12 replies

Boxingshibes · 20/05/2025 08:53

I have a work trip in a few weeks to Belfast. I've never been before. I'm staying in central Belfast. I'll be working 8-4 . So will have a free afternoon/evening on the first day then 2 evenings.
What should I do? Anywhere i really should see? Good places to eat?
I don't really want to spend all my time in the premier inn.
Any suggestions please?

There are so many fab restaurants for all different budgets and cuisines. My personal favourites are villa Italia (family fav), James st south, Deanes at queens.
lots of amazing bars with live music, some 7 nights a week and in the daytime. Go to the cathedral sister- harp bar, Duke of York. Other nights pubs are whites tavern and the crowne.
if the weather is nice take a walk along laganside or head to the botanical gardens.
if you have time you might want to go to the titanic centre.

If you're short on time the hop on/off bus is worth doing.
The Titanic experience is good but it would take up most of your afternoon so it depends if you want to focus on just that or see other places.
My flight was delayed so I missed visiting Crumlin Goal but friends who went really enjoyed it.
There's some local history exhibits inside the city hall which is free admission.
You can do Black Cab tours which might be an option in an evening.

Second Crumlin Gaol for a visit. The Crown Liquor Saloon opposite the Europa Hotel is also worthwhile for ambience, history and food. You may have to pre book both suggestions.

The Titanic museum is fascinating, I also found Crumlin Road jail very interesting.

Titanic museum is fantastic

Thanks all.
Yes I could google but I'd prefer real experience of the city.
Lots to look at.
The dcs were asking for something as a souvenir- what should I get?

Buy the multi packs of Tayto crisps in a supermarket if you can get to one. My adult children love them.

The bus tour is really interesting.
