Visiting Belfast
Belfast is now a popular short-break destination and has established itself as one of Europe's top visitor destinations.
National Geographic's prestigious 'Traveller' magazine included the city in its top 20 'Best of the World' list in November 2011. It described the city as a 'treasure' with an 'incredible atmosphere'.
As a city Belfast is compact and intimate. Much of its rich legacy of Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian architecture remains intact and many fine buildings have been revitalised with cutting edge contemporary design.
There is no shortage of things to do in Belfast, with something to suit all ages.
