In Belfast, you’ll have the unique option to choose between two very different and unforgettable experiences, each offering deep insight into the city’s history and culture.

Through interactive exhibits, impressive displays, and multimedia presentations, you’ll learn about the engineering marvel, the people behind it, and the impact the Titanic had on the city and the world.

Alternatively, you can choose the Black Taxi Political Tour, a personal and engaging experience that takes you through Belfast’s complex and often troubled recent history. Driven by local guides who lived through the Troubles, these tours offer firsthand stories as you explore the city’s political murals, peace walls, and key neighborhoods. It’s an eye-opening journey into the challenges Belfast has overcome and the ongoing peace process that continues to shape Northern Ireland today.

The total stop in Belfast lasts approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes, including bathroom and snack breaks at both the start and end of your visit to ensure you stay comfortable and refreshed. Whether you choose the maritime history of the Titanic or the powerful stories behind Belfast’s political landscape, this stop provides a meaningful glimpse into the city’s past and present, perfectly setting the stage for the rest of your Northern Ireland adventure.
