Your itinerary

DAY 1 – Arrival in Belfast & City Tour

The Europa Hotel has been thoughtfully chosen for its central location. Once settled in, we embark on a guided tour, delving into the history and politics, understanding the different sides and how they live together in the Peace Process. Iconic sights on the East side include the Cathedral Quarter and the Grade A Listed Parliament Building. Not forgetting the City Hall, Grand Opera House and CS Lewis Square, where you’ll spy characters from ‘The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe’. To understand the past, we visit Catholic-populated Falls Road and Protestant-dominated Shank Hill Road, which run parallel to one another. Our guide will share stories from the peace line wall, which was built to keep the Nationalists and Loyalists apart but also separated the communities. + Included Experience – Guided tour of Belfast

DAY 2 – Titanic Experience

We take a trip to the award-winning Titanic Experience to explore the history and legacy of the Titanic, what it meant to the people of Belfast and the story of those who were on the fateful ship itself. The afternoon is free – so what’s it to be? Maybe head to the Ulster Museum, wander St. George’s Market, relax in the Botanic Gardens, or stroll along the Lagan river.

DAY 3 – Antrim Coast, Giant’s Causeway & Glenarm Castle

We start with a visit to Glenarm Castle, the ancestral home to the earls of Antrim, where we have a guided tour before free time to explore the famous gardens. We then continue up the stunning Antrim coast before we reach the magical Giants’ causeway, a UNESCO heritage site. The causeway has spawned many legends which we learn about in the state-of-the-art visitors’ centre.

The largest inlet in the British Isles, there are seventy islands there. Our destination has been voted one of the top ten gardens in the world: Mount Stewart. Deserving of its UNESCO listed status, it has been home to the famous Stewart family for over 250 years.
