Belfast Vs Dublin for tourists?

From London, EasyJet flys to Belfast and RyanAir flys to Dublin.
We plan to take a 2 night trip to Ireland during our European trip this
summer.
Which city has more to do for tourists?
How is transportation between Belfast and Dublin in terms of cost,
speed and frequency?

Dublin. Don't believe anybody who recommends Belfast over Dublin.

Im afraid I have to say Dublin, especially for a short stay.

Well, I was going to sit on my hands until you posted. Then, I was going
to add that, while I wouldn't normally make recommendations on places I
haven't visited, I would _definitely_ say- visit Dublin! I've visited
Belfast, on a two-night trip as it happens.

I would add that we had a lovely weekend there last August- beautiful
weather, and the trip up to the Antrim Coast was just gorgeous, and we
still talk about it. City to city though, Dublin. Even though I haven't
been there.

Definitely Dublin - Belfast is miserable.

Dublin has a lot more going on. Belfast is pretty subdued (to the point of
being depressing) most of the time, and not really all that picturesque.

The train is decent (though sometimes quite crowded). You can read about it

Or the Netherlands for its castles.

How can you say that?
You haven't seen them.

I have eaten in Bruges

so have I,

And I can second the non-recommendation

Except that it wasn't any better in Brussels. I've
marked down the whole of Flemish Belgium as being
poor value for resturant food.

I've never had a bad meal in Brussels. I once had an overpriced one,
though, but that's not the same thing- the food was very good.
