A city boasting an eclectic mix of architecture, history and culture, Belfast has a unique character and an easy charm. Add to that its wealth of attractions and it’s easy to see why it’s a destination that draws in visitors from far and wide.
Be inspired at the Ulster Museum
A city with a complicated political past, Belfast chronicles the turbulence of the Troubles at the impressive Ulster Museum. Here you can learn all about the events that unfolded over the decades and how far Belfast has come since those dark days.
There’s plenty more to see and do at the museum too. With art, history and science exhibits, you’ll find a bit of everything here – from contemporary sculpture and ceramics to flora and fauna, alongside crafts and creations from Asia, the Americas and the Pacific.
Coast along the Causeway
The ruggedly beautiful Causeway Coast is one of the world’s most famous coastlines. Stretching from Belfast to Derry, you’ll discover ancient, crumbling castles next to quaint villages, while the air is filled with the sound of waves crashing against the rocks below.
Landing at Belfast International Airport means you’re in prime position for visiting the most famous spot of all, the Giant’s Causeway. Head first to the visitor centre to get up to speed with the tales of battling giants that surround this geological wonder before seeing it in all its glory.
An astonishing natural phenomenon, the view from above is one of the most powerful – a sea of basalt columns formed by an ancient volcanic eruption stretching out towards the Atlantic.
Titanic Tours
Located at the birthplace of the RMS Titanic, the Titanic Belfast visitor experience is a fascinating exploration of the story of the ill-fated luxury liner.
Take the discovery tour to learn about everything from Belfast’s role in the construction of the world’s most famous ship to the passengers who were on board when it met its end in the freezing waters of the North Atlantic.
The museum is situated in the Titanic Quarter of the city – a waterfront development that’s a striking symbol of Belfast’s regeneration. There’s plenty to see here and a range of eateries where you can grab a bite to eat.
