The Europa Bus Station on Glengall Street may be your first port of call in Belfast - and here's the Waterfall of Souvenirs to welcome visitors. This five-metre high ceramic waterfall was made by John Kindness in 1991. Look out for flying pigs.... |

And just across the street from the Europa Bus Station is the world-famous Crown Liquor Saloon. |

A most unusual
ceramic survivor is the huge Carter's mural on Transport House, High Street,
built in 1956-9. The mural's designer is unknown; it depicts Belfast's
industries including aircraft manufacture and shipbuilding. The Twentieth Century Society Building of the Month April 2005 |

Finally to the new quayside and The Big Fish on Donegall Quay. This ten-metre long salmon made a big splash in Belfast in 1999. The designer was John Kindness; the images on the 'skin' relate to Belfast's history. |
