Holiday In Belfast
Most places wouldn’t brag that they built the ill-fated Titanic, but Belfast marches to the beat of its own drum, thank you very much.
Once known as a rough-and-tumble city, Belfast—the largest city in Northern Ireland—has grown into a historic place proud of its past and present. Just don’t tell Belfast it’s gone soft when you’re eating brunch and going for long walks along the docks. Pick out your Belfast package deal and get to know the town.
Things to Do in Belfast
You’ve heard of the big ship, but did you know that Titanic was built right here in Belfast? Today, the city is home to Titanic Belfast, the largest museum in the world dedicated to the ship. Walk around the famous Harland & Wolff shipyard and step into interactive halls that make you feel like you’re right in the boiler rooms and cabins. There are also unique artefacts, like china, brochures and the last first-class dinner menu. Don’t feel like taking a boat around the city after the tour? Look into one of our sweet Belfast car hire options as an alternative.
You can’t go on holiday to Belfast without enjoying a pint, so make a stop at Old Bushmills Distillery, a 400-year old boozy attraction. From fire to taxation to prohibition, this tough mill continues to make strong whisky just the way you like it.
If you love a good drink, get those walking feet ready for Golden Mile. This stretch along Great Victoria Street passes by some of the top attractions in Belfast, such as Grand Opera House and Crown Liquor Saloon. It’s also peppered with heaps of pubs and music venues, if you want to hang with some locals during your Belfast holiday.
Shopping, Dining, Nightlife
Ready to shop? Give your credit card a workout when you visit Victoria Square, the biggest shopping destination in Belfast. This four-story shopping centre is the end-all, be-all, and it’s full of high-end stores and boutique shops. Remember: All that money saved from your Belfast package makes it easier to splurge without the guilt.
What do you get when you add sausage to fried potatoes? Happiness. When you’re on holiday in Belfast, you eat an Ulster fry every morning or they kick you out. OK, fine—you can stay. But why wouldn’t you want a plate full of sausages, soda bread, potato bread, eggs, bacon, beans and tomatoes? It’s the best. While you’re eating, try the fresh oysters, boxty and vegetable rolls. You’re welcome.
Belfast is known for its intimate pubs, but once the sun goes down, visit Crown Liquor Saloon. Regarded as one of the most famous bars in the world, this Victorian-style pub is known for its stained glass windows, intricate tile floors and good drinks. With money saved on your cheap Belfast package, you can buy the next round and make some friends.
