Renshaw's, Belfast

Advantages: Pleasant atmosphere and nice friendly people
Disadvantages: Shaky peace agreement

...Belfast in Northern Ireland gets all the bad press in the news and it is virtually only ever heard of when bombs go off there. You never hear about Belfast when large concerts are there or when there are parades. Belfast despite its reputation is a lively city, with recent developments it is also a very pleasant British city. There is a lively night life with such nightclubs as Storm or the M Club. Belfast also has its more educational side with museums and art galleries as well as its own share of historical buildings. The shopping in Belfast is not to be snubbed either with many shops and good parking in the city centre leaving dubliners to migrate there for Christmas shopping some of the time. Belfast if u havent been is well worth the trip.... Read review

...Well there is an old saying, "You can take the girl outta Belfast BUT you can't take the Belfast outta da girl" That saying is very true and I'm sure if you ask anyone else in my position (living in England or else where) they would feel the same.

..."You Are approaching the end of the moving walkway, please get ready to push your trolley over the ramp" If you have ever been to Belfast international Airport chances are that you still hear these words echoing in your ear, if you havent, Learn em, it will make it more interesting when you go! And lets face it You wont find too many frills at this Airport. Belfast international airport or Aldergrove as its also know is situated about 12 miles from belfast, but there is a bus service to and fro and taxi prices are not that expensive. Tho it is far enough away from belfast for me to suggest a renaming! There was a time when Belfast city airport was by far the worst airport to service the city, and Aldergrove reigned supreme..A long time ago! Today Belfast city airport is thriving (after a relocation and make over) and international... Read review
