All about the Belfast Christmas Market, one of the best Christmas markets on the island of Ireland

It is officially feckin’ COLD here in Ireland, and Christmas season is in full swing! The pubs are decorated, the Christmas lights are up, the nights are long, and the festive vibes are everywhere!! And that means it’s time for one of my favorite holiday activities…visiting the best Christmas market on the island of Ireland. The Belfast Christmas Market!!

Going to the Belfast Christmas Market has definitely become one of my favorite holiday traditions since living in Ireland. I’ve gone every year for the last few years and I have a blast every single time I go! Even though Dublin also has a Christmas market, I always make a trip to Belfast during the holiday season to visit this market because it’s so fun! So, here is everything you need to know about the Belfast Christmas Market from a gal who truly LOVES it!

I felt it was topical, being that the season finale of Game of Thrones aired here yesterday (I’m STILL in shock), to talk about the recent Game of Thrones tour I did departing from Dublin! Whether you’re a fan of the show or not, it’s a great option for a day trip from Dublin filled with scenic stops at castles, forests, and coastal viewpoints.

There are TONS, and I mean TONS, of options for day tours from Dublin. Whether you want a quick tour of the local area or a 10-hour day tour going across the country, there’s something for everybody.

And there’s even something for Game of Thrones fans, like this great Game of Thrones day trip leaving from and returning to central Dublin, bringing you on a long journey of different Game of Thrones sites in Northern Ireland.
