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.
Visit Belfast City Hall, Grand Opera House, Ulster Museum, Botanic Gardens, Titanic Belfast, St. George's Market, Belfast Castle, Parliament Buildings, and much more. -
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. -
Omagh and the Sperrins
Omagh, the principal county town of County Tyrone is situated where the rivers Drumragh and Camowen meet to form the Strule. Just outside of Omagh is the Ulster-American Folk Park, one of the best open-air museums of its kind. The Sperrin Mountains are a range of mountains stretching from Strabane eastwards to Slieve Gallion and towards Limavady, popular with star-gazers because it is an official Dark Sky area.
Enjoy the Strule Arts Center, Ulster American Folk Park, Sperrins star watching Center, McKenna Gallery, The Abingdon Collection, Memorial Garden, Sawel Mountain, Gortin Glen Forest Park, 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.
