Advice on trip to Belfast

Hey

Thinking of heading to Belfast next Friday for the night, we were thinking of visiting the Titanic Museum, Would it be worth a visit?
Also, any recommendations on hotels would be great. Never been to Belfast so any tips/advice would be great.

Thanks in advance

Do the city bus tour or Black Taxi tour- its very good & you get to see all the nooks & crannies of Belfast with a guided tour. Enjoy
The bus tour goes out by the Titanic and you can hop on & off at different parts of the tour.

Don't wear a gaelic/celtic/rangers shirt.

get sterling.

things to do/see?

Haven't done the Titanic, but I've heard good stuff.

W5 is a good interactive science centre just next door. excellent if you have kids.

there is a nice cafe called the Dock between the two. strange concept, no prices. pay what you can (or not) REALLY nice atmosphere......

the bus tours are good on a nice day.

Ulster Museaum/ Botanic park are nice....

If you are driving, then the folk museum in Cultra is good.

if you are active, then climb cave hill & get great views over the city.

and eat in Nick's warehouse!

Titanic Museum is fantastic and well worth a visit....

Definite +1 for the Folk and Transport museum (great on a good day as there's a lot of outdoors in the folk park) and the Ulster museum.

+1 for all of those things. Titanic museum is good but expensive, though. For hotels, any cheap brand hotel is pretty good.
