Next Stop Belfast

WITH A FASCINATING HISTORY AND GREAT ATTRACTIONS, NORTHERN IRELAND’S CAPITAL HAS IT ALL...

Home of Game of Thrones and The Fall, Belfast is buzzing these days, and has exactly the right ingredients for a brilliant – and budget conscious – weekend. You’ll find superb new restaurants serving regional food, swish boutique hotels (or try the landmark Europa), amazing pubs (don’t miss the National Trust’s Crown Bar), excellent shopping, a renowned black-taxi tour of sites of the Troubles, plus the world-class Titanic Experience. And all within 10 minutes’ drive of rolling countryside (do see the recently restored Mount Stewart stately home and gardens) and stunning coastline. More than enough for a long weekend.

SS Nomadic

The SS Nomadic, the world’s last remaining White Star Line ship, sits in dock close to the Titanic Experience.

Bonmarché

Visit our Bonmarché store in the Castle Court shopping centre.

Merchant Hotel’s

The original Victorian surroundings at the Merchant Hotel’s Great Room Restaurant provide a stunning setting for a fine dining experience.

Mount Stewart

It’s only a short drive to Mount Stewart, and then on to the beautiful coast.

Belfast can be a chilly location around the autumn winter season so make sure your wrapped up for the occasion. A warm coat is obviously a suitcase essential when travelling at this time of year and our Scarf Detail coat is the perfect option to keep you warm whilst looking stylish. So many coats look great worn open but fail to maintain the sleek stylish look once buttoned up – but not this coat! The funnel neck design and detachable scarf detail makes it incredibly flattering worn both open and fully buttoned up. Plus, you don’t have to worry about finding a scarf that matches – we’ve done the hard work for you! Blue and navy tones are on-trend colours for this season, so style with our beautiful navy lace blouse for a look that will take you from day to night without an outfit change. Don’t forget your handbag – travelling can require bringing along a lot of added extras, so make sure your prepared with a generous yet practical size handbag.
