Note for visitors: Northern Ireland and Ireland are two different countries... Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom we drive in miles per hour and we use the pound not the euro

[@TravelingwithKristin]

Thanks for sharing these info, @PS-ru2ov! 😊

[@garyb5998]

You are so welcome, Gillian!

[@ParagTechVideos]

Just visited Belfast and Dublin last month. Dublin was really expensive but still we booked Intercontinental Hotel it was amazing. We visited Game of thorns studio. Loved Ireland and Lush green mountains.

[@TravelingwithKristin]

Sounds like an amazing trip! I know I can’t get over how green everything is. 💚

[@ParagTechVideos]

[@scottman895]

This was such a fun video! Belfast looks like a nice city with some cool things to see there! The Antrim Coast looked awesome too! Great video Kristin!

[@TravelingwithKristin]

Thank you so much, @scottman895! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Belfast and the Antrim Coast are indeed amazing places to explore. 🌄🏞️🏰

[@AnIrishExport]

Born and raised in Ireland, I have to say... Belfast in general is much safer these days, and much cheaper to eat out, drink and find accomodation

[@mariefrancebourget1749]

Thank you Kristin your videos are so inspiring. I enjoy watching everyone of them. Have a great day! From Quebec city Canada ❤😊

[@TravelingwithKristin]

Thanks Marie! Glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@SpoobyMUFC]

[@TravelingwithKristin]

Glad to know you agree with me, Frank! 😊 Thanks for watching 🙌

[@Americanmapping44]

Ive always wanted to go to Ireland and I hope I will be able to some day. The rolling green hills coast lines castles the pub atmosphere playing jigs makes my Irish blood long for a home I never been to

[@TravelingwithKristin]

Ireland's beauty and culture are truly captivating. I hope you get the chance to experience it firsthand someday, Maryann! 🍀🌄🏰 Thanks for watching!

[@Your_Lifestyle_Business]

Your Belfast & Northern Ireland Travel Guide video was fantastic! It's great to see you exploring the beauty and attractions of the region.

[@TravelingwithKristin]

Thank you so much for your kind words, Rhett! I'm thrilled you enjoyed the Belfast and Northern Ireland travel guide video. Your support means a lot to me. Stay tuned for more adventures! 🌍🎥

[@marktrvls1218]

Nice video kristin, I drive a train along that route, havent been to belfast in a long time but must do soom.

[@k.k.9897]

That burger and fries looked amazing. Ireland looks so beautiful and is definitely on my list. Thanks for the tour.

[@TravelingwithKristin]

It was delicious! Glad you enjoyed 😊 A bit of a different style of video but it was fun to make

[@PS-ru2ov]

It's Northern Ireland not Ireland it's two different countries on the island

[@elemar5]

They were chips and not fries. She wasn't at McDonalds.

[@jaynair2942]

Wow!! It's so beautiful to watch all these trees.! Strange shepe.! It's difficult to believe it's a natural formation.! And of course the places around too beautiful.! Thanks Kristin 👍

[@TravelingwithKristin]

Nature's creations can be truly breathtaking, Jay! So glad you enjoyed the video. 👍😊 Thank you for watching!

Great video !

[@TravelingwithKristin]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching😊

[@michaelmcdowell6792]

My ancestors settled in Northern Ireland after leaving Scotland. I love studying the history. I will visit at some point. Glad to know you can enjoy your visit without drinking alcohol. I appreciate the lengths you go to cover the variety of key interests. Although I did not watch Game of Thrones, I am (according to Kindle) 93% finished with the book of over 6000 pages. Love the books but not sure I would do the tour. Glad you did it so I don' have to risk being classified as "one of those tourist." Another informative adventure. Thanks Kristin.

[@TravelingwithKristin]

It's fascinating to explore your ancestral history and interests, Michael. Enjoy your future visit, and I'm glad you found the video informative! Thank you for your kind words. 😊📚🏰

[@JasonDinero]

Thanks for the look around , Loved Ireland and Lush

[@TravelingwithKristin]

Glad you enjoyed it, Jason! Thanks for watching 😊🙌

[@-DC-]

Belfast is an incredible City found it vastly superior to Dublin, The People The Buildings the Museum's etc The entire North of Ireland is worth visiting.

[@TravelingwithKristin]

I'm glad to hear you had a great experience in Belfast, DC! Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 🏛️👍

[@gallowglass2630]

It wouldn't be hard to be much superior to dublin its an awful city full of crime

[@josealfonsosilvalatorre1826]

Great video

[@TravelingwithKristin]

Thanks Jose; should I make more travel Vlogs?

[@d.k5423]

Nice video 😍

[@TravelingwithKristin]

Thanks DK!

[@nadia8853]

Fabulous it place walking down street it xx😍😍

[@TravelingwithKristin]

Absolutely, it's a fantastic place to explore! 😍🚶‍♀️

[@alanbell6999]

Hi Kristen I'm in Northern Ireland at the moment my tour is the complete opposite of your's thanks for your video again

[@TravelingwithKristin]

You're welcome, Alan! Enjoy your time in Northern Ireland, and I hope you have a wonderful experience. Safe travels! 🌄🌟

[@HobbiesHobo]

A great way to burn up time until you can re-enter the Schengen zone but you looked like you were freezing! Thanks for the look around.

[@TravelingwithKristin]

Thanks for watching, Hobbies Hobo! 😊

[@MickKly-ih4it]

If you were looking for a place steeped in history with fabulous , reasonably priced hotels, pubs and restaurants with the most welcoming people then a trip to the north western city of Derry/Londonderry should be on your itinerary, the intact city walls provide a great view of the historical city and a tour around Inishowen provides a photographer’s paradise with some of the most beautiful landscapes and beaches in the whole of Ireland. The 90 minute train journey from Belfast to Derry is a great, relaxing and affordable way to see the north coast and beautiful countryside.

[@TravelingwithKristin]

Thanks for the wonderful recommendation, Mick! Sounds like a fantastic place to explore. 😊🙌

[@RileyRoams]

We’re so excited to visit Northern Ireland soon! Thanks for showing us around. The city center was beautiful. And the titanic museum would be very cool to check out someday. -Candice, Andrew, and Riley 🐾

[@TravelingwithKristin]

You're welcome, Candice, Andrew, and Riley! Have a fantastic trip to Northern Ireland! Enjoy the city center and the Titanic Museum. Safe travels! 🛫🏰🚢

[@digitalcomposer2000]

Never considered Northern island until your video, excellent work

[@TravelingwithKristin]

I'm glad the video, Julien! It's a beautiful and unique destination. Enjoy your future travels there!

[@elemar5]

Northern Ireland , not island.

[@robertmcfarlane4151]

Really great video and brings back memories of visiting Northern Ireland back in 2019. It was a short visit for me, and like you I didn't see the Titanic Museum. The black cab tour of the Troubles was excellent. I didn't take the GOT tour, but did get to Giant's Causeway and hiked around that whole area. Excellent. From there it was County Donegal and Slieve League which was simply spectacular. Highly recommend. You don't drink alcohol anymore?? Really?

[@mkirksmith]

I'd recommend going to HMS Caroline rather than the Titanic Museum - it's just down the way from it.

[@TravelingwithKristin]

Memories of travel are always special! Those sounds amazing, Robert. Thanks for sharing and yes, I've chosen to live an alcohol-free lifestyle. 😊🌍

[@oldbutbeautiful]

The image shown at 06:12 is of the Cliffs of Mother, which is in the Republic of Ireland ( County Clare )

[@cindyk3076]

Nice video of the Belfast area! It's a shame about the over-tourism but the area is really beautiful.

[@TravelingwithKristin]

Thank you, Cindy! Yes, the beauty of the area is definitely a highlight, even though over-tourism can be a concern. 🌍🌆

[@cosmicorphan]

Lovely to see Belfast, the one time I had a chance to cross over to Northern Ireland, I had to unexpectedly cancel my trip, I particularly wanted to see the Giant's Causeway. Shame the National Trust is charging an arm and a leg just to walk into their gift shop though. Must be a new thing.

[@TravelingwithKristin]

It's unfortunate about the high fees, @cosmicorphan. The Giant's Causeway is truly a unique and stunning place to visit. Hopefully, you'll get another chance to explore Northern Ireland in the future!

[@douglasdodds8490]

If you don't go in to the shop it's free,just a heads up.

[@9inchsnails829]

​@@TravelingwithKristinJust go past the gift shop and walk in for free. I'm local, 30 years ago my parents used to take us kids there every Sunday afternoon to walk around it. It's hard to believe that some days we would be the only people there! Imagine that when you consider what it's like now

[@user-zs1xv8sj5i]

Come to ponders end London

[@ParabellumUk]

Northern Ireland luvs you 🙌

[@JeffreyB1983]

There are two Belfast airports, most flights I've seen coming out of London HR go to the smaller BHD airport. Don't reserve a car or plan a transit line from wrong one.

[@TravelingwithKristin]

Thanks for the heads up and appreciate the tip, @JeffreyB1983! ✈️👍

[@sean_vikoren]

It's funny, this is the kind of trip I will never make. If a bunch of people want to go there, I just assume it's idiocy. Ok, the funny part: This was a great video because I got to see a place I would litterally never see otherwise, and it was amazing! Nice.

[@TravelingwithKristin]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video and got a chance to experience the place virtually, Sean! Thanks for watching! 📽️🌍

[@elemar5]

Please tell us why it's idiocy.

[@gallowglass2630]

Traditional irish music in northern Ireland is seen as belonging to catholics,not that they aren't protestants involved and in fact its part of their history,but sadly due to the troubles its become linked to the Nationalist catholic community.Don't think its as hard and fast as it used be but i think its still there.

[@dungdo3157]

❤️❤️❤️

[@TravelingwithKristin]

💛🙌😊

[@LEPPYTHEKING23]

go to Donegal u would love it

[@TravelingwithKristin]

Thanks for the suggestion, LEPPYTHEKING!

[@channelim-1129]

May I know in which Pub you visited in this videos? Is there any particular time when I can found them playing music?

[@TravelingwithKristin]

Yes it's called The Duke located in Commercial Court. I think they have music most nights!

[@elemar5]

Interesting way to pronounce Lagan.

[@klawlor3659]

Jeez how much for the airbnb? Spent £19 a night for an Airbnb bedsit off the Ormeau Rd last year! 20 min walk into town, or regular bus if needed (i just walked everywhere). It wasn't a bad part of Belfast but the walk back after a night in the middle of town was a pain! Especially if you're utterly wasted!

[@AtypicalVagabond]

How is the weather over there? I’m still here in Portugal.

[@TravelingwithKristin]

Cold! 😆

[@dirtyleeds5748]

Just don't visit in the summer marching season I made that mistake.

[@klawlor3659]

Ah come on it's great fun! It used to be fairly lethal but seems ok these days.

[@garyb5998]

Every time you say Northern Ireland.......you insult ever Irish person who have suffered English invasion and Occupation........the music you heard 😂 is still deamed rebellious

[@elemar5]

Get over it. Let the past stay in the past.

[@oldbutbeautiful]

What ARE you on about? This lady is from abroad and is unaware of this as an insult. Yje insult is you verbally attacking a visitor to these shores.

[@bencarljamin3571]

Northern Ireland.

[@garyb5998]

Lol😂Carrickfergus castle is in Ireland 👍....and so is the coast road lol 😂...........when did you leave La La English land 9ff Northern Ireland

[@elemar5]

They are on the island of Ireland but this is Northern Ireland.

[@yvonne4933]

Belfast looks cold, gray and ugly. No thanks.

[@lyndsay7011]

Don't bother then 😉

[@jeffright6627]

Really beautiful but I'll be thinking about the price of the one night stay when exploring the coast and that will be a 0 effect.

[@TravelingwithKristin]

Thanks for watching and sharing your insights, Jeff!

[@Maxwell86Smart]

Ok... I type the following with great respect... "Northern Ireland" is incorrect and disrespectful to the Irish people. The North of Ireland is the correct way, in absolutely every single way, to refer to the part of Ireland that you are speaking about. "Northern Ireland" recognises and legitimises the British divide created between brothers, this two word phrase draws a border between kin. DO NOT refer to that part of Ireland the way that you are, do not legitimise the external divide that is so evil and destructive to the awesome awesome awesome Irish.

[@robertneely9422]

If you actually lived here you wouldn't have such outdated sensitivities. I was born and live in Northern Ireland as that is the correct designation. I have an Irish passport and being resident in County Down, am consequently resident in the northern part of the island of Ireland or "The North" as a convenient shorthand. For greater precision I live in one of the six counties of the nine county historical province of Ulster. Living in the Six Counties, I am aware of the variant usage of the term Ulster to mean the Six for some and the Nine for others. When your outmoded stance fades away we will happily have our 32 County entity and a departure from the divisive rhetoric you want to preserve.

[@bencarljamin3571]

No, she’s right it’s Northern Ireland.
