A city full of history and many tales ! I visited Belfast for a weekend and even though I had been before it didn't disappoint! A quick 35 mins flight from Liverpool Airport I wanted into Belfast city airport which is located 10 mins from the city centre. I stayed in the Cathedral Quarter which is a great place to stay to experience many bars and great for shopping. Live music is available in lots of pubs and in true Irish style they are always a great craic ! Belfast is flat and easily explored by foot, you can take the riverside walk down to the Maritime area and explore the Titanic museum. I enjoyed taking a black cab political tour up Falls Road along the wall and down Shankill Road, the tour guide told us stories of how it was living in Belfast during the 'Troubles' it was very interesting. From Belfast you can enjoy a day excursion north to the Giants Causeway - I spent a week here a few years back and I would highly recommend visiting this area ! I see Belfast as an up and coming city very similar to Dublin without the price tag !
