Belfast and the North of Ireland

Belfast maybe not the first place on a tourist itinerary but this would be a mistake. Life has returned to this city as big money has poured in. The tourist infrastructure is sorted: hotels are bursting out of the pavement, restaurants have Michelin ratings and its pompous 19th-century architecture isa worthy monumnet to th emen who built this city and a solid counterpoint to the flimsy steel and glass of the city's more modern developments. Packed with things to do as well as where to get the best food, drinks and clubs and if you get tired of this, take a ride along the stunning Antrim coast road.
