Great Victoria Street Belfast
If your coming to Belfast for the first time one thing you may not be aware of is the lively nightlife and warm atmosphere of the bars and restaurants dotted around the city. One of the main spots is Great Victoria street which is famous for many Bars and Hotels such as the Europa hotel and right opposite it the Crown bar. The Crown is one of the oldest bars in the city and has recently been restored by the National trust to its full former glory. When you are on this great street you will also have the opportunity to visit the City hall which is just a short walk away and definitely worth the visit. The new lights that decorate the city hall and adjoining big wheel really are a sight to behold leaving many tourists and the occasional local with big smiles.
As you can see there are a number of advantages to getting a hotel near the city centre as it will keep you within walking distance with many of the citys main attractions. However if you have gone for a cheaper deal and find yourself further outside the city don’t worry as there are taxis running 24 hours a day that will take you anywhere you want to go.
Using google maps to find hotels
One thing that i hear all of the time when people are looking for hotels in any city is the location and how you judge how close to the city centre the hotel is. After all if you do not know a city that well then you really don’t know where the real city centre is or even where the main hub of the town is at. This doesn’t just apply to cheap hotels in Belfast but hotels in any major city. Check out the map below to get a better idea of the local area.
