Taking my Mum to see Bryan Adams on Sunday, Coming over from Manchester. My Mum has mobility problems and uses a scooter most of the time, She will be using a walking stick whilst we are in Belfast. Trying to do this with as little walking for her as possible.

Concert is at the SSE Arena, our hotel is the premier inn titanic quarter so that side of things is fine.

I just have a few questions please..

Does the bus at Belfast international go to Belfast City centre? How much is it?

Also, Approx how much would a taxi be from Belfast City centre to the SSE?

Thank You.

There's a bus from Belfast International to the Europa bus station. It's £11.50 return according to the website www.belfastairport.com/to-from unless it's changed since i was last there you need cash to buy tickets from the driver but they also sell them at the tourist info desk just before you come out of the terminal so you might be able to pay by card there.

Not sure about taxis, i've always just walked everywhere but it's a good way from the Europa to the SSE if you've got mobility problems.

Good advice above. The timings of the buses aren’t overly regular so check timings if it’s a particularly early or late flight.

I’d say your taxi shouldn’t be more than £10 from the Europa to SSE. There’s two local companies, fonacab and valuecab - both have apps. Uber doesn’t really work here and black cabs can be expensive. It can be hard to get a taxi late at night so pre book where you can.

if you’d like recommendations for food, local pubs, where to spend time etc just ask!

Also, there’s a huge orange parade on Saturday - when do you get in? I’d factor that in traffic wise depending on where/when you will arriving.

Also make sure you're on the right bus going back to the airport, last time i went over the people sitting in front of us should have been going City airport 😂
