Belfast Tour Packages

Belfast is a former industrial powerhouse with a troubled past. Over the decades it has managed to transform itself into a cosmopolitan urban hub whose streets are filled with history.  This city now welcomes a large number of tourists every year who desire to enjoy its history and culture. Booking Belfast tour packages is the simplest way to visit the elegant structures and beautiful gardens of the city. 

Belfast is also a relatively affordable international destination to go on a holiday. It would be the perfect city to hop on to for people flying into England, as no separate visa is needed for Northern Ireland if you have a visa to visit the United Kingdom.

In addition to visiting a number of interesting sightseeing spots, booking Belfast travel packages would enable you to enjoy the vibrant restaurant scene of the city. You should especially remember to try the Ulster Fry here, which is the traditional breakfast of the region.  Belfast is the ideal city for walking around the streets while enjoying photographing award-winning architecture, and indulging in lip-smacking delicacies. 

Experience the Best of Belfast

When booking Belfast holiday packages, you should make sure that your itinerary includes the following attractions. 

Titanic Belfast: Titanic Belfast sits where the original luxury liner was built over 100 years ago. A visit to Titanic Belfast would surely be a memorable experience. It was opened in 2012 on the 100th anniversary of the Titanic’s maiden voyage. Booking Belfast packages enables you to check out a variety of intriguing exhibits here that follow Belfast's history as an industrial superpower and recreate the early 1900s shipyard experience. Titanic Belfast contains nine galleries which are spread across six floors mirroring the height of Titanic. It is also equipped with interactive exhibitions, an underwater cinema and gantry rides.

Ulster Museum: A visit to this museum would be a major highlight of a Belfast tour. This state-of-the-art museum features a variety of Asian, African, European and Pacific art. Here you can find the Armada Room with artefacts retrieved from the 1588 wreck of the Spanish galleon Girona and Takabuti which is a 2500-year-old Egyptian mummy unwrapped in Belfast in 1835. There is also an Early Peoples Gallery at the museum, which has a bronze Bann Disc, an excellent example of Celtic design from the Iron Age.

St George's Market: To get an authentic experience of life in the city on your Belfast trip, you should consider checking out the renovated St George’s Market. Here you can find more than a hundred stalls laden with a plethora of goods, starting from antiques to metalwork. However, most people visit this market for food. It is truly a paradise for any food lover. You would get to indulge in delectable seafood, Belfast belly-buster soda bread, Ulster fry and more here.

Cathedral Quarter: This stunning cathedral features the remarkable Spire of Hope, which was added in 2006. You would get to admire its intricate mosaics, striking sculptures, and breathtaking stained-glass windows, as well as the solemn Titanic Pall. It is also home to the shrine of Edward Carson, who was an important figure in the Unionist movement during Ireland's partition.

Giant's Causeway: A trip to Giant's Causeway tends to be a part of most Belfast tour packages. It is a cluster of approximately 40,000 basalt columns that rises out of the North Atlantic Ocean on the Antrim Coast of Northern Ireland. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site that attracts hundreds of tourists who come to marvel at this natural wonder.

Best Time to Visit Belfast

The ideal time to visit Belfast would be from May to September, during the late spring through to early autumn. This period has mild weather and longer days, and hence is perfect for sightseeing and outdoor experiences like taking a day trip to the Giant's Causeway. However, if you want to experience cultural events in the city, it would be better to plan your tour near St. Patrick's Day in March. This shall be the best time to witness a celebratory atmosphere that showcases Irish culture and heritage.
