Titanic's birthplace, reborn
Belfast was once one of the world's great industrial cities, and the Titanic was built in its shipyards. Titanic Belfast, a striking museum shaped like ship hulls, tells that story on the site where the liner was launched. The city's painted murals, many on the Falls and Shankill roads, record its more recent history and are best seen on a black-taxi tour. The Cathedral Quarter has lively pubs and traditional music, and the Crown Liquor Saloon is a Victorian gem. The Causeway Coast is an easy day away.
