Belfast in General

Hi, I have lived in Belfast all my life and only my very early years were ones of fear. If I described Belfast to you 30 years ago I think you would look at me and run, there were bombs and gun shootings. . .it was to dangerous to go out on to the bloody street! Now it's peaceful. . .no bombs or guns and it's safe to go out onto the street. Belfast is now a normal city, not big like London but certainly not small. The picture up above is of the city hall which is directly in the centre of the city, on a warm day every one (mainly students) love to go there and just chill out on the lovely grounds of the building. right now we have a Belfast ...  Read the complete review

Belfast City... Did you ever here the saying "don't judge a book by it's cover"? This is certainly on of these times you use that saying. Belfast has never been short of media space and newspaper headlines from Belfast to Sydney everyone had an opinion and a lot still do, but I have to wonder how many of these people have visited this City.

I have lived in Belfast for almost 37yrs....no I'm not old, that's my age! Belfast is mainly remembered for the violence and bombs that constantly took place on a regular basis. Oh how things have changed for the better. There are still a few places that have bits of trouble but even then, nothing like how it used to be not sooooo long ago. Belfast tourist numbers have greatly increased, although you see plenty of them taking photographs of the murals that are painted on walls!!! We have a lot to offer people, we are kind, caring people, with lots of places for sight-seeing or just to relax and chill-out. We have a ...  Read the complete review

I really like Belfast, I chose to live in the city centre and feel like I'm in a great location. Belfast has really changed, so much for the better. I've lived here for 15 years on and off and the changes are so evident. When I first moved to the city, the troubles were still evident and yet, as everyone did, we got on with normal life despite the tragedies. Since then, we have peace and peace led to prosperity and a real feel good factor for the city. Nowhere can just leave all the past behind easily and there are still problems, some segregation, 'peace' walls, and breakaway splinter groups but the changes are huge. The city is buzzing, there ...  Read the complete review
