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
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. -
Bangor
Bangor is a seaside resort on the southern side of Belfast Lough and is part of the North Down constituency. Tourism is important to the local economy, particularly in the summer months, and the seafront is a popular location, which is currently in the midst of a massive redevelopment plan!

Strangford Lough
Strangford Lough is one of the most richly bio-diverse regions in Europe, with over 2,000 marine species. Experience sailing, kayaking, diving, canoeing, bird watching, fishing, kite surfing, windsurfing, boating, and when the weather is right, paddling and swimming. Take a stroll around this tranquil spot; 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.
