The capital of Northern Ireland, Belfast is a vibrant and exciting city full of great things to see and do throughout the year, and you can get there from the port in Larne in just over half an hour.
If you are thinking about visiting Belfast with friends, we have some great ideas for what you can do when you reach the city which we believe your whole group will enjoy.
Take a Wee Toast Tour
One of the best ways to travel around Belfast in on a Wee Toast Tour, as this pedal bar allows you and your friends to have a drink or two while you pedal your way around the city’s top sights and learn about its rich history. The pedal bars are ideal for 8 to 15 people, but the company will happily combine your group with others, or rent you two bars, if necessary.
Explore the Titanic Experience
The Titanic Experience, located on the site where the famous ship was built, is one of the most popular attractions in Belfast, and a great place to visit with friends. Here, you can learn all about the history of the Titanic, see the shipway where it was launched, and explore what it was like on board. There are also live links that show you the explorations that are still happening at the bottom of the sea.
Challenge yourselves in an Escape Room
Escape Rooms have become a very popular activity for groups of friends, and Escape Rooms Belfast offer three different options for you to choose from. You will have 60 minutes to solve puzzles and hold your nerve before your time runs out, and working as a team is the best way to be successful.
Eating and drinking in Belfast with friends
There are loads of opportunities to eat and drink in Belfast with friends, and you will find plenty of options that offer something a bit different. Enjoy afternoon tea in one of the city’s hotels or restaurants, find all types of food ranging from Mediterranean dishes to freshly cooked pizzas, and spend the night in a rooftop bar, enjoying live music, or playing games in a characterful pub.
Visit Queen’s Film Theatre
For a cultural experience in Belfast with friends, head to the Queen’s Film Theatre which is an independent cinema that shows both new and classic world films. The theatre also hosts film festivals and Q&A sessions with directors and cast members throughout the year, so you may like to arrange your trip around these if you and your friends are big film fans.
With so many great things to do in Belfast with friends, why not book your crossing from Cairnryan to Larne today and start planning a fun weekend away in Northern Ireland for you and your group?
If you book your trip before the end of February, you can take a friend for free before the 19th December 2019, giving you another reason to head to Belfast with friends this year.
