Exhausted student? Sick of working from home? Or maybe you need a private and quiet space to work on that all important project. Belfast is filled with students and professionals alike and the city has plenty of optimal spaces for peace and quiet – take a look at these picks for the top places to study and co-work in the Northern Irish capital.

1. Linen Hall Library

Library

The Linen Hall library is situated in Belfast’s City Centre, popular for those interested in Irish manuscripts and local history books. The study spaces are quaint and quiet, a great alternative to The McClay library, where you will struggle to find a seat from April-July. You can also book a great historical tour, or visit an exhibition during the Writers on Writers Festival, which takes place this June, celebrating some of the greatest Irish writers of all-time. Check out the events schedule here.

Any of the local coffee shops on offer

You don’t need to travel the world to taste great coffee: Belfast is a previous host of an international Coffee Festival and offers up some of the best coffee houses in Europe. The Pocket is a great quiet spot for solo study and is located on the opposite side of Queen’s University. The National Grande Café is an upmarket café for those who want fantastic service and food to accompany their work. An all-time-favourite is Established Coffee, which has plenty of laptop-friendly study space in the Cathedral Quarter of the city. There are so many local businesses to choose from, you won’t visit a Starbucks again!
