🚗 Belfast Road Trip Tips 🌧️🏞️

1️⃣ Weather ❄️ Belfast is chilly (especially with rain + wind!). Pack a down jacket & hat if visiting outside summer. Cold-haters beware! 2️⃣ Public Transport 🚌 Buses are sparse but efficient for city travel. Giant’s Causeway is reachable too—but we drove! 3️⃣ Taxis ($$$) 🚖 No Uber here! Try: Flagging one down Hotel bookings Apps: Value Cab or Fona Cab 4️⃣ Car Rental 🚙 Enterprise is the only option for drivers with <1 year UK license. Location: Airport (follow "Car Hire" signs). Pro tips: ✅ Get full insurance ✅ Refuel yourself (cheaper than prepay) ⚠️ Double-check bills—we got overcharged for fuel but got a quick refund! 5️⃣ Driving to Attractions 🗺️ Route: Giant’s Causeway → Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge (order doesn’t matter—they’re close!). ⏰ Leave early! Parking fills fast: Giant’s Causeway: £15/person (mandatory visitor center ticket). Rope Bridge: Arrive by 4PM or lots close. 6️⃣ Hiking at Giant’s Causeway 🥾 Take the official route: Start at the lower trail (sea-level views). Return via the upper cliff path (epic panoramas!). Reverse feels underwhelming! 7️⃣ Food 🍽️ No strong opinions—pack snacks for hikes! 8️⃣ Trip Length 📅 3 days max: Day 1: Arrival + city highlights Day 2: Titanic Museum + downtown Day 3: Giant’s Causeway day trip Final Verdict: 😌 A peaceful escape—scenic, friendly, and blissfully uncrowded! #BelfastRoadTrip #NorthernIreland #TravelTips #GaintsCauseway
