What to See
If you're passing through Belfast on a whistle-stop day trip, join the open top bus tour (seeTours) for a one-hour scoot round most of the major sights.
Belfast City Hall, Botanic Gardens, Queen's University and the Shankill and Falls Roads are all on their route, as is a brief diversion intoStormont Estate and Harland & Wolff shipyard, home of the big yellow cranes and birthplace of Titanic.
If you have time to spare, and don't see it on the tour, catch a N°4 Metro Bus for the 15-20 minute journey to the Stormont Estate where you can gaze at one of the city's most iconic buildings and take a leisurely stroll around its manicured grounds.
Another great outdoor location and stunning city backdrop has to be Cavehill. Head north on Metro Bus N°1, jumping off at Belfast Castle for unrivalled views across the city.
