Went a few years ago and did a black can tour of the all the interesting areas and the murals and went into the old prison too. Such a fascinating area.

Great City too, some great places to eat and drink.

The Titanic museum is incredible as well.

Re: Belfast

Notice it’s not that big a city either, smaller than Cardiff. Does it have more than one football team?

Quite a few. The main ones are Linfield which is protestant supported and Glentoran which is catholic. There are a lot of others including Cliftonville and Crusaders.

That’s quite a lot for a small city, I trust each don’t have huge regular support either then? Or do celtic and rangers align themselves to them too?

Belfast is virtually the same population as Cardiff but because there are so many teams, even Linfield only get 2000 or so. Also, the ferry is full every week with Celtic and Rangers fans who go over to watch them rather than support locally. Linfield v Glentoran is known as Bel Classico.
I've watched Larne (my wife's home toen) quite a bit who are now near the top of the table after a massive sponsorship from the owner of Purple Bricks who's from Larne.
