InterNations — A Community for American Expats in Belfast
Hello to all Americans in Belfast! Are you interested in getting to know fellow expats in Belfast? Looking for advice from other Americans, e.g. wondering if there are any bars in Belfast which will be showing your favorite baseball or American football team’s upcoming match or where to go in town for st￭ turkey?
There’s no doubt about it: Belfast is a modern and welcoming city. The capital of Northern Ireland is a bustling city known for being the place where the RMS Titanic was built but also for its rich history, traditional pubs, green spaces, museums, Victorian architecture, and much more! With the Translink and Irish Rail services, network of local buses, and good road links, navigating your way around the city from one place to the next is simple. This also means that if you don’t want to live among the hustle and bustle of the center, you can enjoy a quieter life in residential areas such as Ormeau Road or Holywood Road, for example, which are just 20 to 30 minutes away from Belfast’s center.
Although Belfast has lots to offer, you might be wondering where and how you can meet other Americans in the city. Luckily, InterNations is here to make this easier for you! You’re warmly invited to join the InterNations community. Within our international network in Belfast, there’s a vibrant circle of American expats from all regions of USA, including New York City, Los Angeles, and beyond.

For me, the InterNations events are the best part. I attend almost every get-together and always get to know lots of friendly fellow expats.
