Things to do in Belfast and Isle of Mull

[DuffyMoon]

Going on short break with 3 others aged between 40-50. We are going to the titanic museum but any where else recommended? Nice traditional pub perhaps. And anything to see/do in Mull ?? TIA :)

Mull - go to Tobermory for the day. Or go over to Iona for the day.

Fri-Sun mornings - St George's Market, City Centre is good.

Pubs : Kitchen Bar, McHughs, Northern Whig, The Crown, The Garrick, Cloth Ear - Merchant Hotel, 10 Square - all pubs in Belfast City Centre that I have rolled out of frequented.

I second The Garrick, its a proper pub.

If you want the touristy experience, its worth visiting The Crown pub, opposite the Grand Opera House.

If its a nice day and you fancy a walk, take a wander (or a bus) up to Queens University/Botanic Gardens, and the Ulster Museum is there too. Entry is free and there are some really good exhibits. From city centre to university is maybe about 20 mins walk? (Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, its ages since I lived in Belfast).

City Centre Open Top tours in Belfast - I think you can hop off at Titanic museum. It's a bit of walk from city centre to the shipyard - much further than it looks. Linenhall Library is nice too.

You can go to the distillery in Tobermory (Ledaig) and also to the Marine Visitor Centre.

I second a trip to Iona, perhaps a trip out to Staffa, see Fingall's Cave and the puffins (if it's the right time to see them). Calgary Bay is very lovely. If you're into cheese, a visit to where they make Isle of Mull cheddar, not far from Tobermory (Skiobruaridh or sth). The latter 2 would probably need a car though.

So many belfast based. Titanic, ulster museum (lots of events) tomorrow Queen's boat race road closure when I need out to work but hey ho for young at heart gamers for other things

Or you can just pm me to join a life drawing session blatent advertising

Pubs - Crown, John Hewitt, Errigle, Hatfield. For restaurants - Sakura (sushi) Cutters, Villa Italia, Bourbon

Lol kinda feel like just phone me and I will give you run down on Belfast!

Oh and world police and fire games events are all free!

can't get you into G8 events tho :(

When in Belfast I would do a black taxi tour. Much more interesting than the bus tour.
