Northern Ireland
The part of the UK in the northeast of the island of Ireland, known for its dramatic coast, including the Giant's Causeway, and the urban culture of Belfast.
Northern Ireland lies in the northeast of the island of Ireland, with Belfast as its capital. The Antrim coast in the north has the World Heritage Giant's Causeway, made up of thousands of hexagonal basalt columns, and the coastal road links attractions such as the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge and Dunluce Castle. Belfast has the Titanic Museum and street murals reflecting recent history. The region has also been a filming location for many film and TV productions. Summer (June to August) has the most pleasant weather. Belfast has two airports, and you can also arrive by bus or train from Dublin, or by ferry from Great Britain.
