Belfast, que a menudo se pasa por alto en favor de la animada capital de la República de Irlanda, Dublín, es una ciudad rica en historia, cultura y “diversión“ de Irlanda del Norte. Después de deshacerse de su reputación devastada por la guerra en los últimos años, Belfast ha experimentado una transformación radical y ahora ofrece una gran cantidad de museos, restaurantes y alojamientos elegantes. Los principales lugares de interés de cualquier recorrido por la ciudad de Belfast son el Titanic Belfast en el Titanic Quarter, el Ayuntamiento y el centro cultural de Cathedral Quarter, donde la Catedral de Santa Ana, también conocida como Catedral de Belfast, y un laberinto de calles adoquinadas se prestan bien para caminar Excursiones. Los amantes de la historia pueden realizar una visita guiada por la infame Crumlin Road Gaol, anteriormente llena de peligrosos convictos, y para los entusiastas del mar y las familias, el HMS Caroline es un gran lugar para pasar la tarde. La proximidad de Belfast a Giant's Causeway hace que la capital de Irlanda del Norte sea una plataforma de lanzamiento ideal para excursiones de un día hacia y a lo largo de la ruta costera de la Calzada, cuyos otros puntos destacados incluyen el puente de cuerda Carrick-a-Rede, el castillo de Dunluce y la destilería Bushmills. Y los fanáticos del exitoso programa de HBO “Games of Thrones“ aprovecharán la oportunidad de hacer un recorrido turístico por las cuevas de Cushendun, el castillo de Carrickfergus, la macabra carretera Dark Hedges y otros lugares de rodaje de GoT.
