The city that built the Titanic.
From the slipways and the black cabs to the Giant’s Causeway and the Antrim coast road: what each tour is really like, what it costs, and where to book.
Seven tours worth the money.
First visit or fifth, these carry a Belfast trip: the black cab along the peace lines, a full day out on the Causeway coast, the Titanic slipways, and the food that has nothing to do with any of it.

One long day on the Causeway coast.
Head north after breakfast for the basalt columns, the rope bridge at Carrick-a-Rede, and the road that runs past Dunluce Castle and the Dark Hedges. Most tours give the Giant’s Causeway a full two hours and still have you back in Belfast for dinner.
Which Causeway day is yours?
Everyone drives north for the Giant’s Causeway; how you spend the rest of the day is the real choice. Three honest ways to do the coast, each one already reviewed and priced.
All three stops
The classic circuit
8 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $33 · 1,432 reviews
The Giant’s Causeway, the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge, and Dunluce Castle in one loop, with the coast road linking them. A long day and a full one, run to a timetable so nothing gets missed.

The Game of Thrones day
8 hours (approx.) · from $33 · 596 reviews
The Dark Hedges, Ballintoy harbour, and the Iron Islands coast, with the Causeway usually folded in. Built for fans of the show, and the scenery earns the trip on its own.

Castles and cliffs
The scenic slow version
9 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $48 · 2,291 reviews
Fewer stops, more time at each: Dunluce on its headland, the rope bridge if the nerves hold, the Causeway with room to wander. For a first visit that would rather not rush.

The Cathedral Quarter after dark.
Cobbled entries, a hundred years of pub, trad music through an open door, and a cocktail bar tucked where the linen warehouses used to stand. Belfast keeps its best nights close, and a good guide knows the doors.
Where the Titanic was built.
The slipways where the hull took shape, the drawing offices, the pump-house and the dry dock, and the museum that tells the whole story. This is Belfast at its most itself.
Black cabs, murals and the peace walls.
The Falls and the Shankill, the political murals on both sides, and the peace walls that still stand between them. The black cab drivers lived it, and they set out the plain account.
Whiskey, gin and the old bond stores.
Belfast lost its distilleries and is winning them back. Taste the McConnell’s revival, a Titanic-branded pour, or a small-batch gin made a few streets from the shipyard, with the history poured alongside.
Belfast, and the coast beyond it.
The city fills a day easily, and the north coast fills the next. The Titanic Quarter for the shipyard, the Cathedral Quarter for the evening, then the Causeway road for everything that follows.
Every kind of Belfast day.
Twelve ways to spend time in and around Belfast, each already reviewed and priced. Pick the one that sounds like you and the tours behind it are ready to book.
North for the day.
The best of Northern Ireland sits within a morning of Belfast: the Giant’s Causeway, the Glens of Antrim, the filming coast, and a rope bridge slung between the cliffs. Out after breakfast, back for dinner.
Three days that cover it.
You will not see all of Northern Ireland in one trip, but three days covers the city, the coast, and the screen-famous places in between. This is the order to take them in.
Day 1
Shipyard, then the peace lines
Start in the Titanic Quarter for the slipways and the museum, take a black cab across the peace lines in the afternoon, then dinner in the Cathedral Quarter.
Plan day one →
Day 2
The Causeway coast
North after breakfast for the Giant’s Causeway, the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge, and the coast road past Dunluce Castle. A full day, and the best one.
Plan day two →
Day 3
The filming trail
The Dark Hedges, Ballintoy, and the Glens of Antrim, with the Iron Islands coast for fans of the show. Scenery that stands up with or without the story.
