Ready to explore a new part of the UK on a staycation in 2024? An underrated Northern Irish city has been named as one of the best places to visit this year.
Tripadvisor has just released its prestigious ranking of the best places to visit this year and luckily for Brits, there’s a few UK hotspots on the list.
While Edinburgh swept the board with awards in two categories, Belfast made the top 10 for sustainability.
The capital of Northern Ireland isn’t as well-known as Edinburgh or London but could be the ideal destination for British tourists who want to explore a new part of the UK.
A Tripadvisor spokesperson said: “With a population of almost 300,000 in the city proper, Belfast has grown into a cosmopolitan destination and become a popular weekend break spot.
“With feelings of optimism and life pulsing through the city, Belfast makes for an energising getaway. It’s never been easier to tour the city, thanks to a number of intriguing bus, taxi, boat and pedestrian options.
“Don’t miss the Ulster Folk Museum or the Belfast Cathedral, and make sure to experience some of the award-winning restaurants, bars, clubs, galleries and theatres.”
Belfast’s Titanic Museum is fast becoming one of its leading attractions and offers visitors the chance to learn more about the stories of those onboard.
At St George’s Market, the city’s last surviving Victorian covered market, tourists will find local produce and unique gifts and souvenirs.
There’s a lot of buzz around Belfast and the city was also named as one of National Geographic’s coolest destinations to visit in 2024.
Belfast’s Botanic Gardens are a free attraction with tropical gardens, an alpine garden and rose garden.
