Belfast in General Reviews

Until fairly recently the sectarian troubles prevented me from wishing to spend too much time in Belfast. At the present time this has largely changed and the city is quite safe now. The one thing that sets Belfast apart from many other European cities is the friendliness of the people. As far as sights go there is really ...  Read the complete review

I am from Derry, the second city in Northern Ireland but it not petty jealously which dictates the tone of this opinion. I can truly say that Belfast is a dump, the city that time forgot. It may be hip among European tourists because they want to see the "war-torn city" but leaving this apart Belfast is devoid ...  Read the complete review

What can you say about a city where the people are the friendliest you could hope to meet. When talking to anyone about Belfast the first response will be, I couldn't go there, what if something happened while you were there. no definately not. Well they are missing out badly because once you have been there you'll want to go ...  Read the complete review

Where is the "war torn" city you see on the TV? Certainly not in the Belfast I visited. Belfast is without doubt one of the most beautiful and most friendly cities I have ever been to (although Glasgow rates very highly as well!). far from being a city split between religions, Belfast is a hive of all things nice.

Dear all, I went to Belfast for the first time and even ireland for the first time to visit my girlfriend who lives over there. I found everyone so friendly. Just walking into someone in the street led to a full on conversation about there life. This kind of kindness and over all niceness is lovely to see in an everchanging world. ...  Read the complete review

Before you read this review, let me warn you - it's not one raving about how great the City is, and how you'll never want to leave. I imagine there are plenty of reviews on Dooyoo and elsewhere that will tell you all that. This is the impression I got from a visit to Belfast which left me feeling that there is much more to ...  Read the complete review

spot on rufus - i shall trust you! one of the friendliest places in the UK. When people talk to you in the queue at the kebab shop they aren't wierdos who are about to mug you for a lamb doner, you'd be the wierdo for not talking back to them. Cheap(ish) housing, good standard of living, coast not far away, more leisure ...  Read the complete review

Born in Belfast means you will endlessly get asked 'what's it like?', of which there are two answers. 'It's good enough, like!' is the first reply, when your fed up saying the second. The second explains the first, as Belfast is full of understated, friendly people willing take you in but not play up to you. ...  Read the complete review
