Answer 1

You'll find murals all over the place, except on the way to the cemetery where they buried George Best. People painted over them in order to give the English press a better impression. ;-)

Belfast Zoo is a lovely place, the view over city and bay is marvelous. They have a nice museum and I myself adore the Botanical Garden belonging to Queens. Ask the locals where there are pubs with live music, traditional and Jazz sessions, (in my time there was one in the Europa Hotel every Saturday afternoon, but that's ages ago) and have loads of fun.
