Hi, I’m not entirely sure where the bus stop is but assume it’s near the entrance at the bottom of the hill. From the entrance of the grounds to the castle will probably take about 15 mins to walk. Bear in mind it is a pretty good hill!
It's free to walk around the gardens but not sure if there's a fee to walk around the inside. We just went inside to the lounge for tea and cakes and didn't notice any signs for a tour etc.
Looking for recommendations for where to stay in Belfast that is convenient to Belfast Castle. Thank you!
A:
To be honest I think staying in the city center is really the best thing to do as a visitor to Belfast. The Castle is very easy to reach with the local bus system or take a taxi.
Dear all needed an advise please . We are two families with four adults and three kids aged 2 to 4 have booked a ferry from Liverpool to Belfast over bank holiday weekend unfortunately all the cabins were booked we didn’t want to cancel our trip,so went ahead and booked. Do we have any place/ facilities to make our kids sleep on air matttress in the ferry overnight. Any helpful advise will be much appreciated
A:
I don't think they will allow you to do that for safety reasons. I will warn you, all seating in the lounge is upright. They don't have long seats to lie down on. Sorry.
