Hey champ, in your opinion, what do you consider the better tourist sights in Belfast? Or the most popular? Wife and I will be in that neck of the woods late April.
Belfast ? pfftt. Take a trip out into the beautiful countryside.
Andy gets nosebleed when he leaves the 30 mph limit.
Get across to the west coast and see if you can visit the Burren, Lisdoonvarna (bit too late for the "love" festival, but still pretty). South west corner there's Killarney, the Ring of Kerry, stunning, then towards Cork, Blarney castle (cant kiss the stone any more, health and safety cr4p), it's easy to get around, roads are usually quite quiet compared to GB, and drivers are (usually) really polite.
Wherever you go I'm sure you'll enjoy.
Some gob5hites on here! Lol.
Yes my friend, I shall draft a guide to best places of interest/things to do in Northern Ireland. I'll post on here later.
My suggestions will NOT include the Crown bar or Billys area (🙄.
I also wish to offer my personal escort services 🤣 to ensure you see everything of interest in greater Belfast. You will discover I have substantial knowledge regarding the city and sites. (Unlike Leeds supporters on here who can't even meet one for a pint or a coffee when across at a game).
Pleasure.
Im in the countryside of Co.Tyrone, close to Dungannon.
When your in Belfast, south down the coast as far as Warrenpoint is nice, as is north up the coast and into Donegal is good too. (Avoid Larne) And Donegal is still living in the 60's. Depends what your after. The Ulster countryside is pretty scenic too, lots of pubs and food, (make sure you have an Ulster Fry) and then theres Co.Fermanagh with all its lakes.
Im sure Andy will build you a comprehensive guide of Belfast (tho he might charge you for it ), but im sure he'll keep you right.
I'll try to pm you my mobile number if you need any help in the country, give me a shout.
We're pretty welcoming to visitors but I should warn you that the weather will certainly be different from what your used to.
Hope you have a good time and if you need any help don't be shy to ask.
MOT.
