belfast

belfast, northern ireland

i took the 2 hour train ride from dublin, ireland up to belfast, northern ireland for a daytrip, and it was great! interestingly, despite the united kingdom having very strict covid quarantine requirements for incoming international travelers at the time, i was able to legally circumvent these by arriving directly from ireland overland, thanks to the rules of free movement and no border checks within the “common travel area” (cta). so, even during covid times, but also any other time, this was an easy daytrip, and one i’d definitely recommend!

i really enjoyed wandering around belfast (on one of the hottest days of the year), and seeing the titanic museum, the political murals relating to the troubles, and the international solidarity wall.
