Each of Northern Ireland’s cities has its own distinct character. There’s gracious Armagh with its strong links to St Patrick (it has not one, but two cathedrals named after the saint); arty Lisburn with its 18th-century streetscapes; and buzzing Newry, a modern urban hub with a history that stretches back over 850 years. But that's not all...
One of the best coastal drives in the world, according to Condé Nast Traveler, the Causeway Coastal Route stretches from Belfast to Derry~Londonderry and brings you past breathtaking scenery and unforgettable experiences.
Along the way, you can walk the Gobbins Cliff Path, clinging to the rugged edges of the County Antrim coast, cross the exhilarating Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge that links the mainland with tiny, craggy Carrick Island, or visit the working lighthouse and newly refurbished RSPB seabird center on the beautiful Rathlin Island.
Then the ultimate pitstop: the Giant’s Causeway, a UNESCO World Heritage site consisting of 40,000 hexagonal basalt columns tumbling into the ocean. Trust us – this is one road trip you’ll never want to end.
