20 things to do in Belfast Travel Guide
Belfast is the capital city and largest city in Northern Ireland. This destination hasn't always been popular with visitors due to a conflict known as The Troubles; however, in recent years Belfast has experienced a resurgence and it's slowly starting to make a name for itself. We gave ourselves a few days to explore the city, and the result is the following video showcasing 20 things to do in Belfast:

20 things to do in Belfast Travel Guide | Top Attractions Travel Video Transcript:
Well hello from Northern Ireland. This week we are traveling around Belfast and we only have three days in the capital so we're going to try and cover as much ground as we possibly can and show you some of the highlights.
The RMS Titanic was the largest ship afloat at the time it entered service, and it was built by the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast. The Titanic Belfast exhibition, tells the stories of the Titanic's ill-fated maiden voyage in 1912 and it is one of the top attractions in the city.
Right now we're on board the SS Nomadic, the little sister of the Titanic, and we're going to take a full tour of the ship.
The SS Nomadic was a steamship built as a tender to the RMS Titanic. It was her job to ferry passengers, baggage, and supplies to and from the shore.
Next up we are heading inside St George's Market, which we've been told is more than just a farmer's market. Apparently, aside from buying food there you can catch some live shows, go shopping for vintage items, jewelry. So we're going to head inside and see what it is like. And it is only open on the weekends.
Queen's University Belfast is one of the oldest universities in the United Kingdom. It also happens to have a really nice campus, so we decided to take a little stroll.
The Botanic Gardens first opened as a private garden in 1828, and for many years the public only had access on Sundays. Today anyone can visit and it's a beautiful place to walk around, especially if you luck out with sunshine.
So if you take a look at my pint over here you might be thinking I'm having Guinness. It does look a lot like Guinness but in fact it is Belfast Black. And I have to say it tastes just as good if not better.
For 360 degree views of Belfast, we recommend going to Victoria Square Shopping Centre, and riding the elevator up to the dome. This will give you a nice bird's eye view of Belfast.
So to wrap things up here in Belfast I'm going to mention three things I really liked about the city.
First off it is highly affordable. One of the best bargains you can get is a day pass for the bus. It's really cheap and it allows you to travel anywhere in the city unlimited usage.
Secondly, this is a very friendly city. Almost anytime we brought out a map we had a local coming up to offer help. And we just found that whenever we took taxi rides or were in restaurants locals really went the extra distance to make us feel welcome here.
And lastly this is a very walk-able city. Most of the attractions are clustered.
And that's it for our quick trip to Belfast! As you can probably see, our visit was fairly short so we didn't get to do it all. If you have any suggestions of other sights and attractions worth checking out around Belfast, feel free to share those in the comments below.
This is part of our Travel in Northern Ireland series. We're making a series of videos showcasing Irish culture, Irish arts, Irish foods, Irish religion, Irish cuisine and Irish people.

On a private one-on-one black cab tour round Belfast. My driver (Tom) dropped me here and drove round the block. As a tourist, it was fine - but still strange to be in such an infamous location.
Lake District, The Complete Tour, England

our tour arranged by:
Four of the top activities are exploring the towns, taking boat rides, do a little nature walking, and take a driving tour of the region to see the other nearby lakes and quaint villages. Most of our program takes place during a van tour of the lakes that visits 10 different lakes, including Brotherswater, Derwent Water, Grasmere, Ullswater and Windermere. On the van ride we also take a walk in the village of Grasmere, famous for William Wordsworth. You will be amazed by Castlerigg Stone Circle, 4500 years old, one of the area’s historic gems. Then we take a lunch stop in Keswick, whilst exploring the traditional Lakeland market town. We also do a Lake Cruise, enjoying uninterrupted views of the Lakeland fells from Derwent Water.
You can pick from a variety of kinds of excursion boats on Lake Windermere: you can have a one-hour cruise or go for an all-day expedition. You could enjoy a cruise with dinner, there are hydrofoils, rowboats or sailboats for rent -- all kinds of nautical activities exist here on the shores of Lake Windermere.
By the end of the 18th century the region was already becoming popular with visitors and this has steadily grown to the point where today nearly 20 million annual visitors enjoy the beauties of this special place. This huge amount of tourists can be a challenge to deal with in your visit, but you will find the beauties of the natural landscapes make your efforts quite worthwhile. In this show we have useful suggestions to help your planning.
Summer season is obviously most crowded and brings with it the best weather with least chances of rain, so take your chances, but we suggest the shoulder season, like the visit shown here which was during May, a perfect time to visit. We never felt inconvenienced by any crowds. After all, facilities like hotels and restaurants are able to handle the peak crowds of summer, so if you are here in May, with proper reservations at a decent hotel, you will have no problems. Of course the summer is when everybody wants to be here but we find that May is ideal.
You’ll need to spend at least several nights in the area this to really get a chance to see the charming countryside, explore some towns, go shopping, and perhaps enjoy some fine dining. This is actually two towns joined together as one: Windermere is a mile to the north and Bowness-on-Windermere lies along the shores of the lake. Each center has its cluster of shops and restaurants, but the main focus is down at Bowness, which has most of the hotels and that special setting along the water.
The town of Bowness is a good base of operations for heading out to see the other lakes in the district and enjoying some day tours as we will be doing.
Windermere is the largest and the longest lake in the British Isles, about 10 miles long with a 24-mile circumference, and there are several villages along the shores of the lake. We see Lake Windermere the easy way, on a boat ride.
We are travelling in mid-May and ran into some great weather. And actually it’s quite pleasant the temperature here is in the low 70s there is a slight breeze on the lake but not terribly windy. a most pleasant day.
The temperature is pleasant enough that it’s comfortable to sit outside, After all you want the view -- that’s why we’re enjoying this boat ride, to have a look at this charming rolling countryside along the shores of the lake of Windermere.
Some of us decided to get off the boat at Ambleside which is one of the main small towns here in the Lake Country. There's a level nature trail from the boat dock to Ambleside town passing first through an open meadow with some Roman ruins visible, and then along beautiful stream. We also get to see the sheep frolicking around. The walk only took about the walk only took about 30 minutes.
We came upon foundations of ancient Roman buildings. From such forts the Romans could control hundreds of square miles. the army was staffed in part by Roman soldiers and mercenaries, some of them from Yugoslavia. Roman rule began in Britain back in A.D. 43. A massive army of 40,000 soldiers quickly conquered most of the island and Romans remained in control for the next 300 years.
When the path follows along the stream it becomes so beautiful, lined with wildflowers, that you feel you stepped into some kind of movie or dream. Those few minutes became one of the top highlights of the three-week tour of the British Isles. A simple walk through the woods could provide a transcendental experience.

Things to do in Belfast 2019 - Belfast Tourism / Belfast City - Fun, Free things to do in Belfast
Things to do in Belfast - My Favourite Belfast City Attractions that I recommend to all my visiting friends.
Europa Hotel - 4 star and is known as the “Most bombed hotel in Europe and even the world” having suffered 36 bomb attacks during the troubles, it was such a symbol of Belfast and is today. It was opened in 1971 on the site of the former Great Northern Railway station. It has 272 bedrooms, lobby bar, a Piano Bar Lounge; great for tea and looking out at Belfast go by… Bill and Hillary Clinton stayed here and had a suite renamed the Clinton Suite!
Crown Liquor Saloon (opens 11.30 to midnight Monday to Saturday, 12.30-11 pm Sunday) AKA The Crown Bar – best-known pub in Northern Ireland – opened as “The Railway Tavern” and it was sold in 1885, renamed and refurbished in 1885 and only twice since then! Italian craftsmen were bought to Ireland to work on the many churches being built at the time and the pub owner persuaded these guys to work in the pub after hours (maybe paid in beer!)
Robinsons next door would also be very famous and is a large bar filled with Titanic memorabilia. It was opened in 1895 and has Fibber Magee’s with traditional music, lunch and more.
Golden Mile, stretches from Great Victoria Street, Dublin Road, Bradbury Place to University Road, includes the Crown Salon and Grand Opera House and would be a main area for clubs, bars, restaurants and theatres in Belfast. It would have been the main area back 20 years ago.
Queens University Part of the Queens Quarter of Belfast, which is one of 6 cultural areas. It opened in 1810, being granted university status in 1908. It is one of the largest employers in Northern Ireland and has a global reputation for research, attracting many international students. Famous alumni include former Irish President Mary McAleese, poet Seamus Heaney and actor Liam Neeson
Ulster Museum
Located in Botanic Gardens, it’s the largest museum in Northern Ireland, 8,000 sq meters of display from fine art especially Irish Art to archaeology to treasures from the Spanish Armada and walks through local history. A more recent addition was the Game of Thrones Tapestry, a temporary exhibition which was created from Linen from one of the last surviving linen mills in Northern Ireland. This dictates many of the famous scenes from the TV show and is a celebrate of the shows creation in Northern Ireland. (
Botanic Gardens - 28 acres opened in 1828, opened all year. It started as a private park and became public when the Belfast council purchased it in 1895. It has its own Palm House Conservatory which opened in 1840 and is one of the earliest cast iron glasshouses in the world. There are 2 wings, the cool wing and tropical wing and includes 400 year old plants! So anyone into plants will love this stop.
Belfast City Hall
Located in Donegall Square, opened in 1906 it stands on the site that was one the White Line Hall, an international Linen Exchange. The street from the back of the Hall is in what is called “the Linen Quarter” and the street name is “Linen Hall Street”. (
St Anne’s Cathedral or Belfast Cathedral is the Church of Ireland and was also completed in 1904. It was built on the grounds of an old parish church that existed since 1776 called “St Anne “. Originally only the nave of the cathedral was built with other sections added through the years. The “spire of hope” was added in 2007 which is a 40 metre steel spire. (
Brings you out to “Albert Clock” Completed in 1869 – another famous landmark of Belfast. It was built on wooden piles in Marshy reclaimed land around the River Farset, the top of the tower leans 4 feet to the side. (
Walk through Queens Square to St. George’s Market, last covered Victorian market in Belfast. It was built between 1890 and 1896 and today up to 300 traders, crafters, musicians and amazing food are available on site. Free entry and open Friday, Saturday and Sunday with the weekend days the biggest. Holds events during the week.
SS Nomadic It was launched in 1911 and owned by White Star Line. It was a passenger ship to the RMS Olympic and RMS Titanic and is the only White Star Line vessel in existence today. It was built in slipway 1, Olympic was in slipway 2 and Titanic in slipway 3.
Titanic Belfast Opened in 2012 , a monument to Belfast maritime history on the former site of H&W shipyard where the Titanic was built. It tells the complete story of the Titanic which sunk hitting an iceberg in 1912. It has been voted one of the best tourist attractions in the world.
