Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland, 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.

Belfast
Belfast, the capital and largest city of Northern Ireland, dates back to the Middle Ages and has a rich history. Nestled beside the River Lagan and Belfast Lough, it has a lovely setting, often called 'the Hibernian Rio,' a long natural inlet ideal for the shipping trade. One of the last great oceangoing liners, the famous Titanic, was built here in the world famous Belfast Shipyard. Take a stroll and admire the Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian architecture, dominated by the magnificently domed City Hall. Today's Belfast offers beautifully restored Victorian architecture, a splendid waterfront lined with modern art, a fantastic foodie scene and music-filled pubs.

Bangor
Bangor is a quaint coastal town, just east of bustling Belfast. Although the town is known for its seafront, visitors can also explore Bangor Castle, the Abbey, and North Down Museum as well as getting outdoors to play golf, sail from the charming marina, or enjoy a day at Pickie Funpark.

Strangford Lough
Strangford Lough is one of the most richly biodiverse regions in Europe, with over 2,000 marine species spread across 58 square miles. Outdoor activities include sailing, kayaking, diving, canoeing, bird watching, fishing, kite surfing, windsurfing, and boating, as well as paddling and swimming when the weather is right. Take a stroll around this tranquil spot and it will seem perfectly silent at first, but listen carefully and you will soon hear the voices of the locals: birds chatter in treetops, seals splash playfully, and geese skim their wings on the water. Strangford Lough is a place where man and nature live in harmony.
