Riverside nature reserves and basalt cliffs surround the city of Belfast, Northern Ireland’s coastal capital where street art and seafood celebrate its maritime legacy and entice travellers to explore the scenic waterfront. Sit on the mayor’s throne at Belfast’s beautiful Renaissance-style City Hall, potter through the pretty Cathedral Quarter where a mosaic made up of 150,000 pieces of glass adorns the rooftop at St Anne’s Baptistery, and peruse the produce on over 200 stalls at St George’s Market. Head north for a day trip to the Giant’s Causeway, a staggeringly beautiful UNESCO World Heritage Site where the otherworldly landscape of ancient basalt columns has inspired decades of folklore and legend.

A proud maritime city with a warm embrace

4 days

Belfast’s most ambitious shipbuilders crafted HMS Titanic here, and the Titanic Quarter’s museums and galleries pay homage to both the ocean liner’s tragic end and its ground-breaking design. The city’s riverside location on the Lagan and its tumultuous history set the scene for a roll call of revolutionaries immortalized in murals and street art, whilst Regency-era hotel rooms and Victorian buildings make for unmissable landmarks. The cobblestoned Cathedral Quarter is a forward-facing corner focused on cool bars, pedestrian-friendly streets and a sense of community, and atmospheric waterside pubs pour locally made whiskey.

Your A&K Experiences:

Set out on a privately guided exploration of Belfast with your guide, unraveling the history of the city through its most famous – and under-the-radar – attractions, from the Titanic Quarter to St George’s Market. To the north lies the Giant’s Causeway, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, best toured with a specialist A&K guide who can unlock the geological secrets of these monumental basalt columns. Sample whiskey at the country’s oldest distillery, Old Bushmills, going behind the scenes to discover what makes an award-winning spirit.
