Cheap flights to Belfast: compare ticket prices to Belfast on liligo.com

As the capital of Northern Ireland, Belfast has a lot to say for itself. While many parts of the city were considered no-go areas until the last decade, this city is open for tourism now and is calling your name! Old run-down shipyards have been turned into a bustling waterfront soaked in history. Victorian architecture has been renewed and restored, giving Belfast the glitz and glamour it had a hundred years ago.

Essentials in Belfast

Belfast is definitely a divided city when it comes to sights and how locals get along with each other. Most visitors spending their holidays in Belfast will stay in the central area, the neutral part of town, the heart of the city. While it used to be lumped together with the other rough capitals in Europe, Belfast is brushing off its bad reputation and showing its just as good a party town as any. Of course, the cheap students flights to Belfast don't hurt!

Belfast Castle: This iconic city attraction, which is free to enter, is more of a stately mansion than a castle, built in 1870. From the hill, there are great views of the city.

Titanic Town: Belfast's historic shipyards are famous for one vessel, the unsinkable HMS Titanic, or at least that's what they thought when they were building it. The area along the River Lagan has been totally renewed, thanks to 1 billion Euro, and is known as the Titanic Quarter.

Political murals:For a glance at the political uprisings that made Belfast famous (for the worst reasons), head to Falls Road and Shankhill Road in West Belfast, mainly along the Golden Mile.

Cave Hill: Put Belfast in context by seeing it from above. Climb up Cave Hill, from the summit you'll really be able to see the urban sprawl and even as far as Belfast Lough. On a clear day you'll see Scotland on the horizon. The locals call this place "Napoleon's Nose" for the rock's resemblance to the famous leader's most prominent feature.

Crown Liquor Saloon: This refurbished bar will take you back through time to 1885 when it was a famous Victorian gin palace and one of Northern Ireland's best-known drinking holes. Grab a pint and sit back in a vintage snug at the National Trust's only bar.
