two storytellers arguing over the same past. The guide draws you toward the Big Fish, its ceramic scales nodding to old legends and the hidden Farset beneath the streets; the city’s story is spoken in brick, bronze and narrow alleys.
