City Breaks

Two years ago Lonely Planet described Belfast as ‘a city on the rise’ and Frommer’s rated Belfast in the Top 12 world holiday destinations for 2009. In its 2010 Guide, Lonely Planet describe the 'hip-hotels-and-hedonism party town' while adding '...get here early and enjoy it before the rest of the world arrives'...It is logical then that Belfast has become an extremely popular city break destination. City Breaks are the travel choice of the ‘teens’; with air fares and sea fares at their lowest ever and with budget airlines practically giving away tickets short city breaks are within the range of most Europeans.

We have more words for 'party' than any other culture! Words like 'craic' 'a wee Knees up' 'hooley' 'crank up the volume' 'shindig' 'a bash' 'no time like now' but it goes on and on with all expressing a sense of urgency; the Irish will party at the drop of a hat!
