*Pick-up time from Dublin City Gallery the Hugh Lane is at 6:45 am
The first stop is the Harland and Wolff shipyard, where the Titanic Museum is located. As the top-rated tourist attraction in Europe in 2017 and winner of the World Leading Tourist Attraction 2016, this is an opportunity not to be missed. The Museum is full of interactive displays, pictures, videos, and a 3D experience. Discover insightful exhibits detailing the construction, voyage, and legacy of the Titanic. Here you can experience the entire life and storey of the Titanic, from her fateful maiden voyage to her eventful discovery on the seabed of the North Atlantic. The journey will take you beyond the aftermath of the sinking to the later discovery of the ship. You will get around 1.5 hours to explore. Entrance fees are included.
We also do a 5 minutes photo stop at Dunluce Castle. This 13-century castle ruin is known as the nicest photo opportunity of all castles in Ireland and will make any amateur photographer look like a professional photographer.
We then head up to the Giant's Causeway, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site that consists of 40 000 interlocking hexagonal basalt columns. These columns were formed around 60 million years ago in the aftermath of a volcanic eruption. Because of the exact science of contraction that happened, this is a very unique place to visit. Not to mention it is located on one of the most spectacular coastlines in Ireland with views as far as Scotland on a clear day. You will have 1.5 hours to explore the “8th Wonder of the World”.
Next, we go to the Dark Hedges. This lane of trees was featured in shows like Game of Thrones and films like Transformers and is worth a photo stop on our way back to Belfast. We will do a quick 20-minute stop and give you the opportunity to walk from one end of the lane to the other and take a few pictures to remember for many years to come.
Our last stop of the day is Belfast. This city has transformed itself from a city that was known for The Troubles, to a city that is known for the friendliest locals in the world. You will now have an opportunity for around thirty minutes to explore this amazing city centre before going back to Dublin.
Arrive back in Dublin between 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm
