Vacations in Northern Ireland
The area and getting around
Most people arrive in Northern Ireland via the airport of the capital city Belfast, in the east of the country. This is undoubtedly the cultural and culinary heart of the country and home to its best museums. For the county’s most spectacular mountainscapes, head directly south to the Mourne Mountains. For amazing views of the wild Atlantic, go north to the Giant’s Causeway and the area around Portrush. For ancient Irish history, head straight west to Derry, with its remarkable 16th century walls.
Experience Northern Ireland’s most beautiful townsBangor on the east coast is arguably the country’s most picturesque town, replete with fine architecture, sandy beaches and scenic promenades. Coleraine in the north has a rich history and offers spectacular waterside views, multiple winner of Best Kept Town and Ulster in Bloom awards. Kilkeelin in the far south is a charming town with a blend of ancient ruins, terraced shops and winding streets just begging to be explored. Just three of many beautiful towns in Northern Ireland that await you!

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Giant’s Causeway in the far north of the island boasts a breathtaking and alien landscape which is a must-visit for walkers or all levels of experience. Top tip: instead of joining the crowds as they head down the tunnel to the causeway, take the red trail up to the mountain top for the best views of the area. For the best view of Belfast, take an invigorating walk up Cave Hill on the outskirts of the city from where you can admire Belfast’s stunning cityscape and famous landmarks below.
