Victoria Square, Belfast
Victoria Square shopping mall
Victoria Square is the new shopping destination in Belfast. It is an open, light-filled space and its streets, public areas and buildings express a character all of their own.
As the first development of this magnitude in Belfast, Victoria Square offers a mix like no other; integrating the best of retail with residential, restaurants, cafes, a cinema and most importantly a high quality parking facility.
The central feature of Victoria Square is the huge glass dome which dominates Belfast’s skyline, providing panoramic ouside views of the city and beyond.
From morning coffee to evenings out, a cosmopolitan lifestyle is a reality in Victoria Square. People live, work, shop, dine out and relax in one lively mix.
By integrating the highest quality parking facility with the best of retail, residential and leisure, Q-Park creates a great first impression when people arrive at Victoria Square.
