Updated 20 September 2026 — soft-checked against official attraction, Translink and Belfast City Council pages the same day. Prices move; treat this as a planning snapshot, not a till quote.
Belfast days are easier when you budget like a local: a few fixed ticket lines, a Metro/Glider day ticket, and honest meal bands — not one vague “tourist package” number. Pair this with our Belfast City Pass / Visitor Pass guide if you are stacking sights and transit, and use Things to Do for the listing pages.

Doing several paid sights? Compare a day ticket against the Belfast Visitor Pass / City Pass before you buy.
Meal bands (ranges, not reviews)
These are local soft estimates for a typical visitor day — not named restaurant reviews and not a quote from a till.

|---|---|---|
| Market stall / street food | ~£4–£10 | Coffee + pastry, or a hot stall plate at St George’s Market |
| Casual sit-down | ~£10–£18 | Pub lunch, café main, casual bowl/burger without a drinks stack |
