Take a scenic trip from Dublin to the Northern Ireland city of Belfast, stopping on the way at historic Drogheda, the monastic settlement of Monasterboice and an ancient dolmen. Belfast is Ireland's second biggest city and some may say the most interesting of the lot. The river Lagan runs right through the middle of town and walking along the riverside gives you an opportunity to see the old and new of this dynamic place. At the moment, the authorities are building the new Titanic Quarter which will rejuvenate the port part of the city and really bring it into the 21st century.
You will have free time in Belfast and enjoy an insightful tour with local guides who lived through the darkest days of the ‘Troubles’ in Northern Ireland. You’ll visit the Falls Road and also the Shankill Road, homes to thousands of nationalist and loyalist families.
You also have the chance to visit the Republican Museum which will give you a special perspective on the history of Belfast. This is one day that you will not forget
