    I was in Belfast in March with my 3 children for 3 days and we couldn't fit it all in. It is a great place to visit. Unfortuately we were a few weeks too early for the new Titanic centre so just got to admire it from the outside. Must visit that next time. Don't miss W5 in the Odyssey arena. You can easily put in a full day there. Get a day ticket and come and go as you please. Bring our own food or eat in. There are plenty of options in the Odyssey for food also. You are just beside the Titanic centre there also.
    I can also recommend doing a bus tour. It is great way to get some of the history and see the murals. If you do this early in your trip you will be able to easily identify the areas you want to go back and visit.
    Belfast has a nice compact city centre so you can get around on foot easily. City Hall is a lovely spot in the fine weather.
    If you like shopping I found plenty of small shops to browse through as well as all the uk high street shops you would expect. If the weather is not on your side then you easily loose a few hours in Victoria Square. A number of outlet shops can be found out in Boucher Road. It is easy to get there by Bus from the city centre.
    Enjoy!

    We visited friends in Belfast over Christmas. We went to see the murals, which was really interesting, but we got driven around.
    Also went to the Titanic dock and had a tour there. It's not as exciting as I thought it would be in that it's quite a small exhibitions but it's fascinating to see some of the remnants of the tools used during construction and the dry dock as well as hear the history of how they got the project, etc... so yeah, would recommend it.

    In the summer Belfast Botanic Gardens is lovely.
    Go inside the Palm House for a look at nice flowers.

    Oh and don't stay only in Belfast, to go Ikea and the coast. Maybe even drive up to the Glens.
