Amazing things to do in and around BELFAST | N Ireland | Travel Guide

Want a stunning weekend break? Then join us as we show you Belfast and the Causeway Coastal Route, on this Northern Ireland road trip! Amazing things to do in and around BELFAST

Visiting the "Game of Thrones" Dark Hedges, The Giants Causeway, Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, Titanic, Mount Stewart, sample the nightlife at some of the famous pubs in the Belfast City Centre and much more.

Belfast has stepped it up a gear and is now truly a fantastic destination for a weekend break. With flights from Europe at reasonable prices, you can bag a great deal within a low budget.

We hired a car to allow us to travel further out of the city and within just a 2 hours radius there are many attractions and beautiful and stunning locations/views.

We drove the Causeway coastal route in a loop so that we ended up back in Belfast at the end of the first day. Maps and links are in the video and below.
Setting out at 8am we started at the Dark Hedges, this enabled us to arrive at the Giants Causeway at 9.15am close to opening and to try and avoid the crowds.
We spent a few hours walking the coastal trails before the weather turned so we moved on by 10 miles to Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge. . Torr Head was our next stop, with views over to Scotland and the Mull of Kintyre.
Back in Belfast for the evening we sampled some Guinness and visited a few of the famous pubs in the Cathedral Quarter. It's very lively here and worth checking out the area. There is lots of choices.

On Sunday we started the day with an Ulster Fry at Maggie May's before driving the Shankill road to look at the murals. The Titanic Museum is £19 and at that price, you want to make sure you give yourself a few hours to see all the artefacts and outdoor locations. Sadly we didn't feel we had enough time to see it all and so passed on the entrance fee and walked around the free open areas. An excuse to come back and do this attraction properly sometimes!

To end our weekend, we had a beer at The Crown pub in the city centre. It's a very famous Victorian pub with all its original fixtures and fittings. See if you can find a free booth to sit and drink in!

Wonderful video. Especially enjoyed the music, added to the traveler’s senses. I can’t wait until the UK opens its doors to us Americans. Thank you for all your hard work and keeping me sane without my travels.

This is a lovely tour of modern Belfast, much changed since I visited many aeons ago, and so tourist-friendly, bringing to life so many historical aspects of Belfast. An excellent tour guide, also who, as a native, enhances the video greatly in her knowledge and her insights.

We visited in 2017. Absolutely loved our tour of the Belfast Murals, guided by a taxi driver who grew up on Shankhill Road; his personal stories of the “Troubles” made the history come to life. There is also an excellent local history museum there with archaeological and scientific displays, something of interest for everyone. We were in Belfast for a week to do genealogy research and hope to return another time when we will travel further west in Northern Ireland to visit the towns of my ancestors around Loch Erne. You’re right, bring layers, expect damp weather, but we found the people are kind and the shops and restaurants welcome everyone.

We're returning for another pub crawl next weekend, our first since before the covid fiasco...so many good bars with live music in the Cathedral quarter...also, the Crumlin road gaol is an absolute must visit👍

Hi Simon and Will 🤗🥰!
Another great video of Earth’s most famous and beautiful gems, thank you so very much 👍🏻❤️!
Should I not be mistaken, Giant’s Causeway was the location where some of the final scenes of „Star Trek - The motion picture” was filmed 🤔🙄!
Definitely one of the places I would like to visit, should I ever get the opportunity 😘!

Very well done! I visited Belfast, and then took a bus tour of the Northern Ireland coastline including seeing the Mull of Kintyre (Paul McCartney and Wings have a song about this) because it was bright and sunny until we reached Giant's Causeway & the Hedges.
Brought back great memories. Thanks!

One museum in Belfast I highly recommend, the Ulster Transport Museum. As well as historic trains, trams and buses, the museum talks about probably the most famous car built in Belfast, the Delorean DMC-12, aka the Back to the Future car

Very nice I enjoy your video, I grew up 4 miles from the Dark Hedges and the wonderful North Antrim Coast I can never too much of it, I hope you go back so much more to see there, I have travelled a lot of the work I am up to about 70 Countries but the UK tops them all for many things .

Loved this one and am enjoying your offering of former places visited and new places for us to explore :D. We visited family in N.Ireland in 1991 and 1996 (from Canada :)) and I can't wait to go back...it's been too long. Great choice of music and I particularly enjoy the scenery while driving, your maps, and the great suggestions for visits and food - pretty much everything eh? LOL One thing though, is it really a fry without black pudding?? I wonder why Maggie doesn't include it. Anyway, thanks so much for these great videos and your thoughtful commentary!

Giants causeway is not near Belfast but 55 miles away from it get the train to Coleraine from Great Victoria Street station then get the 402 bus from the bus and railway station to Ballycastle if you buy a £16.50 zone 4 I link card this will give you unlimited travel anywhere in NI
