Drinks & Nightlife
Trendy, upmarket complex which contains three bars and one nightclub.
The Perch is the pick of the bars as it has a lovely setting on a rooftop overlooking the city.
Sweet Afton and Rita's on the ground floor hold their own (especially when the weather's poor) and you can dance off the cocktails in China White (club in the middle floor) at the end of the night.

Slightly out of the way of the city but well worth the visit! (Easily accessible by the city bus tour which I recommend)
A fascinating look at the history of our most (in)famous export- the Titanic! There are various other fascinating historical exhibits so it's not just for maritime buffs- it's a must see.
