Lisburn Hotels

Today, Lisburn is a picturesque and buzzing place. It's the proud winner of the Chelsea and Dublin Flower Shows, and a major shopping hotspot. In fact, it's one of the most popular destinations for fashionistas in Northern Ireland, housing both Bow Street Mall and Lisburn Square, a lovely spot with boutiques, cafés and bistros.

Lisburn hotspots

The best way to spend your time in Lisburn is to soak up the sights at a leisurely pace. Castle Gardens is a historic public park on the site of the old Lisburn Castle and it's a picturesque, peaceful spot to spend an afternoon.

History lovers can pop across to the small but grand 18th-century Lisburn Cathedral. And the Island Arts Centre is a contemporary venue that always has something on, from music and theatre to exhibitions.

For a bit of fun it's definitely worth checking out the Hilden Brewing Company too. This independent brewery is on the site of an old thread mill, making it an atmospheric and memorable day out.

Lisburn restaurants and hotels

For a great stay, choose a Lisburn hotel that's close to all the action. There's a Premier Inn in the town, and great B&B's include Down Royal House and Lisnoe Old Farm House.

But a trip away wouldn't be complete without a good look at the local eateries. You really will be spoilt for choice in this vibrant little town. Square Bistro is a popular spot, along with Café Thyme who are well known for their cakes and desserts, and Spice, a local Indian restaurant.

So for fun, great shopping and restaurants, and a picturesque setting, check out Lisburn.
