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.

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.
Visit the Museum of Free Derry, Tower Museum, Peace Bridge, Derry Walls, Bloody Sunday Obelisk, and much more. -
Lough Neagh
Lough Neagh captivates visitors with its tranquil atmosphere, unspoilt scenery, secluded bays and skyward views. The lake and its surrounding countryside are a haven for wildlife, supporting an entire ecosystem of rich damp grassland, aquatic vegetation, swampy woodland, and pasture along with the species who thrive in these environments. From history and heritage, visitor attractions and crafts, to land and water based sports, Lough Neagh is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country.
