Northern Ireland Vacations, Tourism & Travel Information

Belfast is Northern Ireland's capital city, and attracts all the attention and tourists. Outside of Belfast, Giant's Causeway on the North Coast of County Antrim is probably Northern Ireland's biggest attraction, and a world heritage site to boot. Equally fascinating and historic is a visit to Belleek Pottery, on the banks of the Lough Erne. The walled city of Londonderry and the castle in Enniskillen make up the remainder of the must-visit destinations in Northern Ireland.

Belfast is a city made for couples, full of romance and historic attractions like the Titanic Quarter, where the ill-fated RMS Titanic was built. The Ulster Folk and Transport Museum offers an inside look at Northern Ireland, while entertainment and the urban experience can be found in the Odyssey Complex and Victoria Square shopping. Cave Hill and Belfast Castle make for an excellent picnic spot and romantic getaway.

The beauty of the Causeway Coast and the nine Glens of Antrim have been immortalized in many a poem and lyric. But even the considerable literary and musical talents of Louis MacNeice and Van Morrison pale in comparison to the soul-stirring visual impact of a Causeway Coastal road trip. Listed alongside are the highlights you'll find along the way.
