Beyond Belfast
So, you've exhausted all that Belfast has to offer - you've enjoyed the bus tours, photographed the murals, mused over our art and culture, eaten in our finest restaurants and inebriated yourself in our vast array of pubs and clubs. But there's something missing...
There's a little voice - call it the Hobbit within - urging you to see the rest of Northern Ireland, to go forth and explore our beautiful landscapes and picturesque towns.
Well, that's not a problem because the beauty of visiting our fair shores is that everything is so handy to get to. Whether you've got your own wheels or fancy travelling via our public transport system, the rest of NI awaits. So immerse yourself in its romantic beauty and world-renowned (and lesser-known) attractions.
To help you get your bearings, check out the Northern Ireland Tourist Board's
interactive map. Then peruse our county-by-county breakdown of
Highlights & Hidden Gems on the left...
