Beautiful things await you in Northern Ireland. Aside from being home to the famed Belfast and Causeway Coasts and Glans, there is much more to Northern Ireland than these two famous attractions. For one, you can enjoy a scenic ride at Causeway Coastal Route where you can witness beautiful sceneries between Belfast and Derry. Plus, you can marvel at Dunluce Castle and the Giant’s Causeway during the drive. Tollymore Forest Park is perfect for nature lovers and history buffs as it offers both natural scenery and historical buildings. TV fans can drop by The Dark Hedges, National Trust - Castle Ward, and Inch Abbey, the filming locations of the hit series Game of Thrones.

Despite these attractions, it’s best to go for luxury accommodations if you truly want to experience Northern Ireland in style. For an extravagant vacation, check out our list of the top luxury cabins in Northern Ireland, UK.
