While the days are getting longer and the weather a little warmer, it’s time to end the winter hibernation and get ready for some Springtime travel. Here are 7 destinations – both above and below the radar you should have on your list – after all, if not now, then when?
Belfast, Ireland
Belfast is the under-the-radar Capital of Northern Ireland located around 90 minutes driving time north of Dublin. The time of the ‘troubles’ has largely receded following the Good Friday agreement of the late 1990s. That said taking a black cab tour of some of the more infamous roads to see the street art and walls dividing the capital along sectarian lines have an edgy feel to them. A star attraction of Belfast is Titanic Belfast – a recently opened museum dedicated to telling the tale of the Ocean liner Titanic, the people who built it and sailed on her doomed maiden voyage, which was awarded Europe’s best visitor attraction at the World Travel Awards. Another big tourist draw is to tour the locations used in the hit HBO series Game of Thrones. Make the most of your stay at the Fitzwilliam Hotel – an award winning boutique hotel with locations both in Belfast and Dublin.
