Description
Explore Belfast and its surroundings with City Sightseeing
Two of the top reasons that visitors come to Belfast are the Giant’s Causeway and the local Game of Thrones filming locations, so what could be better than getting to visit the two in one day? And by adding a 2-day Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Ticket, you’ll be able to enjoy the ultimate Belfast experience.
Giant's Causeway Day Tour
The first stop of the day is Carrickfergus Castle, a striking 12th-century fortress on the shores of Belfast Lough. One of Northern Ireland’s best-preserved castles, it offers rich history, scenic views and impressive medieval architecture.
We continue heading north along the spectacular Antrim coast to the picturesque fishing villages of Carnlough and Cushendall, which sit on the beautiful Antrim coast. Carnlough appears as Braavos in Game of Thrones, and Cushendall is full of local history.
Next, we’ll do a photo stop at the swaying Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge suspended 100 feet above the Atlantic Ocean. If this sounds scary, don’t worry - we don’t actually cross this rickety bridge! This spectacular attraction offers breathtaking coastal views and dramatic cliffs.
The next stop on the tour is maybe the best of all. The Giant’s Causeway is an unbelievable natural wonder, formed by some 40 thousand interlocking basalt columns or, as legend has it, built by an Irish giant so he could cross the sea to Scotland to fight a rival there. Whatever the truth, the Causeway is a breathtaking sight. Your entertaining guide will make this incredible place come to life with fascinating stories and facts.
Then, it’s on to the eerie and atmospheric Dark Hedges, made famous in the series as the King’s Road. You’ll stop to have lunch, appreciate this amazing natural wonder and take some photos.
Our final stop of the day is Dunluce Castle. Perched dramatically on a cliff edge, this medieval ruin is steeped in legend and tales of shipwrecks and clan battles. With panoramic views of the North Atlantic, you’ll want to have your camera at the ready to take incredible pictures!
Hop-On Hop-Off Belfast
Add a 2-day Hop-On Hop-Off Ticket to your tour and you’ll also get to explore Belfast itself, from the murals of the Shankill Road and Crumlin Road Gaol to Stormont and the Titanic Dock. There really is just so much to see in this vibrant city.
