<p>Less 2 hours from Dublin, this is the capital and largest city in Northern Ireland. Best known as a major port and the home of the Titanic, this city also suffered violent conflicts from the 1960s - 1990s and was at one point considered one of the world's most dangerous cities. However, it has now cleaned up its reputation, and though it maintains a slightly gritty feel, it is a lovey city to visit. Safe and welcoming, this city now hosts tourists from all over the world. It is a very walkable city, with lovely historical buildings, such as <strong>Belfast City Hall</strong>. In addition to history, one of the most vibrant areas to discover is the <strong>Cathedral Quarter</strong>. It is renown for its lively nightlife, entertainment and cocktail scene. More than that, it is also district that highlights Belfast's street art scene, and is quite beautiful to take in. </p>

<p>When in Belfast, I recommend staying at the <strong>Grand Central Hotel</strong>. This hotel is right across the street from Belfast City Hall, a short walk to the Cathedral Quarter and many lovely shopping streets. **Plus, it has the <strong>tallest bar in Ireland</strong>, the<strong> <a href="https://www.grandcentralhotelbelfast.com/observatory/">Observatory</a>, </strong>which gives amazing views to all of Belfast. And absolutely delicious cocktails. Not to be missed! I recommend reservations, especially on the weekends. </p>

<p>And of course, the <strong><a href="https://titanicbelfast.com">Titanic Belfast</a></strong>! As one of the world's leading tourist attractions, it is a must-see when in Belfast. The architecture is very impressive, and you get a completely immersive experience into the planning, building and details of the actual Titanic. It is built on the site of the Titanic shipyard and contains a number of interactive exhibits that are informative, as well as emotional. You also get a great feel for what it must have been like to work on such an epic project. Can't get enough of Titanic? They also have the <strong>Titanic Hotel Belfast</strong>, which is on the shipyard site, right beside the Titanic exhibit. </p>

<p>Belfast is worth a visit. Even if the rest of your journey just takes you to the south, do a drive up from Dublin for the day just to check it out. You won't be disappointed!</p>
