"Cityspots Belfast" takes you straight to the heart of Northern Ireland's revitalised capital, a compact city packed with history, architecture, shops, cool bars and restaurants. There's been an air of optimism in this eclectic capital city for years now, thanks to the likes of the Belfast Waterfront Hall and the Odyssey Complex. And the arrival of no-frills airlines has enabled weekenders to converge here for the vibrant nightlife alone.
Belfast's highlights include: Belfast Waterfront Hall; Belfast Castle on Cave Hill for history and great views of the city; Old Bushmills Distillery - the oldest whiskey distillery in the world; historic pubs such as White's Tavern (one of Belfast's oldest), Kelly's Cellars and the Crown Liquor Saloon - a beautiful gas-lit pub with ornate Victoriana on the outside and cosy snugs inside; Black Taxi Tours with native drivers showing you sectarian murals, the abiding symbols of the Troubles; Lagan Boat Company's trips (the Titanic story, dockyards); and a short drive away are the Mountains of Mourne, looming over Giant's Causeway. It is perfect for pleasure-seeking city breakers wanting to quickly pinpoint the city's most entertaining highlights and decide what to see and do in a limited time. It features clear maps to enable fast orientation and full-colour illustrated pages to pinpoint the very best in shopping, sightseeing, eating and drinking - plus great ideas for low-budget entertainment too.
It spans a wide range of destinations, including those served by budget airlines; and contains practical listings to suit varied budgets and tastes. Imaginative suggestions reveal each city's hidden gems. The compact format quickly locates the top must-see and do attractions.
