Best Time to Visit

April to September, as well as October, is the best time to visit Belfast. Be prepared for some wind and rain, but there are also sunny days, especially in the summer. Try to avoid the two weeks around the 12th of July (Orangemen's Day). Many people have their holidays during the period when the traditional Protestant marches take place — the city gets very crowded.
