Stand on a quay where the River Lagan cuts a bright line through the city and imagine the scaffolding of shipyards that once shaped Belfast’s skyline. A Lokafyer meets you with a map not of routes but of stories — from the grit of the Harland & Wolff slipways to murals that mark political memory — and the walk becomes a conversation that redirects standard sightseeing into lived experience.
