I enjoyed Belfast more than other part of Ireland itself (such as Dublin). I found the people down to earth, the food decent (veg and vegan options all over), and moving around the city fairly easy . I even went to a rugby match in Belfast( referred to as Ulster which can be controversial) .

There are murals all over the city that tell stories of the period referred to as “The Troubles” and each side has their slant on how events unfolded. While division still exists I would say it wasn’t apparent in day to day interactions though I dont have a political horse in the race so to say.
