  Discover natural wonders and vibrant history

  Northern Ireland offers a stunning mix of landscape, history and cultural delights that you’ll find nowhere else. Beyond its stylish and buzzing capital Belfast, you’ll find craggy coastline, lush sweeping glens and encounter the warm welcome that Northern Ireland hospitality is so well known for.

  Heading north from Belfast and hugging the Antrim coastline, you'll come to the imposing Giant's Causeway, a World Heritage Site and wonder of the natural world formed out of volcanic eruptions thousands of years ago. Excite the children walking across the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge, hanging 80ft above an open chasm. Those of a more gentle disposition might enjoy the pretty lakes of Fermanagh for the wealth of fishing or learn more about Ireland's heritage at the award-winning Ulster American Folk Park in County Tyrone.

  Whatever you want from your holiday, the six counties of Antrim, Armagh, Down, Fermanagh, Londonderry and Tyrone are there to be discovered.

Traditional culture

Northern Ireland is rightly known for being a vibrant contemporary society, but it’s also home to a thriving community promoting the very best of traditional culture and music

What to see and do

You’ll be amazed by the number and variety of activities that Northern Ireland has to offer.

The landscape

The craggy coastline, mountains that sweep down to the sea, rolling glens and winding rivers are all part of Northern Ireland’s unique beauty
