If you've come to Ireland for the wit, warmth and music of its people, step inside the Irish Pub, and all will be revealed. Belfast has its fair share of historic bars, and this is the best way to see the best of them. Each tour begins at the Crown and, if you can stay the pace, lasts for six pubs and two hours. Travel back in time to the gaslight and Victoriana, or into the heart of Belfast's best-kept 17th-century institution, White's Tavern. Wherever you go, you'll experience good craic and endless opportunities to sample that fair trinity of Irish blessings, Baileys, Bushmills and Guinness. The tour costs £6 a head, excluding drinks.
