Service is crap, stores open but nothing is on the shelves until the ''staff'' have finished gabbing and swilling tea, management is a joke!
Comment from : Bill Moore

Oh, dear The comment section is as usual for anything about NI I'm sorry to say it is as usual as well that Americans express "expert" opinion about something that they know nothing about just because they spent 5 minutes in Europe somewhere🤔

“Different names have different connotations” brbrbMeanwhile Me a tourist/b brgoing to a Belfast Shankill Road calling Northern Ireland strictly “the north” and scraping the London from Derry everytime I talk to someone 😂😂brbrEdit: Victoria Street Bus station is literally opposite of the EUROPE Hotel (yeah that hotel 😂😂) brbrthe point with Locals being friendly is spot on; had locals in Falls Road explain the backstory of every mural I saw there and the history of Bombay Street also how to get to the other side past the curfew 😂😂 Amazing brbrBut yeah don’t engage in discussions about religion or politics with locals brHad some drunk guy lecture me in a pub about how disgusting catholics are because he saw me wear a catholic cross 😂😂 I was like; “yeah sure lad cheers to that” and raised my pint and he was visibly confused 😂

Forget about service, they think they're doing you a favour, overpriced and under serviced, dirty, public transport is rubbish, stores have nothing worth a damn, bums every where, assault common!
Comment from : Bill Moore

Dont forget when you go into the chippys or pubs ask for the bobby sands supper

Comment from : aMhuir

Really well put together review of our wee slice, tho I do feel the need to point out that there are places, such as the chain store 'Spar', that do accept Euro as legal tender Burger King in some places here also accept it!

Comment from : Daniel Peti

One time I witnessed a drunken fist fight in front of middle of Belfast mcdonalds💀💀💀💀
Comment from : Bleepro1276

I live in NI and I recommend one of the best places to visit is the Cex in Belfast somewhere in the middle near the doc martens or something boot store
Comment from : Bleepro1276

Northern Ireland is not part of Great Britain You said it yourself The United Kingdom of GB and NI

HUGE TIP: Prepare for a Belfast Brawl ! 😂😅
Comment from : Josephus Anthony Bumaat

Now I know where to visit when I go over to Northern Ireland because I live there
Comment from : sten

Lovely to see your review of Northern Ireland As someone who grew up here during the Troubles, I am thrilled that tourists want to visit this part of the world Other places of interest might include the Ards Peninsula - maybe not as dramatic as the North Coast but still worth a visit The Saint Patrick’s trail is worth a look Portaferry - get the ferry to Strangford & go for some seafood So much to see
Comment from : S McB

The "We don't care if your great great great family member is from Ireland" is so true haha It's not that we don't care per say, its the passion of which the person is saying it is too cringe What do they expect our response to be? It's just awkward
Comment from : Michael

You can watch any Orange marches trouble free, the contenious ones that make the news are a tiny percentage of marches, the OO have no issues marching in the Republic every year
Comment from : Goldsovereignuk

Here’s my biggest advice as a belfastian brbrDon’tbrLeave while you can
Comment from : Harrisen Goalie

Love your review, I lived here all my life and you'll not find warmer friendlier people in the worldbrI would say a visit to the Fermanagh lakes and the caves is a must Enniskillen is a great base to enjoy exploring the surrounding area And a visit to the Ulster American Folk Park outside Omagh is worthwhile to really see the shared heritage
Comment from : Malcolm Clarke

I don’t need to visit Northern Ireland because I live right in its capital Belfast
Comment from : JJTHEARTI3T

As a Northern Irish person, my advice is:brbr1 Don’t discuss politics or religion, even if people raise itbr2 Refer to Northern Ireland as such But be cognisant of the fact that some will refer to it as “the north”, “Ulster”, “the province” etcbr3 Be aware that we spend pounds, not euros We accept Bank of England and Scottish notes Some places will accept euros but we do not use euros as our currencybr4 Think of NI as a halfway house between GB and Ireland culturallybr5 Don’t listen to the media’s depiction of NI We are not a war zone, nor are we constantly at loggerheads It’s a peaceful society, with people getting on with their lives So do not anticipate a negative timebr6 In terms of places to visit of course Belfast but also the north coast and north west When visiting Belfast do more than taxi tours most of us didn’t live that lifestyle
Comment from : Winter snow Owen

Great video Wolter! As a Derryman I do have some advicebrbrI’d note that while Northern Ireland’s official currency is the Pound Sterling, in the border regions there are a lot of businesses that will accept Euros (the Republic of Ireland’s currency) brbrWhile George Best airport is one of our airports, it is not Northern Ireland’s main airport Our main airport is Belfast International Airport, aka Aldergrove Airport, which is located about 20 miles to the west of the city near Antrim town Aldergrove does a lot more flights and destinations than George Best airport So keep that in mind brbrNorthern Ireland overall is safe, affordable and very friendly to tourists! I’d personally recommend visiting the north coast (along the Antrim coast towards Coleraine) and Derry city as well The north coast has some of the most beautiful coastline in Western Europe (though I suppose I am a bit biased!) brbrI’d also recommend trying an Ulster fry and some of our whiskey; some of the true beauties of our country!

Comment from : 𝖈𝖍𝖔𝖈y 𝖒𝖎𝖑k

Do not leave your coat on a hanger, it will be stolen and you'll be left with a rag, don't argue, you will be assaulted, avoid beggars, not a lot of people wash, everything is overpriced, quality is crap, people yell all the time, they think they're doing you a favour by serving you, they are all going to be managers!
Comment from : Bill Moore

Hi Mark, this video is very helpful for understanding how to get around Northern Ireland and my family will be visiting Northern Ireland during the Memorial Day weekend
Comment from : Tobi Ojo

Restaurant: brWe tried 3 restaurants (from the Irish award list), 2 requires Online booking, even though one has 80 empty seatsbrbrParking (if driving a Republic of Ireland reg plate):brHigh chance car gets vandalised if park in pro-UK areas/housing areas, as advised by my Irish husbandbrbrIt is raining most days xDbrbrWifi: Shit wifi xD
Comment from : Leung Hiu Ching Oriana

1:08 Northern Ireland is not part of Great Britain Great Britain is the island of England, Scotland and wales Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
Comment from : I L

As someone who is Northern Irish, I have no clue why I'm here hahahaha You're completely right about the Causeway Costal route, I spent a lot of my childhood in that area, and I've never found anyway that could compare to its beauty
Comment from : YourLocalNirvanaFan

Northern Ireland is manufactured sectarian state
Comment from : crackentone

I just call the whole thing Ireland
Comment from : Mysterious Realms

Point of information: Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom but not part of Great Britain And the Isle of Man is the other way round
Comment from : William Emslie

Comment from : bo

Wish you did a video about derry Would love to see what you thought about my hometown
Comment from : Padraig Pearse

I know you know, but just to be clear since once or twice you interchange them even when warning about themNI is NOT part of Great Britain It's part o the United Kingdom of Great Britain (which is the island where most, but not all of England, Wales, and Scotland are) and Northern Ireland However, you can use British as a general term, well, mostly
Comment from : naponroy

Once again you are talking shit about Ireland
Comment from : Michael Macuistin

Loved visiting Belfast and finally meeting all my Irish relatives living there Really enjoyed discovering my Irish roots
Comment from : Hipit55

It’s not recommended to visit Northern Ireland Why? Because Brexit has created even more hostilities… Understand, GB took what it wanted, from whomever it wanted to That includes NI The British intentionally inflicted genocide upon the people of Ireland, and the Irish fought back, leading to an independent Ireland Don’t visit, don’t support NI economically England needs to leave Ireland, close this book, for everyone’s sake, forever
Comment from : D Nahil

Comment from : BiffBuffchest

'Northern' Ireland isn't a country it's a contested state It's not part of great Britain as that is an island over the sea
Comment from : Floss

1/3 of Ulster is in the republic
Comment from : jimmy Ryan

Their not friendly towards catholic people😮
Comment from : Gerard Deegan

Watching this video made me want to go back to NI I got to visit last Aug/Sept to visit a friend and it was such an amazing experience I loved Belfast, the Causeway and just the country as a whole! I cannot wait to go back!
Comment from : valestraladyofthesith

It's part of the United Kingdom, not Great Britain As you said: the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
Comment from : SensationalFailure

If you are going by train from Belfast to Dublin great Victoria St is not the right train station
Comment from : Thomas Reiser

I’ve been lucky enough to visit NI many times with work but I haven’t really seen much outside of Belfast (which I think is a great city) Definitely want to bring the family over and do the coastal drive
Comment from : Rich Adam Budgen

The British should leave Northern Ireland and it should be united so Ireland can be free of foreign occupation and determine its own future
Comment from : Noeono Ohno

Great vid!
Comment from : Gemma Morgan

"British Isles" this guy is just gas lighting us
Comment from : Michael Fallon

In ULSTER there are Nine counties , six of those counties are under the UK Government The other three counties are part of the Republic of Ireland
Comment from : Jake

been there twice first time in the late 80s, I felt quite intimidated, every shop and street seemed to have a flag indicating which side they were on so when my wife booked a long weekend there for us a few years ago I was a bit nervous about it didn't need to be, what a fantastic city it is, just like you say in this video and I know you are going to do a separate video about the food, but yes, we found several small independent restaurants that were all excellent love Belfast and I would go again
Comment from : fleab

Love all your travel tips and tricks! They’re all so useful Can you give us some pointers about how to get around with toddlers on your vacation? Things like strollers, car seats, cribs etc if you brought any of those things with you Thank you!!
Comment from : Jennifer Torres

As a Belfast native, I watched your videos before going to Canada and USA last summer and it is great surprise to see you enjoying yourself over here! Anyone getting an ulster fry make sure it has potato bread and soda bread If anyone needs tips, especially for the best pints let me know!
Comment from : Michael Mc Ferran

I agree with everything on here although I did find accommodation expensive in Belfast People are super super super friendly for sure The murals and Shankhill/Falls Road areas are definitely worth experiencing I hiked the Causeway Coast last year and it was fantastic, would fully recommend And Kelly's Cellars in Belfast is the place to go for a pint of Guinness!
Comment from : No Soy Rubio

wolters u might want to mention on highways the fast lane is the right lane over there
Comment from : Steve

Thank you for the most beautiful videos and trips You are the owner of the most beautiful content and professional photography I have an important question I will visit 15 countries Brazil and Argentina Uruguay, Peru, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Honduras, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Cuba and Mexico My question is, what are the dangerous and unsafe countries that are not recommended to visit because of the danger of gangs? I also have an important question Do I need a yellow fever vaccine or do I not need a vaccine? Thank you
Comment from : ALIX

How funny! Ive recently decided to move to belfast on a visa Went to your channel first to see your opinion, and your latest video is about it haha! And jocelyns video was on point too haha Thank you for always being my go to and a great source of realistic knowledge!
Comment from : alicia chao

Little tip: if you’re heading to England, Wales or Scotland after being in Northern Ireland, it’s best to go cashless whilst you’re here (I live in Belfast) A lot of places across the water will not accept anything but Bank of England notes, even though Scottish and Northern Irish notes are legal tender
Comment from : Tariq Khader

How have you read 'Edinburgh' and said 'Edinboro'?
Comment from : Digby Taylor

I love your travel advice and videos! But it's equally fun to watch your boys grow up! Love your family!
Comment from : S W

Born and living in NI my whole life, this is a great video on how to visit our wee country and be respectful too ! Especially the smaller details like Great Victoria station being the best, to making sure to get an Ulster fry or a chippy, I really enjoyed the video and would urge people to give Northern Ireland a visit sometime soon : ) (PS I’d also recommend glenariff’s mountain trail for the views, it’s just off the causeway coastal route! )
Comment from : Jack McM

Glad you touched on the politics topic It is important I have been told not to exchange too many $ into Irish Pounds as they may not be accepted in Scotland or England if you are traveling there afterward
Comment from : Paul Koza

It all the one country all 32 continues if it’s not part of Ireland why do they play in the all Ireland championship game’s
