Campus Map

All major UK cities are within an hours flying time of Belfast and Dublin is just a couple of hours drive away. Belfast has two airports and great transport links from both Dublin and all major ports. Belfast is a compact city that is really easy to get around on foot. If you need to take public transport, the metro bus stops right outside Queen's main building.

Please note ...

❗ There is no capacity to reserve, book or pay for car parking at this venue.

Therefore, all should be informed not to commute to this site via car from the outset, as this will most likely end in disappointment. On busier days, University security will be on hand, to restrict access to site when it becomes necessary.
