I'm looking for advice from folks who have been to Belfast. We will be traveling in Ireland and plan on taking the bus from the airport to Dublin, then renting a car to see the rest of the Republic and Northern Ireland. Rick advises not having a car in Dublin, but I can't find any comments about driving in Belfast. Would you drive into Belfast or travel there by train from Dublin? Thanks!

We have driven in Belfast and would do it again. It's kind of like driving in Seattle. If you're going to stay for more than a day, you might want to consider either a bus or train.

If you are planning on just seeing Belfast and none of the rest of Northern Ireland I would just take the train from Dublin. It is about a two hour very scenic trip. You could also take the train to Belfast,rent a car there,tour Northern Ireland, and then return the car on your way back to Dublin.
