I'll be flying in to the International Airport for two days. I want to go to the Titanic Museum and take a tour to the Giant's Causeway. Can anyone suggest the best area to stay to get to both and to the airport and any suggestions for a naice hotel please? And any other must-see things to do while there?

@treaclesoda only Belfast would see the disaster that was the launch of London's bendy buses and think "ooh, we need ourselves some of those!"

There is a bus service which runs from Belfast International to the Europa bus station just across from the Europa Hotel. Although I’ve never been inside The Merchant Hotel keep meaning to it looks lovely. It was an old bank which was converted into a hotel.
Check out groupon as they are doing an offer on The Titanic museum atm.
The hop on hop off bus (also checkout group on) is a relaxing way to take in the city, stopping at Queens University, Botanic Gardens, Belfast Castle as well as the Titanic Quarter to name but a few.
The Causeay coast bus tour is a whistle stop tour of all the things the other poster mentioned but the Giants Causeway is a must even if for a short time.
I would also recommend the Bushmills Distillery.
As others have said if you’re into nightlife St Anne’s Square area has loads of bars and restaurants.
2 days is quite short so you’ll just have to come back again!!!

Obv you can miss the magical summoning tour and just walk in faint horrified bewilderment down the side of the Sydenham bypass to the train station footbridge?

WHHHHHYYYYY did they not link the train station?! It’s so embarrassing! Amateurs!

Air B and B. Stayed in a beautiful flat just off botanic Avenue ten mins walk from City Centre. 70 a night. The hotels are way too expensive and not as nice. You can treat air B and B as your home for a few days. Get a few beers in the fridge, for getting ready to go out, etc

The Malmaison does good deals and is walking distance to most of the city

The Merchant is nice but more expensive
