Northern Ireland is a colorful country, both literally and figuratively. It boasts of a people who are warm and hospitable and sights that are comforting, interesting, and downright majestic.

The Belfast Murals are perhaps the most noticeable tourist attraction in Northern Island. These are murals painted on almost every wall in the country. They have graced many pages of newspapers and magazines and have been featured in many television programs, perhaps because they very much reflect the sentiments of the Irish and their views on issues that matter to them.

Meanwhile, for those who are ready and willing to engage in something adventurous, Northern Island also offers an unbelievable angling experience. Whether it is sea-angling, course-fishing, game-fishing, or pike-fishing, the idyllic scenery and variety of the catch will certainly make you come back to Northern Ireand for more fishing escapades.

Most of the museums in Northern Ireland are interactive. Tourists are not mere spectators, they are allowed to hold and touch the relics on display, giving them a sense of how life is in this country. Popular museums to visit are the Sperrins, the Walled City of Derry, and the Armagh City.

The legendary Irish pubs, of course, are not to be missed. The traditional Irish pubs that still operate include the famous Madden’s, Hatfield’s, the Crown Liquor Saloon, and the John Hewitt. Pubs that cater to a modern crowd are also becoming huge attractions. In fact, every week, a new pub opens in Northern Ireland, particularly in Belfast and Derry, the two cities which are fast becoming popular weekend getaways.

Apart from pubs, theaters abound in Northern Ireland, as art galleries teem with great selections of art pieces. In Belfast, the new buildings of Waterfront Hall and Odyssey Arena cater to a variety of performances. On the other hand, the Millenium Forum is Derry’s artistic pride.
