Belfast is the capital of Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom. It’s about 166 km (103.1 mi) away from Dublin, Ireland, and a roughly 2-hour car ride can get you between the two countries. One of the must-see attractions is Titanic Belfast, a museum with exhibits on the famous Titanic that sank in 1912. For a prison experience like no other, we would recommend that you drop by Crumlin Road Gaol Visitor Attraction and Conference Centre for a walk-through or guided tour. Belfast Castle offers stunning hilltop views, so don’t forget to bring your cameras. But before you start exploring the capital, let us help you find a place to stay.
