Introduction to Belfast
Belfast is a upcoming coastal city and Northern Ireland’s capital and has become a very popular travel destination in recent years, having survived the troubled period which began in the late 60s and lasted for over thirty years. These days, Belfast is a trendy place to enjoy a city break and also an upcoming business destination due its favorable business climate. Hotels in Belfast are excellent and although the city has a reputation for being a party town, there’s also much of cultural interesting place to see as well, notably its maritime heritage. Famous for being the city which built the Titanic ( the famous Cruise ship from the movie Titanic ), there are frequent reminders of the ill-fated ocean liner in Belfast, and in 2012 (the centenary of Titanic’s demise) a huge festival was planned to commemorate the building of the doomed ship.
