Belfast
A dynamic capital city combining a unique blend of the past and future. Offering heritage, culture, shopping, nightlife, entertainment, renowned arts festivals and more. The exuberant Victorian architecture of Belfast is a reminder of when the city was the industrial epicentre of Ireland. Giant twin cranes, known locally as Samson and Goliath, stand in the Harland and Wolff shipyard. Once the largest shipyard in the world and birthplace of RMS Titanic, you can tour many of the landmark sites involved in the design and construction of this famous vessel.

Armagh and Down
The region of Armagh and Down is where St Patrick began his ministry in Ireland, and the countryside near Strangford Lough is dotted with evidence of his presence; the early Christian churches at Saul and Raholp, the wells at Struell and the burial spot of the patron saint in Downpatrick, where an interpretative centre tells his story. Follow in his footsteps to Armagh where the development of Christianity is evident from the country churches and St Patrick inspired impressive cathedrals which rise above the Georgian architecture throughout the spiritual capital of Ireland.
Head south to the Mourne Mountains and discover not only the breathtaking views, beautiful beaches and vast range of activities available but also the unique history and wildlife of this beautiful region.

Co Antrim
North of Belfast, explore the renowned Causeway costal route and embark on one of the most scenic roads in the world winding through picturesque fishing villages, passing magnificent waterfalls, forest parks of the Glens of Antrim before leading to the infamous swinging ropebridge at Carrick-a-Rede and the ruined Dunluce Castle, perched on a cliff overlooking Blue Flag beaches. Of course, no trip to the northern coast would be completed without visiting the Giants Causeway, Ireland’s first world heritage site with its mystical rock formation attracting the curious for centuries.
