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 everything reasonably priced but I also did a lot of research before I went so I did know what to expect.
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!
Posted: February 25, 2023I went for a long weekend and at any time of the day I felt incredibly safe. I highly recommend a guided walk through street art.

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!
Posted: April 27, 2025Belfast is like anywhere it has is good and bad overall it’s pretty good city people are nice. There are crimes that happen all over Belfast it is safe enough like, I think any female would feel unsafe to walk at night anywhere nowadays .
