Ireland and Northern Ireland Long Easter Weekend Break
A long Easter weekend break across Dublin and Belfast, with sightseeing walks, historic pubs, and a surprisingly brilliant Titanic Belfast visit.
Belfast by sightseeing bus (Peace Walls, Shankill and Falls Road)
A Belfast sightseeing bus tour took us past the Peace Walls and through Shankill and Falls Road, where the murals and atmosphere made the city’s history feel very real.
White’s Tavern, Belfast (Oldest Tavern)
A midday pint in White’s Tavern, Belfast’s oldest tavern, tucked down historic Winecellar Entry. Warm, dim, and full of character.
Titanic Quarter (Titanic Hotel + Titanic Belfast), Northern Ireland
A reflective visit to Belfast’s Titanic Quarter, combining Titanic Belfast with an overnight stay in the historic Titanic Hotel.
The Glass of Thrones Trail on the Maritime Mile
We only meant to walk the Maritime Mile, but a House Stark stained-glass panel pulled us into Belfast’s Glass of Thrones trail, ending by HMS Caroline.
A Walk Through Historic Belfast City Centre
A gloomy but fascinating walk through Belfast city centre, from free entry at City Hall to Belfast’s oldest street, the Europa Hotel, and the Cathedral Quarter.
