Things to do in Belfast Northern Ireland
|
|
I got just about 24 hours here on my connection back home. Will arrive at 3pm in the afternoon tomorrow and need to head to the airport around the same time the following day.
Cheapest flight I could find had a long layover here and I quite fancied checking it out I like the Northern Irish far less of cunts than Scots and Welsh.
Anyone have any suggestions of what to do?
Should I hire a car? Airport looks quite central and easy/affordable to reach by cab but there might be something good to drive to.
Cheers!

Go to Crumlin Gaol
Titanic Museum was interesting..
Did a black cab tour, very good./ lasted about 2.5 hours for eur 50. He took us all over, and provided a very balanced view of both sides of the troubles.
Giants Causeway is up the coast, you have to pay to get in but it's worth it in my opinion.
Decent nightlife in Belfast too..

It's a good job you clarified that you meant Belfast in Northern Ireland.

You might find the Ardoyne area appealing. Take a leisurely late night stroll down Antrim Rd and hum Jerusalem to yourself.

Talk really loudly at people almost shouting, like The Reverend Ian Paisley.

Crumlin Road Gaol is worth a visit. Bit harrowing though. The Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge is worth a visit too.
Best fish restaurant, Mourne Seafood Bar. Great food.
The Crown in Great Victoria Street in the oldest bar in Belfast, opposite the Europa Hotel, which is the most bombed hotel in the world.
Great City, very friendly people.

Your post if it was dated in 1987 would be funny as fuck.

I was there last weekend - had a cracking time.
The murals on and around the Falls and Shankill Roads are fascinating. You can wonder round there or get a cab ride. Some great pubs in the The Entries. Went out in the evening at Lavery's which was decent.
I did a day trip to the Giant's Causeway - stunning. Bit of a pain to get there on public transport, should be easy though by car.

Don't want to be pendantic but you'll be hard pressed to find The Giants Causeway in Portrush, it's 9 miles down the coast.
Just be careful about Robinsons in the city centre, it's a beautiful old bar but there's always a few hallions about it looking to fleece tourists.

Nordern Ireland is beautiful, Belfast is one of the most fun cities in europe.
As well as the culture and architecture, just turn any corner and you will uncover a surprising number of IRA arms caches.

A black cab tour is a must, if only to see the murials down the lower Shankill and Falls Road. The guides are brilliant, funny and informative.
It's a lovely city, enjoy yourself.
