Start in Belfast (capital and largest city in Northern Ireland, full of stunning Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian architecture and best known for being where the RMS Titanic was built); after that, visit The Antrim Coast (from Ballycastle to Larne contain some of the most beautiful and varied scenery in Northern Ireland. The area is dominated by a high undulating plateau cut by deep glens which open north and eastwards to the sea). The historic village of Bushmills is just inland from the coast and is home to the UK`s oldest whiskey distillery. Continue, driving along the rugged coast, enjoying one of the world`s most iconic road trips, and where to marvel at the beauty of the UNESCO World Heritage Giant`s Causeway (made up of some 40,000 massive black basalt columns sticking out of the sea. The dramatic sight has inspired legends of giants striding over the sea to Scotland). Finally, spend a nice stay in Derry (northernmost city that keeps its walls around the city completely intact). This is a flexible vacation package. Select your number of nights in each city, desired hotel and activities.

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.
England
American travelers cannot get enough of England, and to this day it consistently ranks in the three most popular European countries in terms of visitors per year. Nearly everyone visits London, one of the world`s most important cities and the epicenter of what was once a vast world empire, but England should definitely be explored in-depth, from the charm of the Cotswolds to the seaside resorts on the English Channel and the Irish Sea to the beautiful landscapes of the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales, and the Westcountry. England is a country where the present day and over a millennia of history routinely intersect.

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.

It sets the stage for epic adventures, both real and fantastical. Delve into the history and legends of this stunning area and the nearby Causeway Coast. Discover the scenic spots where parts of the mega-popular series Game of Thrones was filmed, hike along rugged paths or stroll scenic beaches and glens.

Giants Causeway Coast
The Giant's Causeway Coast lies at the foot of mighty basalt cliffs along the sea coast on the edge of the Antrim plateau in Northern Ireland. The spectacular area is an important global geological phenomenon, comprised of some 40,000 large, regularly shaped polygonal columns of basalt in perfect horizontal sections, forming a pavement. It is protected by UNESCO not only for its beauty, but also for its cliffs, seashores, marshes, and grasslands that are home to more than 50 species of birds, as well as more than 200 species of plants.

Derry (Londonderry)
The city of Derry (also referred to as Londonderry) is a center of culture and creativity in Northern Ireland. The city walls, dating from the 17th century, are still complete and measure one mile in circumference. Particularly hard-hit during 'The Troubles,' Derry thrives today as one of the North's most unforgettable cities. It is a great jumping-off point for exploring the sights of the North Coast, like the Giants Causeway, a volcanic formation of thousands of hexagonal rocks, situated about an hour away.
