Having been long linked to conflict and the ill-fated Titanic, it can be hard imagining the fun things one could do in Belfast.<\/p>\n<p>Lately, though, it&#8217;s been picking up in popularity all thanks to having\u00a0years of peace in recent times and its appearance as a filming location in the popular Game of Thrones movie. The world is now seeing that the previously troubled city has transformed angsty to artistic and problem to party.<\/p>\n<p>If you have Belfast pinned on your next trip to Ireland, we have compiled some of the best things to do in Belfast.

Locations such as the creepy cave where Melisandre gave birth to a demon or the imposing walls of Winterfell can be found at Belfast.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a good idea to join a locally-operated television tour here because some of the locations would otherwise look like a regular field. Plus, they give you great advice on access and details on the featured scenes. But some sights, like the incredible beech tree tunnel which forms the Dark Hedges, are stunning in their own right. At locations in Castle Ward, you can even meet the actual dogs used as dire wolves!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15957\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15957\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15957\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.my\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/belfast-northern-ireland-dark-hedges.jpg\" alt=\"belfast-northern-ireland-dark-hedges\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15957\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">CC0 \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.needpix.com\/photo\/download\/741858\/game-of-thrones-ireland-trees-hedges-nature-travel-journey-pathway-landmark\">LeeOsbourne<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The locations also line up nicely as a lead-up to The Giant\u2019s Causeway, so you might as well fill up your one day&#8217;s worth of travel time with some Westeros magic.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Relive the stories at Titanic Belfast<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The impact couldn\u2019t have been any bigger. It was a headline event that started as an achievement that soon became a tragedy. At the site where The Titanic was once built, now stands Titanic Belfast.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15963\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15963\" style=\"width: 2048px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15963\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.my\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/belfast-northern-ireland-titanic-belfast.jpg\" alt=\"belfast-northern-ireland-titanic-belfast\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15963\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">CC by 2.0 \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/nicokaiser\/10057950713\">Nico Kaiser<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The museum was built in 2012 on the centenary of the sunken vessel and showcases Belfast\u2019s ship-building history along with an incredible record of Titanic\u2019s journey, demise, and records.

The Friday market at East Bridge Street has been serving customers since 1604 and is named as the UK&#8217;s biggest indoor market.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15962\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15962\" style=\"width: 2048px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15962\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.my\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/belfast-northern-ireland-st-georges-market-olives.jpg\" alt=\"belfast-northern-ireland-st-georges-market-olives\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1360\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15962\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">CC by 2.0 \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/lovinkat\/44061983495\">lovinkat<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Come on Friday for fresh produce, gifts, and antiques, while Saturday is all about delicious regional food and wares.

If you\u2019re looking for the best view in Belfast, get those hiking shoes on and head to the heart of Belfast Hills. At 478 and 388 metres tall respectively, Divis and Black Mountain are made of limestone and basalt and gives you panoramic views of the city.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15953\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15953\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15953\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.my\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/belfast-northern-ireland-black-mountains.jpg\" alt=\"belfast-northern-ireland-black-mountains\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15953\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">CC by 2.0 \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geograph.ie\/photo\/5671207\">Rossographer<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It takes only minutes to reach the foot from the city and then pick one of the four available trails to the top. Along the way, you\u2019ll enjoy seeing varied wildlife and flora, from terrains as easy as boardwalks to more natural paths of stone.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Explore Cave Hills while you are there<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you have some time to spare at the mountains, hunt down the five caves tucked in the basalt cliffs located at the northern suburbs. This is actually an archaeological treasure site, where landmarks like McArt\u2019s Fort have been fortified since the Neolithic period.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15954\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15954\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15954\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.my\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/belfast-northern-ireland-cave-hill.jpg\" alt=\"belfast-northern-ireland-cave-hill\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15954\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">CC by 2.0 \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Cavehill,_Belfast.jpg\">Tsumo9<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Even if you\u2019re not big on history, you\u2019ll be well-rewarded by the incredible vantage in this area as well. You\u2019ll see the Belfast Lough and Carrickfergus (made famous in the song) and even the Scottish Coast. See if you can find Napoleon&#8217;s Nose &#8211; a feature that might have inspired Gulliver\u2019s Travels as it looks like the nose of a sleeping giant!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Have Irish beef stew at the oldest pub in Belfast<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>To end your day, treat yourself to a hearty meal. You can\u2019t eat more Irish than at a pub! So why not go all the way and have dinner at one of Belfast\u2019s oldest? It\u2019s conveniently located too &#8211; right in the heart of the city at Bank Street.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15960\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15960\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15960\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.my\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/belfast-northern-ireland-irish-beef-stew.jpg\" alt=\"belfast-northern-ireland-irish-beef-stew\" width=\"1280\" height=\"848\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15960\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">CC by 2.0 \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Irish_Stew_(10320713316).jpg\">jeffreyw<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Kelly\u2019s Cellar was built in 1720 and very little has changed in the 200 years it\u2019s been in business. If walls could talk, this pub will have seen and heard it all, but we gather most of it will be about how delicious the homemade Irish beef stew is. Go back in time and have an authentic experience with a pint of Guinness and say we sent you there. If not, there\u2019s always the local favourite Boojum where the burritos have become a cult fave.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Get up close and personal with The Peace Walls<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Ladies and gentlemen, the walls are coming down. Well, in the next decade or so actually. Before they come down, visit the symbol borne of the divide but is now a peace monument as the nation comes together. Start your day looking at how far the city has moved on from its past.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15961\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15961\" style=\"width: 2048px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15961\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.my\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/belfast-northern-ireland-peace-walls.jpg\" alt=\"belfast-northern-ireland-peace-walls\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15961\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">CC by 2.0 \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/nicokaiser\/10057840734\">Nico Kaiser<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Also known as the Peace Lines, the 60 panels add up to a total of 34 kilometres. Hop onto a Black Cab tour to gain insight without infringing upon sensitivities or even hire a local guide that has gone through the era of The Troubles. It\u2019s one of those things to do in Belfast that is as visually arresting as it is dramatic.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Drink your way through a Belfast Distillery tour<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If there\u2019s one drink that encapsulates the spirit of the Irish other than the Stout, it\u2019s their whisky. One of the compulsory things to do in Belfast has to be to join a distillery tour. Even if you\u2019re not someone who likes the grain liquor, a sampling after a guided event might change your mind.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15958\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15958\" style=\"width: 3072px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15958\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.my\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/belfast-northern-ireland-distillery-tour-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"belfast-northern-ireland-distillery-tour\" width=\"3072\" height=\"2304\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15958\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">CC by 2.0 \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/31883499@N05\/3015874327\">Yves Cosentino<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>There are even farm-to-bottle options for you to fully appreciate the artful process of making this alcohol. At the experienced hands of the local guides, we can guarantee you&#8217;ll be converted after going for one. It may come across robust and hard-hitting but, like Belfast, hides plenty of gritty character that unfolds itself after time.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Locked in awe at Crumlin Road Gaol<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>When it comes to characters, this Victorian jail has it in spades. Once a housing for murderers and terrorists, the building was closed in 1996 but was reopened in 2012 and has now become one of the top attractions in Belfast, Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15955\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15955\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15955\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.my\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/belfast-northern-ireland-crumlin-road-gaol.jpg\" alt=\"belfast-northern-ireland-crumlin-road-gaol\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15955\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">CC by 4.0 \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Cool_Hand_Luke_Crumlin_Road_Gaol.jpg\">Michele Devlin<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Today, it\u2019s used as an event hall, but other times you can visit the cells where live executions used to happen, walk a tunnel that connects to the courthouse, or sit in the Governor\u2019s chair. It\u2019s a vivid historical museum experience so if you wish to, you can lighten the mood at the resident cafe.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Stroll or picnic around Belfast Castle<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The original stronghold was burned down in the 18th century and the new Belfast Castle is now located at the boundary of the Cave Hill Country Park. The namesake castle is incredibly stately and showcases a blend of Renaissance and Gothic styles for those seeking some architectural highlights.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15952\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15952\" style=\"width: 1500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15952\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.my\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/belfast-northern-ireland-belfast-tour.jpg\" alt=\"belfast-northern-ireland-belfast-tour\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1006\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15952\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">CC by 2.0 \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/andrewhurley\/4001172434\">Andrew Hurley<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The scenic surroundings have made this a popular event and wedding venue, but you can just as easily picnic here on a green lawn from a vantage that\u2019s over 120 metres above sea level.

On top of that, a lovely alfresco cafe here lets you have coffee and cake while taking in the vistas.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Where to stay in Belfast<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10266\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.my\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/hotels-7.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1512\" height=\"77\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15965\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.my\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/europa-hotel-belfast.jpg\" alt=\"europa-hotel-belfast\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.my\/Belfast-Hotels-Europa-Hotel.h79018.Hotel-Information\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Europa Hotel <\/a>is not one for the faint-hearted.
