Belfast is best known as the city where Titanic was built. That heritage is something that the city is trying to use to attract visitors. "Titanic Belfast" is a huge museum dedicated to the history and construction of the ship. Plan almost a full day for various Titanic-related activities in Belfast. There are surprisingly few landmarks left from "The Troubles", so don't expect to do any "Dark Tourism" in Belfast.
