Northern Ireland

About Northern Ireland

Visit: England | Scotland

The intensity of Northern Ireland’s landscapes and sights match the country’s fierce and fascinating history. With so much to see and do in a very drivable country, it’s a challenge to make time for all it has to offer. Travel to Giant’s Causeway to explore the phenomenal northern coast. Cruise around Belfast on a black taxi tour to see the lingering remnants of The Troubles and run your fingertips over the city’s enormous peace walls that still separate either side of the conflict. Whether you spend most of your time in the city or exploring Northern Ireland’s countryside, this is a country that can’t be missed during a trip to the U.K.
