Discover Ireland – your way!

Some of the most beautiful and varied scenery in Europe is only a short trip away from Belfast. Within two hours, you could be boating in the lovely Fermanagh lakelands, walking the historic walls of Londonderry, exploring the wild mountain scenery of the Mourne, Sperrin or Donegal Mountains, or enjoying the beautiful Glens of Antrim. Take in the landscape that inspired C.S. Lewis and poet laureate Seamus Heaney, stroll through ancient ruins and castles, or visit a grand Georgian estate.

Dive or Drive?
Northern Ireland’s diversity offers outdoor enthusiasts a vast and exhilarating playground. Did you know that Northern Ireland is the home of some of the world’s finest golf courses, including a masters class course at Royal Down, or that you can explore mysterious shipwrecks and fantastic off-shore reefs right off the Irish coast? From leisure walks through ancient woods to thrilling adventure sports, you can create your own adventure anywhere in the country.

Rejuvenation and Renaissance
Northern Ireland is proud of its recent renaissance as a must see travel destination. The past fifteen years of peace and prosperity have transformed Northern Ireland and re-established border towns and cities like Enniskillen, Derry and Newry as vibrant centres where neighbours from south of the border shop, eat, socialize and discover. Business and leisure visitors alike are discovering the warmth and exciting culture of this rejuvenated European nation. The whole north of Ireland is quickly gaining recognition and a multitude of literary and music festivals are putting the ancient province of Ulster at the forefront of modern Irish cultural achievement.
