Belfast is one of the most visited cities in Great Britain, with its expanses of historical sites and structures, trendy night life, hip and colorful shopping centers, and family-oriented attractions.

For those visiting, there are several hotels in Belfast that are worth the hefty price tag given to it, such as the Culloden Hotel, previously a bishop's palace. It is considered to be Belfast's most gorgeous hotel. Its only downside is its distance from the city center (around 6 miles) but it more than makes up for it with the its beautiful sprawling grounds which overlook Belfast Lough, as well as the elegant period décor with adroitly crafted furnishings. Hotels that have great value for your back include Victoriana, a quaint little townhouse just off Lisburn road. Its ambience, while harboring very modern facilities, is still ensconsced with a classic, antique feel, having undergone little changes since it was first owned by Thomas Edwards, the man responsible for designing the Titanic. One of its best selling features is their choice of nine different kinds of breakfasts, the most in-demand of which is the mushrooms in sherry and cream concoction.

Eating in Belfast is again, very inclusive of people with all kinds of price ranges, providing good value for money. Those who can afford to splurge may opt for Cayenne, previously known as Roscoff, which is hailed as the most exciting place for dining. They offer plenty of innovative and savory recipes such as risotto with Thai green curry, while doing excellently in classics such as duck confit. Those who like to eat a lot for less will find their haven in Ulster Fry, where tourists will get a taste of Belfast's version of an all-day breakfast. They serve a unique yet beloved diush called soda bread, which originated from Northern Ireland. Couple that with thick slices of ham, strips of bacon, potatoes and grilled sausages and you have yourself not so much a breakfast but a feast.

As for things to do, the possibilities are endless. History buffs will have a blast plowing through the rows of historical structures and museums Belfast offers, including Ulster Museum and Old Town. Families on vacation will be thrilled with the wonderful and child-oriented attractions in Belfast, such as the Odyssey Complex, home of the W5 Interactve discovery center and IMAX Cinema, the Belfast Zoo, and even an interactive experience at the Streamvale Open Farm. Teenagers and young adults will be raring to be part of Belfast's active nightlife, with its colorful bars and discos, and pubs. Noteworthy places in this list include Belfast's historic hostelries, Irish pubs, and performances in the Grand Opera house.

There is nothing quite like Belfast for finding a complete vacation package, so for those planning their latest getaway, make sure Belfast is on that list.
