A short distance from Belfast city center brings you to the living history of the Ulster Folk museum, which allows visitors to experience Ulster life more than 100 years ago. Tourists can stroll the village, which is home to nearly three dozen structures, including both restored historic buildings and reproductions. Among them are labourers' cottages, working farms, rural schools, and village shops, many of which feature interpreters who go about their day in an early 19th-century life.Right next door is the Transport Museum, where you can clamber aboard steam locomotives and explore its impressive collections of electric trams, fire engines, motorbikes, beautiful vintage cars, and horse-drawn carriages.
