Where should you park when visiting Cathedral Quarter Belfast?
The practical answer
The Cathedral Quarter covers several streets, so choose parking based on the part you are visiting.
For **St Anne's Cathedral / Donegall Street**, Belfast Cathedral has a **private paid car park** with card payment. For a longer evening covering bars, restaurants and more of the quarter, **CastleCourt** is a practical larger option. Belfast City Council also operates charged car parks around **Little Donegall Street, Corporation Street and Exchange Street**.
The quarter is easy to explore on foot once parked, so avoid driving from venue to venue. Pick one legitimate car park on the correct side of the city centre and leave the car there.
If you are staying late, check the closing/retrieval rules of the car park you choose; some multi-storeys allow overnight parking but do not allow vehicle retrieval while the facility itself is closed.
