Local knowledge for Belfast

Where to stay

Cathedral Quarter, centered on Hill Street and the Black Box venue area, is where most hostels cluster and where you'll find the nightlife until late. South Belfast around Botanic Avenue and Lisburn Road has quieter options a short walk from Queen's University and the Botanic Gardens.

Getting around

  • St. George's Market on Friday mornings has a food court where you can eat well for a few pounds. Get there before noon for the best selection.
  • Black taxi tours of the Falls Road and Shankill Road murals run a modest amount per person if you split a cab with hostel guests. More candid than the guided bus version.
  • Titanic Belfast charges a notable entry fee. The SS Nomadic, the Thompson Dry Dock, and the slipways outside are free and take a solid hour to explore without spending a penny.

When to go

Hostels fill quickly and prices climb from late June through August, with a short spike around the July 12th marching season. November through February is the cheapest window, apart from St. Patrick's weekend in March when city-center beds sell out days in advance.
