Belfast and holiday might not be two terms you would normally associate due to the 30 years of political troubles the city has suffered, but according to the Frommer’s Guide the city is one of the top 12 destinations in the world!
So has Belfast changed that much and does it deserve this new reputation? It seems the answer is very much – yes. Over the past few years Belfast has gone through somewhat of a renascence in terms of tourism and now features a new Waterfront which attracts several of the worlds largest cruiseliners along with flights directly into the city’s International airport from the rest of the UK and further afield.
The city features a wealth of accommodation to suit all budgets from the central Europa Hotel which has now been completely revamped to a myriad of smaller family owned B&B’s which of course feature the world famous Irish humour and hospitality.
There are also a large range of attractions from the Belfast Zoo, Grand Opera House, Belfast Castle and the new Odyssey complex. Possibly the most famous image of Belfast comes from the giant cranes of the historic shipyards of Harland and Wolff where the Titanic was constructed.
