Lisburn is a city in Northern Ireland. It is 8 mi southwest of Belfast city centre, on the River Lagan, which forms the boundary between County Antrim and County Down. Lisburn is part of the Belfast Metropolitan Area.
Formerly a borough, Lisburn was granted city status in 2002 as part of Queen Elizabeth II's Golden jubilee celebrations. It is the third-largest city in Northern Ireland. Lisburn is one of the constituent cities that make up the Dublin-Belfast corridor region which has a population of just under 3 million.
The north and south divide in Lisburn can be seen either side of the railway line that goes through the centre of the city. North Lisburn is home to many of the residential neighbourhoods, and contains the notable landmarks of the Theipval Barracks, and the Laurelhill Sportszone.

24 hours in Northern Ireland Travel Guide Video Transcript:
I recently travelled to Northern Ireland with the sole purpose of tracking down 24 unique moments travellers can experience - one for each hour of the day. From food tours to Game of Thrones experiences, and coastal walks to haunted castle visits, here’s is what I experienced in Northern Ireland.
Giant’s Causeway is a UNESCO Heritage Site that features no less than 40,000+ interlocking basalt columns. Legend has it that Irish giant, Finn MacCool, built the causeway across the North Channel to accept a fight from Scottish giant Benandonner.
The Gobbins is a modern cliff path located in County Antrim. The walk takes you across bridges past caves and through tunnels.
For my 9:00 am activity, I visited the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, which links the mainland to the small island of Carraig a’ Ráid.
The suspension bridge offers the best vantage points for landscape photos.
Titanic Belfast museum offers visitors a chance to learn about the lives of the workers who built the Titanic, along with the passengers and crew who made the fateful voyage.
An Ulster Fry features soda bread, potato bread, back bacon, fried eggs, fried mushrooms, sausages, baked beans, hash browns and toast.
With a burgeoning food scene the Belfast Food Tour is a great way to sample some of the best bites and drinks the city has to offer.
The 4-hour guided walk takes you to some top food and drink spots around Belfast while better acquainting yourself with the city!
At Harry's Shack I had a hankering for fish and chips and it was the best I’ve had in Northern Ireland.
The Dark Hedges wasn’t the only GOT destination I visited. Game Of Thrones fans will be glad to know that you can visit Castle Ward to experience Winterfell by dressing up in costume and putting those archery skills to the test.
After all that pampering, I made it down to Lough Erne for sunset with a side of roasted marshmallows. At Deanes Love Fish they had an amazing seafood platter indulging to the max!
If you’re looking for something to do at 01:00 am, be it ending the evening or kickstarting the night, the Merchant Hotel is a great spot for a cocktail and conversation. I finished the night at Bullitt Hotel, where there was a live DJ set and party atmosphere.
The story of Lady Isabella goes that after being locked in her room and starved by her husband, she fell to her death from the window. Mediums who spent the night at the castle reported that there are numerous ghosts.
And that’s a wrap for my solo adventure in Northern Ireland. I hope this 24 hour travel guide gave you some ideas of cool things you see, do, and eat when you visit. In the meantime, wishing you happy travels and until next time!
This is part of our Travel in Northern Ireland video series showcasing Northern Ireland food, Northern Ireland culture and Northern Ireland cuisine.

Christmas in Lisburn County Antrim - Things to do in Lisburn
Lisburn is a city in Northern Ireland that is located southwest of Belfast city centre on the River Lagan, so as a city it might be a famous place near Belfast that tourists could head to and check, but what about spending Christmas in Lisburn?
We believe that Christmas and New Year's Eve are usually the most glamorous days of the year; they really turn the streets into a glowing thing with all the lights and decorations that are placed there. Walking through the streets with these decorations turns into some kind of a hobby for some people - us included - and thus we decided to visit some cities in Ireland and Northern Ireland to see what they have to offer for us.
We have been to Lisburn to see what have been done to its streets, shops, and shopping centers for Christmas. At the beginning of the journey in this city, we headed to the Bow Street Mall and we should say that it was a good kind of experience because of the way they decorated the mall from the inside by mixing the Christmas theme with winter - so you will find those dogs that are responsible for strolling down Santa, there are those glowing balls which are decorating the place, and there is even Santa hanged on top in an air balloon - we actually fell in love with the atmosphere of the place as a whole.
This was the thing that highlighted the visit to Lisburn city in Northern Ireland in addition to the streets that we managed to walk through and which were also a little bit decorated with those Christmas lights and decorations. We wanted to make our trip to this city a little bit different, so we decided to head to a bowling center and play bowling for a change, so we chose Lisburn Bowl and headed there.
Walking through the streets of the city will depend on where you are because you might come across Santa waiting for you outside a specific restaurant or cafe asking you to come inside and you might pass by another one which is not decorating the place in the same kind of way.
One will never get the feeling of Christmas without the Christmas tree - will always be better with some gifts left under it as well :-) - so it always feels different when one comes across such kind of tree in the street and even if you have seen it million times the years before with the same way of decoration, you will still decide to take a couple of photos beside it - we all do the same everywhere.
From those other cities which Connolly Cove decided to visit in Northern Ireland and Ireland are the capitals; Belfast and Dublin, and we believe that being the capital city is one thing that plays a good role in making the decoration of the place much more appealing, which we believe was the case with Belfast and Dublin.
In Belfast we have been to the yearly Belfast Christmas market ( and we also got the chance to visit the famous shopping center where one could find everything he/she is searching for with all the shops it has, which is Victoria Square. Christmas in Belfast was interesting for us not only because of the lights and decorations, but also for the kind of food and drinks which we only get the chance to have from one year to the other (
Dublin was kind of the same; we walked through the different streets of the city - the city centre - got something to drink in the middle of the way, enjoyed the lights and the decorations of the street, and also passed by those Christmas carols which are rehearsed and sung in the streets and that's of course apart from the shops and restaurants which are decorated in the same kind of way (
Our series of trip to those different cities to check how glamorous their Christmas turned out to be also stopped at Antrim Castle Gardens where Christmas was being celebrated in the most right way with all the games, the food, the shows, and even the music played there; we had fun there along with the kids and we are just crossing our fingers that it would be repeated next year as well (
There are different cities around the world which are famous for the Christmas and New Year decorations that they tend to do and thus they become the favorite for lots of people, such as London for example which is known for its decorations, its shopping, and its atmosphere in general.
We dream to spend every single Christmas in a different city to be able to see the world and at the same time explore their Christmas spirit, so where do you want to spend your next Christmas and why? Where have you been this Christmas or else where are you from and how does your city celebrate this time of the year? Share with us more of your stories.
Merry Christmas to all Lisburn people and to all those watching this video :-)
