Set sail to the birthplace of the Titanic on your next European holiday. Belfast, the capital of Northern Ireland, has witnessed a coming of age in recent years. Belfast tourism reflects this transformation, with an increasing number of travellers choosing to visit the city every year.
Here’s a bit more about the country so that you know just why.
Belfast is set on the mouth of the River Lagan, which reflects its ship-building history. And there are yet another eleven rivulets that flow around the city. Hills surround one side of the city, adding another geographic dimension to it.
Belfast experiences temperate or oceanic climate, with temperatures around the year staying within a narrow range. The Gulf Stream affects the weather to an extent, making Belfast slightly milder than other destinations set on the same latitude.
Historically a working-class town, Belfast retains its humble atmosphere even as you walk past Victorian era streets. A city once rife with divides has stepped into a new era of acceptance. Today it is a bustling capital, brimming with museums, fine architecture, lush gardens and a delicious culinary scene. Not everyone wants the hustle and bustle of London. Here, you get a taste of a similar heritage, in a way that you’ll remember forever.
Belfast tours can be as long or short as you’d like, and you’ll still get to see all of its wonders.
An interesting way to discover the story of Belfast, it’s history, politics and landmarks, is by taking a Black Cab tour. In just a few hours, you’ll get to see all the places that are of interest to you, sitting in the back of a local taxi!
The Titanic experience is another big part of Belfast tour, much like the pub walks, museums and parks.
