LOVE Belfast. Love Ireland in general but there's something extra special about Belfast 💚 I've traveled solo, with friends, & with my husband. The history of the area is fascinating, the Titanic exhibit is really cool & informative, the nightlife has always delivered great times and the people are amazing.

I loved Belfast! It was also my first ever solo trip (yay)! I stayed in air BnB about 30min walk from the city centre and it was really quiet. After a concert, around midnight I walked to the apartment on my own and felt 100% safe. No unwanted attention whatsoever! I rented a car and went to see the Game of Thrones studio and the Giants Causeway (recommend). The city itself is beautiful to want around, and then there’s the Titanic. I’d say 3 days would be enough to see it all. I found...
Posted: March 26, 2024I loved the Titanic Museum. It was perfect for a rainy day in Belfast when I was there. It's a pity I didn't have more time in Belfast.
Posted: April 23, 2023I stayed in Belfast for 4 nights. It was completely safe, I lived with locals and everyone said the same - that it's completely safe. I even walked past all the murals, where all the gates are - everything is fine :) I also went on a day trip to Giant's Causeway, it was really nice and so beautiful!

Belfast is a pretty safe city. theres a lot of homeless people on the main street but they dont bother you. The main town is well lit up at night and there’s always plenty of people around. I would just avoid going down any isolated streets due to the homeless.
Posted: July 14, 2026The main city is very safe and you can usually see people around even pretty late at nights. Its always still a good idea to go out with some people. It can be a bit hard to get a taxi on certain days

I’m not sure there’s anywhere in Belfast I’d consider unsafe for young women. I tend to avoid streets with pubs when it’s dark and full of men drinking outside. That’s just my comfort level though, I don’t consider it dangerous. I know some women who won’t walk alone on the towpath/through the park at night because they consider it a high risk activity. Honestly our main problems here are probably sectarianism, racism and antisocial behaviour (drinking and yelling on the street at night, that...

generally safe but would advise against some areas unfortunately visibly queer people will need to be a little safer. the most common experience would be slurs, but rarely assault I feel safe enough by myself but tend to stay within my queer community!

Hi, I’m Katy, I love meeting new people and going to new places! I’m queer and disabled. I struggle with travel because of my disability so I love letting travellers stay with me instead! I do prioritise anyone having problems with finding accommodation so if you’re in difficulty do message me! There is some basic safety checks I do before arrival, it’s just giving me your WhatsApp number, sending me a photo of gov issued ID (you can cover up the details apart from name and photo) and then a quick video call on WhatsApp. Once I’ve confirmed we are all who we say we are 🤣 I’ll give you directions to my home!
