Description
Exploring Belfast's must-see sights and top attractions couldn't be any easier! Leave the logistics of travelling between the capital's landmarks to City Sightseeing... all you have to do is sit back and enjoy the views on a Hop-On Hop-Off Tour. Hop on and off the bus as often as you like throughout the city tour, and discover everything from the beautiful Edwardian Belfast City Hall and impressive Parliament Buildings on the Stormont Estate, to the peaceful Botanic Gardens, the Titanic Quarter steeped in history and the colourful murals of the Peace Wall.
But the fun doesn't end there... with this City Sightseeing combination ticket you'll travel back in time to the First World War as you discover the fascinating story of HMS Caroline. Climb on board this restored wartime vessel and embark on an interactive self-guided tour which takes you below deck to recreated spaces, including the Engine Rooms, Captain's Quarters and Sick Bay. See the drama and devastation unfold in a film about the Battle of Jutland, take a break in the Mess Deck Café which looks just as it did in 1916 and try and crack the signal lamp code which was used to communicate at sea. Plus, see the ship's replica 6-inch guns before heading up to the Navigating Bridge where you'll enjoy panoramic views of Belfast Harbour.
Discover all this and more with City Sightseeing! Book online today for your chance to see all of Belfast's most important sights on a Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour and discover what life was like at sea for over 300 crew who served on board HMS Caroline during WWI.
