Your Luxury Travel Specialist will advise the best travel arrangements for your bespoke holiday.

Belfast

A place where Victorian architecture sits happily with contemporary design, this forward-thinking city has much to offer. Expect countless museums, a wealth of attractions, and fantastic shopping - from designer boutiques to the fabulous fish in St. George’s Market. Don’t miss Titanic Belfast®, the world’s biggest Titanic exhibition and iconic landmark located on the ship’s original slipways. Other great attractions include a Black Cab tour of the political murals, Belfast Zoo, the W5 Science Museum and golf at the Royal Belfast, Ireland’s oldest club. Evenings in the city bring gastronomic delights, elegant cocktail bars, lively pubs, amazing theatre and greyhound racing at Drumbo Park.

Belfast
Giant's Causeway

An absolute marvel of nature, the famed Giant’s Causeway sits on Northern Ireland’s north coast. Comprising a staggering 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, resulting from an ancient volcanic eruption, expect to be awed as you make your way past the unique hexagonal columns of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Part of the National Trust, you can learn more about this amazing formation at the interactive exhibition, before refreshing after a bracing coastal walk in the on-site coffee shop.

Giant's Causeway
Historic Sites

With a complex and turbulent history, Northern Ireland is filled with storied buildings – from castles raided by Vikings, to monastic ruins, to 17th century mansions - including Hillsborough Castle, the royal family’s Northern Ireland residence. Belfast offers a glimpse into the maritime past of the city and the conception of the RMS Titanic, as well as housing the state-of-the-art Ulster Museum, telling the unique human story of the area.

Historic Sites
Game of Thrones

Alongside its enthralling storylines and cinematic marvel, Game of Thrones is renowned for its spellbinding settings, many of which can be found in Northern Ireland. Some scenes are filmed in a studio in Belfast, though many make the most of the impressive Northern Irish countryside – from enchanting Tollymore Forest Park, to the labyrinthine beech trees of Antrim, to historic Winterfell Castle. Dedicated Game of Thrones tours can be arranged.
