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.
