Did you know a recent UN report put Belfast as the world's second safest city for tourists, behind Tokyo? Or that air conditioning was invented right here? These, and many other off-beat facts, form just part of a Black Cab Tour.

The drivers, among them Blue Badge-trained Billy Scott, begin at the industrial Titanic Quarter before moving onto the revamped cultural and nightlife hub that is the Cathedral Quarter.

Next it's the Shankill & Falls where murals portray NI's social and political past from the Plantation to the US Presidents and, of course, our troubled modern history.

The tour ends at gentrified Queen's Quarter via city centre plaques marking the achievements of esteemed locals Ferguson and Dunlop who invented the tractor and pneumatic tyre respectively.

There really is more to this city than meets the eye...
