With the great global visitor attraction of Titanic Belfast as its centrepiece, the history and back story of a city that was once a shipbuilding and industrial powerhouse is revealed around every corner of Belfast’s iconic waterfront.
The Maritime Mile is an exceptional walk affording fresh sea air, loads of space and amazing views. You can walk, cycle and take self-guided or private tours of the sights and sounds in a few hours, or linger longer to experience first-class accommodation, excellent eateries and range of other top-class attractions.
From the historic Clarendon Docks and Sailortown area to the original Titanic Slipways, plus exhibitions, historic buildings and modern art sculptures, there are endless opportunities to delve into authentic Belfast stories.
On a Maritime Mile walk make sure to go aboard Titanic’s little sister, SS Nomadic, and the last remaining floating survivor of the Battle of Jutland in WW I, HMS Caroline.
Other must-sees include the exceptionally rare Great Light, one of the largest optics of its kind ever built in the world, and the vast Thompson Dry Dock, the ‘footprint’ of the Titanic and the place she last sat on dry land.
Cap it all off with a visit to the shimmering Titanic Belfast, the biggest and best experience of the most famous ship in the world.
