Restaurants & cafés
The Muddlers Club
Belfast's Michelin-starred room, tucked down a cobbled alley in the Cathedral Quarter, serving an inventive modern tasting menu built on Irish produce. Open kitchen, low lighting and a buzz that keeps it feeling like a restaurant rather than a shrine; this is the city's big-occasion booking.
OX
A bright, pared-back room by the river where two chefs run a weekly-changing seasonal menu that earned a Michelin star. The cooking is precise and produce-led, and the wine bar next door, OX Cave, does the same standard in a looser setting.
Trails & outdoors
Cave Hill Country Park
The headline Belfast climb, a roughly 5 km loop up the basalt escarpment to McArt's Fort with the broadest view in the city. Steep and unsurfaced in parts but doable in a couple of hours, ending at the cliff-edge fort known as Napoleon's Nose.
Divis and the Black Mountain Ridge Trail
A National Trust circular over open heath and blanket bog to the highest point in the Belfast Hills, with 180-degree views from the Mournes to Scotland. Boardwalked in places but genuinely upland, this is the area's big-view hill walk.
Things to do
Ulster Museum
Northern Ireland's largest museum, free to enter, inside the Botanic Gardens and spanning natural history, Irish archaeology, an Egyptian mummy and a strong art collection. A genuine rainy-day saver that suits both a quick hour and a half day.
Crumlin Road Gaol
A Victorian prison that held inmates from 1845 until 1996, now a guided-tour attraction taking you through the cells, the tunnel to the courthouse and the execution chamber. Atmospheric, well-narrated history that also runs evening events and a distillery on site.
Landmarks & sights
Titanic Belfast
The six-floor museum sitting on the actual slipways where the ship was built, walking you from the city's linen-and-shipyard boom through the launch and the disaster. The shipyard ride and the recreated cabins make it more immersive than a typical maritime hall, and it anchors the whole regenerated Titanic Quarter.
Belfast City Hall
The domed Edwardian baroque centrepiece of Donegall Square, with marble corridors, stained glass and a free guided tour most days. The grounds double as the city's living room, ringed by memorials including the Titanic Memorial Garden.
