Tourist sites and sights to the south

Belfast is the capital and by far the principal city in Northern Ireland and outside the city you'll find quite a range of tourist attractions.

	Dundalk isn't in Northern Ireland but is worth a trip if you're near the border.
	Mourne Mountains
	Portaferry/Strangford, nice little towns with a ferry between them crossing Strangford Lough, also the Explora marine museum
	Tollymore (and other) Forest Parks

Getting around the Belfast area

The main airport is George Best Airport (BHD) which is within the city limits; for international flights you need Belfast International (BFS) which is near the town of Antrim, some 30 minutes journey from Belfast.

Outside Belfast there's a choice of the railway or country buses. In theory there are taxis but the distances involved make that a rather expensive choice.
