Belfast, the capital and largest city of Northern Ireland, is a vibrant city rich in history, culture, and modern attractions. It’s also a key location for “Game of Thrones” fans, as many scenes from the series were filmed in and around the city.
We loved the city and were very surprised. The pubs and nightlife were fun.
Titanic Belfast was amazing and we are so glad we went. One of the best museums we have ever visited.
- Exhibition: An interactive museum dedicated to the history of the Titanic, which was built in Belfast’s Harland and Wolff shipyard.
- Titanic Quarter: Explore the revitalized waterfront area, including the SS Nomadic and the Titanic Dock and Pump-House.
The Peace Walls in Belfast are a significant part of the city’s recent history, representing both division and the ongoing journey towards peace. They were erected during the Troubles, a period of conflict in Northern Ireland from the late 1960s to the 1998 Good Friday Agreement. The primary purpose of the walls was to reduce sectarian violence by physically separating conflicting communities.
We went on a great black taxi tour and learned a lot.
