You can explore the murals, take photos, and enjoy the unique energy of this revitalised neighbourhood.
Peace Walls and Political Murals
No visit to Belfast is complete without learning about its complex past. Your driver will take you to the Peace Walls, which still separate communities in some areas, and explain the significance of the political murals that line the streets. This part of the tour provides a balanced, insightful overview of the Troubles and the city’s ongoing journey towards peace and reconciliation.
Stormont Estate
Home to the Northern Ireland Assembly, Stormont Estate offers sweeping grounds, grand architecture, and beautiful views over the city. It is a peaceful location that contrasts with the busy streets and provides an excellent photo opportunity.
Titanic Quarter and Maritime Belfast
After exploring the city, your tour continues to the Titanic Quarter, an award winning waterfront development built on the site of the historic Harland and Wolff shipyard. This is where the RMS Titanic was designed, constructed, and launched into the world.
Titanic Belfast
The centrepiece of the Titanic Quarter, Titanic Belfast is a world class museum dedicated to the story of the Titanic, from its construction to its tragic maiden voyage. You can explore nine interactive galleries, reconstructed ship interiors, original plans, and historical exhibits that bring the story to life.
Visitors often choose to spend one to two hours inside Titanic Belfast. Entry is optional, and your driver will adjust the timing based on your plans.
The Slipways
A short walk from the museum, the Slipways mark the exact spot where Titanic entered the water for the first time. Standing here gives a powerful sense of scale and history, as you imagine the massive ship resting on the very ground beneath your feet.
The Pump House and Thompson Graving Dock
This area offers a fascinating glimpse into the engineering brilliance of Belfast’s shipbuilding era. The Pump House and the dry dock were essential to the construction and maintenance of Titanic and other White Star Line ships. It is one of the most authentic and historic spots in the entire Titanic Quarter.
Samson and Goliath Cranes
Belfast’s famous yellow cranes, Samson and Goliath, dominate the skyline and stand as symbols of the city’s industrial heritage. These towering structures remain an iconic part of Belfast’s identity and are a must see for visitors.
