As the largest city in Northern Ireland, there are a lot of fun things to do in Belfast. Thanks to its famous industrial and maritime heritage, the town boasts an array of fun activities around the former major port. Did you know that the most famous ship ever built—the Titanic—hailed from a Belfast shipyard? If you're a fan, you wouldn't want to miss out on the Titanic Experience, a hugely popular stop for tourists.
The best part of visiting (in addition to the top restaurants in town, of course) is the proximity to other cities. Ideal day trips to stunning countryside areas and on the coastline are great ideas to escape the city. But, if you are confining yourself to city limits, make sure to grab a pint of two at the brilliant Belfast boozers while ticking off other items on this to-do list.
