Belfast  may grab all the attention, but while the  Northern Ireland capital is now one of the top city break destinations in Europe, with cool boutiques, hip bars and stunning Victorian architecture, there’s a lot more to County Antrim than just the urban buzz of its biggest city. 

With one of the most awesome sights in the world – the Giant’s Causeway – an exceptionally beautiful coastline, historic castles and nine sublimely scenic glens, Antrim will win you over with its many charms.

Did you know?

The Cave Hill in Belfast is thought to have provided inspiration to author Jonathan Swift for his famous novel Gulliver’s Travels. The top of Cave Hill is known as “Napoleon’s Nose” and bears resemblance to a giant lying sleeping on his back – just like the sleeping giant in Swift’s novel.
