I was a bit surprised when reading other reviews as I found Belfast to be full of things to go and see.

Firstly one of the best times I have had in years was at the Odyssey first we had a few drinks and something to eat in the Pavilion which had something for everyone pubs, nightclubs restaurants (Indian, American, Mexican etc), bowling alley, cinema and much more but the highlight was watching the Belfast Giants Ice Hockey team I've never been a fan of Ice Hockey but the atmosphere in the 10,000 capacity rink was almost overwhelming.

Secondly, Belfast offers a host of options for those who like to think of themselves as more cultured such as the Grand Opera house and the Ulster Hall which didn't look like much from outside but is very impressive inside. Although I found the atmosphere in the Waterfront more appealing and the range of shows and star names appearing regularly was quite a surprise to me.

In terms of pubs in clubs I found all of the bars in and around the city center bursting with atmosphere and craic, bars such as Robinson's, Shananagan's where my particular favorites and then at night I went to the M club in shaftsbury square and Dukes Hotel both very different although I wasn't very impressed with the M club the sports bar below it was great and Dukes was alot of fun. Although I have since learnt that in terms of clubs shine and the Network are the places to be if you want to party to the early hours.

There is so much more to Belfast than appears at first, although you can listen to others opinions this is a city that you really have to go to and experience for yourself.

What you have to say about Belfast is really interesting - how about finding somewhere to stay, getting around, getting there to start with. There are some other positive reviews of Belfast. Luci
