    1. Local restaurants

    Belfast has become a real "foodie" haven these days, with casual to high-end dining and everything in between. One of the best places to visit is the Mourne Seafood bar. A seafood lover’s paradise that also serves some serious steaks and surprisingly good vegetarian options.

    2. Good to know

    The standard protocol for tipping is to offer 10% of the total bill if satisfied with the service. If particularly pleased, 15% or more will make your server’s night!

    3. Must-sees

    Hmm… afternoon tea in the Merchant Hotel for one! It’s traditional, delicious and in an elegant setting. There’s Titanic Belfast, the largest Titanic exhibition in the world, and Black Cab tours of the city, which take in political murals and more, with knowledgeable, fun taxi drivers.

    4. Green spaces

    The largest is the Botanical Gardens – the Ulster Museum is also in the grounds – and is well worth a visit. The lawns at City Hall are a popular spot to catch some rays.

    5. City tours

    Belfast City Bike Tours offers fun tours of the city where local guides show you sights only reachable by bike. They take place on Thursday to Sunday, visit 30 points of interest and the guides know the area inside out.

    6. Hidden treasures

    You can get away from it all up in the Belfast mountains around Cave Hill, which was the inspiration for Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels. The high-energy Gaelic games at Casement Park stadium are also phenomenal, or you could take a stroll along the Lagan Towpath with a coffee from the Lock Keepers’ Inn.

    9. Best day trips

    A trip up the North Coast to see the Giant’s Causeway, Dunluce Castle and the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge – not to mention the world-class golfing there. Or perhaps the Mourne Mountains in County Down, Tollymore Forest Park and some quintessential seaside towns.
