I’m really hoping to spend some time in Belfast while I’m in
Northern Ireland. For me, I think staying in some sort of hostel or other
equivalent will be the best option. I’m hoping that by saving money on
accommodations, I’ll have more to spend on activities. Some options that sound
good include the Belfast International Youth Hostel and Global Village – both are
around $20 per night. Belfast has a city metro, and for around $7 you can use
it as much as you want for one day. Some attractions in Belfast that I’d really
to go see are Titanic Belfast, the Crown Liquor Saloon, and the Ulster Museum.
Tentative Itinerary:
Friday night – eat at Rhubarb, visit Bittle’s Bar
Saturday – Titanic Belfast and the Botanic Gardens, dinner
at the Crown Liquor Saloon
Sunday – breakfast at Breakfast of Champions, Ulster Museum,
Taxis and Troubles
It’s really
important to me that I leave a lot of wiggle room during my travels, and not
over-schedule myself – I really want to be able to take time to enjoy myself,
and have some spontaneity as well! That’s something that I’ve always run into
while traveling with my family – we’re all big planners, and sometimes out
trips feel rushed. What does it matter that you got to see a famous monument,
if all you did was glance at it, take a picture, and walk away? I can’t wait to
experience Belfast, and really take the time to get to know the city.
