I've visited Northern Ireland several times a year for the past decade. First-time tourists often make these 4 mistakes.

Northern Ireland is a beautiful place to visit, but I see a lot of tourists making the same first-time mistakes.

• For the past decade, I've visited Northern Ireland every year with my Northern Irish partner.
• It's a beautiful and underrated country, but first-time visitors often make some mistakes.
• I'd suggest learning about the Troubles before visiting, and choosing less-crowded historical sites.

Northern Ireland is just a short trip across the sea from my home country...
