About Belfast

Belfast is a city rebuilding itself in plain sight, its Titanic and Troubles history worn openly rather than hidden away.

The great cranes of the shipyard still loom over a gleaming museum where the doomed liner was built, and political murals line the walls of once-divided neighbourhoods. The Cathedral Quarter has filled with bars, music and a fast-growing confidence the city earned the hard way.

Just up the coast the basalt columns of the Giant's Causeway step down into the sea.

Eat a heaped Ulster fry and settle in for a pint and live music in a Cathedral Quarter pub.

Day trips from Belfast

Half day
Dark Hedges
~50 min
An avenue of 250-year-old beech trees grown into a tunnel of twisted branches — Game of Thrones' Kingsroad, at its eeriest in morning fog before the crowds arrive.
Day trip
Carrick-a-Rede
~1 h
A rope bridge swaying thirty metres above the sea to a tiny fishermen's island, on a coastline of white chalk cliffs and turquoise coves. Not for shaky knees.
Day trip
Giant's Causeway
~1 h 15 min , ~2 h 15 min
Forty thousand interlocking basalt columns stepping down into the Atlantic — in legend the road of the giant Finn McCool, in geology a 60-million-year-old lava flow. The Causeway Coast drive there is half the reward.
