Northern Ireland's Scenic Gems

Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom and is located in the northeastern part of Ireland. Although it is one of the four countries of the UK, it is more commonly referred to as a region of the United Kingdom.

Known for its stunning landscapes and turbulent past, the country has many spectacular natural wonders and was one of the main filming locations for the TV series Game of Thrones.

The worldwide popularity of the series has drawn fans from across the globe to visit and explore some of Northern Ireland’s most incredible scenery.

Belfast's Vibrant Nightlife

The capital city of Belfast is a fantastic city to explore. It is where the RMS Titanic was built, and you can learn the incredible history behind the doomed ship by visiting the Titanic Belfast experience.

Belfast has fantastic nightlife, and many visit the city to enjoy good old-fashioned knees up in some of Northern Ireland’s best bars and pubs. There’s something to suit everyone, too, from techno nightclubs to wine bars and microbreweries; no matter your scene, you’ll be sure to find somewhere to let your hair down.

The city also has remnants of its turbulent past, which can be seen in the walls separating parts of the city. These ‘peace lines’ as they are now known, show moving murals of the time of the troubles and are stark reminders of the past and symbols of the present.

Legend of Giant's Causeway

One of Northern Ireland’s most famous attractions is the UNESCO World Heritage Sight, The Giant’s Causeway. This outstanding natural beauty gets its name from a legend claiming that giants carved out the rock columns.

Whether you believe the legend or not, the sight is breathtaking to behold. The Giants Causeway also leads to the spectacular causeway coast, and this scenic coastline is not one to be missed. Rugged clifftops, windblown shores and mythical ruined castles all await travellers exploring this area.
