Belfast is the capital city of Northern Ireland<\/a>. Although part of the United Kingdom, it sits north of the Republic of Ireland border and is but an hour’s drive from Dublin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most notably, however, Belfast forms part of County Antrim and, for travellers, it’s also not too far from the famous Giant’s Causeway, located just one hour north.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best things to do in Belfast <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wearing its mantle as the United Kingdom’s capital of cool with pride, Belfast has shrugged off the shackles of its troubled past and emerged as a trendy art and cultural hub. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consequently, the list of best things to do in Belfast is as grand <\/em>as it gets in the Emerald Isle. Here are some of our personal favourites to add to this epic Belfast travel guide:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Titanic Belfast<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"The<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Titanic Belfast is one of the UK’s top-rated attractions and also holds the World Travel Awards title of the World’s Leading Tourist Attraction. On your own ‘titanic’ journey, you’ll begin by exploring the actual shipyard where the ill-fated RMS Titanic was built. Visitors can tour the grounds, view simulations of the ship’s exterior and hear stories from passengers in the city where it all began. A testament to the city’s proud maritime heritage, Titanic Belfast extends over nine thrilling interactive galleries, so you’ll want to dedicate some quality time to ensure you see all the highlights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belfast’s Cathedral Quarter<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Walking<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Get lost wandering around Belfast’s\nCathedral Quarter. This hip area of the city encircles St Anne’s Cathedral and\nis home to the annual Belfast Film Festival and International Arts Festival. The\nCathedral Quarter certainly is the place to come if you’re in the mood to catch\na local comedy show or theatre performance. Stay out late and pop into one of\nthe pubs or shops that line the cobbled alleyways to embrace the full extent of\nthe city’s lively nightlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s been over 30 years since ‘The Troubles’ ended in Belfast. But, standing resolute as a testament of those dark days are the colourful mural-lined walls which once separated communities in the Northern Irish capital. These Peace Walls are dotted throughout Belfast, but also Derry, Portadown and Lurgan. The most noteworthy to view in Belfast, however, is the famous 800-metre Peace Wall splitting Shankill and Falls roads, which were at the epicentre of tensions since the 1800s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use Belfast as your base and\ntake a side trip to one or several of the famous Game of Thrones’ film sets.\nPop over to Castle Ward and Country Antrim where you can snap photos of “Castle\nBlack”, the \u201cDark Hedges\u201d, the \u201cHaunted Forest\u201d and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brace yourself for the weather<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Northern<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It may be a wee<\/em> bit wet in these parts, but a little rain has never dampened the city’s charms. Think of the weather as part and parcel of the Belfast experience \u2013 unpredictable and requiring preparation. In the words of Sir Ranulph Fines: \u201cThere is no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing.\u201d Our advice? Best pack for all seasons \u2013 even in one day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best way to get around?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Best<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Belfast is a perfect city for walkers. It’s small enough that walking is often the quickest and most enjoyable way to see the major sights. However, if you’re disinclined to get around under your own steam, there are Metro bus services during the day, as well as black cabs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to eat and drink?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Northern Ireland has undergone a food and drink renaissance<\/a>. \u00a0And not to be outdone, its capital has emerged as a trendy culinary hotspot, something justifiably part and parcel of any Belfast travel guide. Dress up for a Michelin-star dinner, follow your nose to soul-warming gastropubs or sip artisan craft beers and enjoy a gab with a local. It goes without saying that a dram<\/em> of homegrown Bushmills whisky or fine gin is the perfect afternoon tipple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"St<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Our favourite foodie haunt is none other than Belfast’s St. George’s Market. From Friday to Sunday, pop into the market for an incredible array of fresh produce and snacks. Here you can spend an afternoon soaking up the atmosphere while listening to some of the best local musicians live. The market is an attraction in its own right, being the city’s last covered Victorian market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other essential need-to-knows<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Currency<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Since Northern Ireland is part of the UK, bring along your pounds (GBP). There is no visible Irish border but when you cross it, you’ll need to switch currency accordingly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etiquette<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Be respectful. Decades of ‘The Troubles’ have left scars on the hearts of many. If you’re curious, ask the right people about their thoughts on the country’s history. Approach it with an open mind and never joke about it with a stranger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Passports and visas<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Northern Ireland is part of the UK. So if you need a visa for the UK, you’ll need a visa for Belfast even though there is no official border or customs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
