As the capital of Northern Ireland, Belfast has a lot to say for itself. 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.
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. Either walk or cruise by in your Belfast car hire.
Crown Liquor Saloon: This refurbished bar will take you back to 1885 when it was a famous Victorian gin palace and one of Northern Ireland's best-known drinking holes.
