    You could visit The Salmon of Knowledge.It's a 33ft fish sculpture with ceramic tiles.

    Just stick to West Belfast, plenty of pubs, bars, restaurants and rebel music.

    Cliftonville aren't playing til the Monday night, Saturday afternoon at Solitude with a few pints would've been decent.

    As above, would recommend black taxi tour, or even the walking tour of the falls on the Saturday morning before you's take into the heavy boozing.

    Few pints in the West and I'd head into the city centre Saturday night.

    Antrim are playing at home in GAA national league on Sunday afternoon, 2.00pm at Corrigan Park just off the falls. Not sure if that's of any interest

    The Shankhill road is lovely around this time of year.

    Something fishy about that. A night on the tiles does sound fun though

    * the town, mcennenys is the place to be. Good live music downstairs, disco upstairs, full of crumpet and all are own people.
    Knowing your age group would make it easier to recommend entertainment.

    If you want a great time, i suggest you stay away from the north of the city, esp places like Ardoyne because theres * all in them but trouble. . Best to stay over west, plenty of pubs, restaurants and lovely women or even head into the city centre. Massively changed since the troubles and would be more like most UK cities now where lots of nightlife etc..(* me did i just say belfast a uk ciy, need kneecapped for that one) If your into the aul devils dust aswell, you wont have problems finding it in belfast. You can now get it quicker than a chinese take-away but dont be expecting good quality unless you know where your getting it from(so ive been told)

    Keep up updated and let us know how you get on. I know a few who been in belfast for the first time and both had mixed reviews. One * hated it because they said it was full of chavy scumbags and the other said it was a lovely city. I suppose it depends on where ya go.
