Belfast final

[Kevin roog]

first time for me to Belfast next week, any tips from regular goers, flights, match tickets, hotel all sorted, what do people do to get from the airport, hire car or taxis, cheers in advance

Depends if you're landing in Belfast City or International. If City then it's about a tenner in a taxi to city centre. If international it's about £35 by taxi or you can get the airport bus (45 mins) for about £8 (£11 return I think)

 

[Kevin roog]

it’s international airport we are going to

 

[Pondlife]

There's a info stand just past baggage reclaim where you can buy tickets for the bus. Think they're every 30 mins.

The bus is decent, takes you to the centre and not expensive. Belfast is a bit hit and miss in terms of attractions but the Titanic exhibition is worth a visit before the game

cheers, I think the bus might be the way to go, car hire is £60 plus £50 to park at my hotel

If you have time, the Crumlin Road Jail is well worth a visit

Most things are walkable in the centre as well so unless you want to go up to Giants Causeway or Portrush then there is no need for a car. A Black Taxi tour appeals to some or the botanic gardens are good if you want something more sedate.

For breakfast there is a fantastic place in the centre that does an Ulster Fry - I think it's called Maggie Mays....

There’s no flights from Cardiff to Belfast until at least June, and Bristol only fly to International airport unfortunately as it’s a longer journey.

Foe eating near the arena and/or adjacent Premier Inn you can't beat Rain Check - check if you need to book because it pretty small

This is spot on, this visit is a must it’s awesome and very central, Belfast is a great City, the Crown Inn is a must it’s pure Victorian and Robinsons next door is a great pub, with a great Restuarant upstairs, lush food it’s opposite the Europa Hotel which was the most bombed hotel in Europe during the bad times in Belfast. I go to Belfast a lot, and just got back, returning April, and May with work.Also have a beer in the Titanic Hotel right by the Arena it’s a stunning place they do Lush Burgers.

Good shout for Robinson's Wannabe - that's where I'll be spending my evenings.
Great craic when we were there last, live Irish music every night in Fibber Magee's out the back.
I'll also be catching the bus from the airport.

Did the Titanic exhibition years ago.
Wasn't sure whether I'd enjoy it but it was brilliant.
Would highly recommend going.
Also the open top bus tour is pretty good.

Is Rockies closed now ?

Unfortunately Rockies is closed....big redevelopment in the Pavilion, but that is still ongoing, so only W5 and the cinema open in there at present

Having done Black cab tour , Crumlin Jail and Titanic I would put them in that order….unfortunately a lot of the interactive parts of Titanic tour didn’t work when we went …..maybe teething problems as I think we went fairly soon after opened but was disappointing
