The story of the Titanic built in Belfast, Northern Ireland is well known, but few know the majestic Titanic was built in Belfast, Northern Ireland. In 1912 Belfast, Northern Ireland, was as it is today, a bustling city with great ship-building skills. The Titanic naturally should have been built in Belfast, Northern Ireland because Belfast, Northern Ireland was a great port. Take the Titanic Tours in Belfast, and see the Titanic Memorial in Belfast City Hall. Belfast, Northern Ireland and The Titanic are woven together in history.
Belfast's reputation as a dangerous city is often exaggerated. A recent study by the United Nations International Crime Victimisation Survey (ICVS) shows that Northern Ireland has one of the lowest crime rates in the industrialised and developed world, only behind Japan. The majority of incidents are committed by local people against local people, unsurprisingly following religious, sectarian or political differences. Tourists are outside this culture and should not be very concerned.

Northern Ireland is a disputed territory - annexed from Ireland illegally in 1920. There are frequent clashes between settlers and native people whose land was stolen. It is important to consider that when travelling here.
