We'd thought of doing Belfast as a day trip from Dublin but the more videos we watched on YouTube the more we thought that we may need more time than a few hours! How many nights do you think is best to do the city justice? We like museums and galleries, live music and pubs, wandering around to see local attractions, and eating! :) We're planning on one day trip to Giant's Causeway (an organized tour) so that eats up some time.

Well, your tour of the Causeway Coast will take a full day, and doing the city justice will take another, so I'd say at least 3 nights which will give you your 2 full days.

If you are interested in social history and how people lived in the past, you might enjoy the Ulster Folk Museum just outside Belfast. Buildings from across Northern Ireland have been brought here and rebuilt. There is a reconstructed town scene with terraced housing, banks, shop, school, pub etc.
Rural buildings and farms have been rebuiult in the surrounding area. There is a transport gallery too. Costumed interpreters explain what life was like. This is a fascinating place and can easily take up a full day.
