Belfast City Break

Belfast provides the buzz and vivacity of a modern capital city whilst being a gateway to the pastoral countryside of Northern Ireland. Situated at the head of Belfast Lough, the city is compact and easy to get around on foot. Like most capital cities, Belfast is packed with a plethora of pubs, restaurants and trendy clubs.

The birthplace of Titanic, the industrial history of Belfast has produced a city rich in culture. Learn about Titanic, from the visionaries who conceived her, to the men who designed and built her, to her ill-fated maiden voyage, as well as Belfast’s remarkable history as one of the world’s greatest ports.

Here we outline a sample weekend package which can of course be adapted to suit your tastes and budget.
