BELFAST 46ºF - 50ºF
Start of our tour. Arrival at Hillsborough Castle at approximately 11:00 am. Official residence of the government in Northern Ireland, it was built in the 18th century for the Marquesses of Downshire, and was in their hands until 1922, the year in which it passed to British government. It is not a castle, but a Georgian house, with typical royal family facilities. Also noteworthy are its colorful surroundings, with its fantastic combination of forests, wild meadows and somewhat more formal ornamental gardens. After the visit, at 1:00 p.m., arriving in Belfast, we will have time for lunch (not included) at the Grannie Annies restaurant. Later, around 2:30 p.m., we visit the Titanic Museum, inaugurated in 2012 in the same place where the Harland & Wolff shipyard was located, where the famous ship was built. Inside it houses the most complete exhibition on the Titanic and its shipwreck in the world (entrance included). Transfer to the hotel and time to get to know the city. Accommodation.
BELFAST 46ºF - 50ºF - CUSHENDUN - BALLYCASTLE 50ºF - 50ºF - GIANTS CAUSEWAY - DERRY 50ºF - 50ºF
Day of spectacular visits. We cross the village of Cashendun. It is a village declared a conservation area in 1980, due to its architectural history and its location within the Antrim Coast and Glens Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. At noon, we will have time for lunch in Ballycastle, a lively coastal town where its gastronomy and folklore stand out. After lunch (not included), we will visit the spectacular Giant´s Causeway, a unique place of basalt columns that jut into the Atlantic Ocean. It is an epic view of some 40,000 stones in the shape of hexagonal steps that date back almost 60 million years and belong to a time of volcanic activity (entrance included and time for visit – comfortable shoes and warm clothing are recommended). Arrival in Derry, a walled city that mixes history and modernity. Time to walk and accommodation.
DERRY 50ºF - 50ºF - MONEA - MARBLE ARCH - BELFAST 46ºF - 50ºF
Today we will have our last day of “getaway through Northern Ireland”. Time to walk and photograph the surroundings of Monea Castle, whose origin dates back to the beginning of the 17th century and which today is in ruins located in a unique location. Stop for lunch (not included) and before arriving in Belfast, we visited the spectacular Marble Arch caves: one of the most impressive cave systems in Europe. Formed more than 330 million years ago, they reach more than 11 km in length and are constantly evolving, as groundwater continues to erode the limestone to form a strange and fantastic world. After the visit we continued to Belfast. Arrival and check in at the hotel. At night, we will enjoy a “Celtic Night” as a farewell, which includes a traditional dinner show and traditional Celtic dance. Return to the hotel and accommodation.
