Belfast

I (probably) have to go to Belfast for a day with work, so I'm going to take my floating bank holiday and spend some time there beforehand. I've never been before - what should I try to see and do while I'm there? I might go to the Giant's Causeway if I can work out how to get there by public transport. People in my team recommended the troubles taxi tour, but I'm not entirely sure about that... Oh, also somewhere cheap and quiet to stay.

Unfortunately my Belfast knowledge stops at 7 years ago, a lot has changed since then. They have the usual chain hotels, travelodge, holiday inn etc

Depending when you are there, they might have the Titanic thing set up:

I'd recommend seeing the Giant's Causeway. If you're into whiskey the Old Bushmills Distillery might be worth a visit.

Titanic! That's a good idea, thanks.
