What caught my attention while landing was the lough, quiet and peaceful. When it comes to Ireland , its neighbour Northern Ireland gets sidetracked by many.
Yet, Northern Ireland is perfect for visitors looking for an Irish experience plus a great road trip on the Causeway Coastal Road, Game of Thrones excitement and Halloween festivities in towns like Derry and Belfast. Also suggestions of some paid activities. After getting refreshed, we stepped out to take a walk down Shankill Rd.
A friendly conversation with the driver led us not to Shankill Road, but to Dee Street in the vicinity of Titanic quarters, 3 miles to the East of Shankill Road.
The Irishman was right when he stated that Shankill is great in the evenings, less tourists, more time to explore at peace.
A few locals and numerous colorful murals dotted Dee Street β one of the best places to start your free things to do Belfast tour. Using Wikipedia and Google as our guide, we started our walk at the Titanic mural β with Captain Smith looking upon the ill-fated liner. There was no dearth of murals. In fact, every so often a few get added as well. Information or pictures for all of the murals is not yet available on the internet.
