Things to do in Belfast International Airport
Belfast International Airport serves Northern Ireland's capital, transformed from its Troubles-era reputation into one of the UK's most dynamic and welcoming cities. Titanic Belfast — built on the exact site where RMS Titanic was constructed — is one of the world's best maritime museums. The Cathedral Quarter's bars and traditional live music, the Falls and Shankill Road murals (Northern Ireland's living political art), and the Victorian Crown Bar (a National Trust pub of extraordinary ornate beauty) make Belfast compelling. The Causeway Coastal Route and Giant's Causeway are about 1 hour north.
