Hertz in Belfast
Belfast is the capital of Northern Ireland and, for a relatively small city with a population of around 330,000, offers a great deal to see and do. Traditionally, the city was the centre of the linen industry and its economy was also built on tobacco, shipbuilding and, as an offshoot of this, rope-making too. The Belfast of today is a city that is steadily reinventing itself with new attractions frequently opening and an exciting and thriving food and drink scene. Just a short drive away you will find some truly stunning countryside so renting a car in Belfast is a must.
Undoubtedly the most impressive of Belfast's tourist attractions is the Titanic Belfast, a huge prow-shaped building and interactive exhibition that explores every area of the world's most famous ocean liner. The ship was built in the city by Harland and Wolff and this visitor attraction is located on the company's former shipyard. You may want to discover the rest of the city by open-top bus. There are a number of tours that operate and that combine sightseeing with accounts of Belfast's sometimes troubled past. If you are considering car rental in Belfast, you will get to take in all these sights but have the freedom to go off the beaten track as well, should you wish. Also not to be missed is a visit to the nearby Giant's Causeway, an imposing geological formation of basalt columns that stretch out into the sea.
