Hear the Titanic story. One of the reasons tourists head to Belfast is to learn more about the Titanic. Why not book a place on one of the Titanic Walking Tours!
Go shopping! Belfast excels in shopping so enjoy a day of browsing their range of high street, boutique and independent shops.
Forget public transport. The city is extremely compact so you can easily visit the top attractions on foot.
Go to the zoo! For a great family day out find your wild side at Belfast Zoological Gardens.
Get away from the city. If you need a day to relax away from the city’s excitement, take a day trip to the countryside. The Giant Causeway is only an hour away!

Go see the Stormont Estate where the northern Irish parliament meet, it looks like a giant palace!
