Titanic Town

Begin in the big city with a trip to St George’s Market. It’s an award-winning feast of food, crafts, food, antiques and live music – plus, the coffee and breakfast baps are unbeatable. Then visit the unmissable Titanic Belfast to marvel at the nine interactive galleries and see Titanic’s wreck on the icy Atlantic floor. If you’ve time, squeeze in a trip to Titanic’s Dock and Pumphouse where the ship was fitted.

Later, check into a city centre hotel and take your pick from performances at the MAC, the Lyric Theatre or the Grand Opera House. Don’t forget a little nightcap in one of Belfast’s buzzing bars. Take a stroll through the buzzing Cathedral Quarter where you’ll be spoilt for choice with lots of cosy pubs & contemporary bars around each corner.
