Belfast's maritime past is visible in the Titanic Quarter, but the city deserves a broader reading. Walk the centre and Cathedral Quarter, visit the Ulster Museum, and approach the Troubles through carefully contextualised museums or guided local interpretation rather than spectacle. The city is lively, compact and useful as a base for the Antrim coast. Give Belfast a full day or two before heading north.

See
Must experience
The things that would make the trip incomplete without them.
Ulster Museum
Art, natural history and regional history
Use it to broaden the story beyond the docklands.
City Hall
Civic landmark in the centre
A useful starting point before walking the surrounding quarters.
Beyond the obvious
Hidden gems
Less obvious, rarely queued for, and usually the part people remember.
Botanic Gardens
Public gardens beside the university
A relaxed pause between museum and city walks.
St George's Market
Covered market with food and crafts
Check market days, then go for the social atmosphere rather than souvenirs.
