Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Jordan RobinsonBelfast, UK7 contributionsThis is one of the best tours I have taken in Belfast, I went to boarding school just round the corner from the graveyard and have always wondered what it was like inside. The first time i went it was with my partner and my mom as we all have a keen interest in history. The person who took the tour clearly lived and breathed history and it really came across in the tour. I recently took the alternative ulstours Friday the 13th tour (yes I’ve been twice and plan on going again) at the graveyard and it was also fantastic. Such a small bit of land but soo much history, it’s hard to comprehend. If you’re reading this review trying to decide if it’s worth it. Trust me it is.Written 19 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Frankie TBelfast, UK1,390 contributionsThere are some interesting graves in this cemetery and the City Cemetery across the road.
Why not combine it with a walk through the pleasant Falls Park which lies between the 2 cemeteries.
The glider G1 stops outside the City Cemetery and for ÂŁ4 a day ticket it is the cheapest way to see Belfast West to east.
You can easily get out to the cemeteries by bus and back in about 2 to 3 hours. This will allow you time to see the main Republican plots, poor grave areas and war graves.
You can also jump off the bus at Clonard and have a look at the beautiful monastery.Written 26 September 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Have observed the locked gates for many years and often wondered what was to be found behind them. It did not disappoint, some great insights into Belfast history.Written 12 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- 1981Lillian81Belfast, UK78 contributionsa really enjoyable hour of wandering through a really interesting old graveyard while our guide "brought to life" excuse the pun - the lives of so many interesting people who are buried here. The guide had such a depth of knowledge of dates - events and put these into context as he moved between the various graves - his stories were so interesting, without being in any way disrepectful of the surroundings. He was able to touch on so many important parts of the history of Belfast and Ireland in such a way as to want you to find out more - a very skilled guide.Written 28 September 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- kvasirLondon, UK1,265 contributionsHighly educative walking tour led by Dara Bennett not only informed us of the history of this and other cemeteries, but also weaves in a fascinating discourse on the economic and social history of Belfast, and also of a diversity of colourful characters who have shaped its evolution over the past two Centuries.Written 30 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
