Belfast – The Mouth of the Sandbars
As colourful as Barcelona, and more Irish than Dublin, Belfast cradles an active port on the banks of Belfast Lough, surrounded by rolling green hills. A recent facelift, combined with the optimism affected by the peace process, has seen its night life thrive, and it has evolved a reputation as a playful and hospitable city. While Belfast still wears the scars of its turbulent past in more ways than one, the populations are super friendly and the city oozes an infectious confidence. One of the most entertaining ways to see the city is by going on the World Famous Black Taxi Tours of Belfast. Tailor your tour with local stories and wit, or visit the Shipyards — where HMS Titanic was built — see the political districts and war-torn sectors and the elegant University Quarter and Museum district. The North Antrim Coast is also close by where you can explore the Dunluce Castle, the Carrick-a-rede Rope Bridge, Bushmills Distillery and the Giants Causeway. Finish your trip with a bowl of Irish Stew and a pint of Guinness to wash it all down. Belfast breaks are a brilliant experience that will take you into the heart of Irish history.
