You will always be able to find ways to fill your leisure time as Northern Ireland has something for everyone. If you are the outdoor type then you can enjoy the scenic coastlines, mountains, lakes, superb fishing, water sports and walking trails. If, on the other hand you are a 'culture vulture' then fear not, Northern Ireland has many beautiful venues including the 'Grand Opera House' and the 'Odyssey Arena' which play host to concerts, musicals, operatic performances, ballets, pantomimes and comedy evenings. Better still, most of the venues and attractions can be accessed easily within Northern Ireland as most places are no more than a 2 hour drive away.
Belfast the capital, has seen much investment with many areas undergoing a face-lift, seeing it fast becoming one of the most fashionable places to eat, drink and socialise. Add to that, excellent restaurants, pubs, clubs and the famous Northern Ireland 'craic' and it isn't hard to see why Northern Ireland has been named as one of the 'must-see' travel destinations by Lonely Planet's Blue List.
So whether you're interested in attractions, entertainment, shopping or getting back to nature, there's a wealth of things to see and do on your doorstep.
