Northern Ireland — The Dispatches
Belfast
Home — the city I'm from. A mad, friendly, reinvented place between the hills and the lough: Cave Hill over the rooftops, the Ulster Museum in the Botanic gardens, some of the best food on these islands, and a pub session never far away.

Cave Hill
The basalt hill that looms over the city — climb past the caves to McArt's Fort for the whole of Belfast, the lough, and the Mournes on a clear day.
Ulster Museum
Free, brilliant, and right in the Botanic gardens — art, an Egyptian mummy, the Girona Armada gold, and a proper café.
Orto
The best pizza in Belfast — blistered Neapolitan bases out of the wood oven. (Little Wing does the biggest, if you're really hungry.)
