Belfast: Escape to the City

Love music, history and heritage, cool city lights or even silent nights?

No matter where you feel like your most sparkly self, you’ll love Belfast.

Voted 'Best Value UK City' by Trip Advisor, Belfast offers all the friendly charm of the country, with the boom town splendour of the city. It's also the birthplace of Titanic and a gem of a city. A city reborn.

It has a thriving music scene plus parks and glorious gardens beside seventh heaven shopping destinations. Grand halls, museums and theatres rubbing shoulders with the freshest local food markets. Seasoned liquor saloons round the corner from 5* cocktail bars. Old and new go hand in hand, not least in the Titanic Quarter.

Variety is the spice of life. It also makes for a mighty fine city break.
