35 days in Belfast & Knock Itinerary

A city with character, Belfast remains a great place for a leisurely exploration, as it is still relatively undiscovered by foreign tourists, who usually opt to visit Dublin instead.

Step out of the city life by going to Giant's Causeway and Ballywalter Beach. Relax by the water at Causeway Coastal Route and Ballygally Beach. Change things up with these side-trips from Belfast: Gracehill Moravian Church (in Ballymena), Newcastle (Slieve Donard & Royal County Down Golf Club) and Struell Wells (in Downpatrick). There's still lots to do: steep yourself in history at Crumlin Road Gaol, get to know the fascinating history of City Walls, examine the collection at SS Nomadic, and contemplate in the serene atmosphere at St. Malachy's Church.
