What to see and do in Northern Ireland


 

Northern Ireland. It is on the island of Ireland, but not part of the Republic of Ireland. Northern Ireland is part of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Hence the flag flown from municipal buildings is the Union Jack, not the green, white and orange flag of Eire. 

Do you know anybody in or from Northern Ireland? If you fly ib, you might land at the George Best, Belfast airport. Named after the famous footballer from Northern Ireland. 

What to see and do? First and foremost is the Titanic Belfast Museum. Senior should book with them direct to get a discount. If you are not looking for the seniors discount, you might favour a tour which combines the Titanic museum with Giant's Causeway,  dramatic vertical rock formations out on the coast, or the Game of Thrones sites. Your tour might include a rope bridge, caves, the fairy wood with gnarled trees, and a chance to pose for photos with weapons such as swords. 

You could also take a taxi tour of the Peace murals.

Prince Charles took a trip there in March 2022.
