Trip Summary
3 nights in Belfast
Dating back to the Middle Ages, the second-largest city on the Irish Isle, Belfast has a rich history. Some visitors may already know that one of the most iconic oceangoing liners, the Titanic, was built here in the world-famous Belfast Shipyard. The city is nestled beside the River Lagan and Belfast Lough, providing a lovely and privileged setting. Take a stroll and admire the mix of Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian architecture, dominated by the magnificently domed City Hall.
Visit Belfast City Hall, Grand Opera House, Ulster Museum, Botanic Gardens, Titanic Belfast, St. George's Market, Belfast Castle, Parliament Buildings, and much more.
2 nights in Derry (Londonderry)
The old 6th-century walled city of Derry (sometimes alternately referred to as Londonderry), is a centre of culture and creativity. The walls dating from the 17th century are still complete and measure 1 mile in circumference and stand six meters thick. There are several interesting museums like the Tower Museum which tells the history of the city from prehistoric times until modern day. From here you can easily day trip to the Giants Causeway, a volcanic formation of thousands of hexagonal rocks, situated about an hour away.
Visit the Museum of Free Derry, Tower Museum, Peace Bridge, Derry Walls, Bloody Sunday Obelisk, and much more.
2 nights in Omagh and the Sperrins
Omagh, the principal county town of County Tyrone is situated where the rivers Drumragh and Camowen meet to form the Strule. Just outside of Omagh is the Ulster-American Folk Park, one of the best open-air museums of its kind. The Sperrin Mountains are a range of mountains stretching from Strabane eastwards to Slieve Gallion and towards Limavady, popular with star-gazers because it is an official Dark Sky area.
Enjoy the Strule Arts Center, Ulster American Folk Park, Sperrins star watching Center, McKenna Gallery, The Abingdon Collection, Memorial Garden, Sawel Mountain, Gortin Glen Forest Park, and much more.
3 nights in Lough Neagh
Lough Neagh captivates visitors with its tranquil atmosphere, unspoilt scenery, secluded bays, and skyward views. Lough Neagh is a haven for wildlife with many viewpoints around the shoreline, and there is so much to see and do! Whether you enjoy history and heritage, arts, local handicrafts, or exciting land and water-based activities, you can get it all here! Lough Neagh is the largest freshwater lake in the United Kingdom and supports a wide variety of aquatic vegetation fringed by associated species-rich damp grassland, reedbeds, islands, fens, marginal swampy woodland, and pasture.
Visit the Antrim Castle Gardens, Oxford Island Nature Reserve, Shane's Castle, Seamus Heaney HomePlace, Lough Neagh Discovery Centre, Ram's Island, Lough Beg, and so much more!
<b>Northern Ireland</b>, part of the United Kingdom, comprises the northeastern sixth of the island of Ireland. Torn apart during the 30 years of sectarian strife in the late 20th century, often called 'The Troubles,' this fascinating and beautiful part of the Emerald Isle has emerged to become one of the largest cultural and economic hubs in the British Isles. Belfast, its vibrant capital, is particularly popular. The historic city of Derry, the only walled city on the Irish island, was severely impacted by The Troubles; today it boasts flourishing intellectual and arts scenes.
