Northern Ireland's capital city Belfast is a vibrant destination, replete with stylish bars, restaurants, hotels and historical attractions. The once battle-scarred city, which was blighted for over 30 years by The Troubles - religious, political and sectarian feuding, which began in the late 1960s - is now enjoying a renaissance, thanks to the ongoing peace process.
The arrival of luxury hotels like the Merchant Hotel and Malmaison symbolize the city's growing confidence. Plans to create Europe's largest waterfront development will dramatically transform Belfast. The new Titanic Quarter, named after the ill-fated ship that was built and launched from Belfast in 1912, will feature new hotels, restaurants, cafés, bars, galleries and parks.
Meanwhile, historical buildings like the Grand Opera House are evidence of Belfast's rich culture.Combine all this with Belfast's greatest asset, the warmth, resilience and character of its people, and you can understand why it has become one of the UK's top city break destinations.
