2-Day Best of Belfast Itinerary, Belfast, Ireland
Are you ready to embrace some bits of Northern Ireland history? This 2-day Belfast itinerary can surely bring you straight into it! From the making of the largest ship of that time, Titanic, to the decades of conflicts in the Troubles, there is evidently lots waiting for your discovery.
I highly recommend that you combine this itinerary with the 3-Day Causeway Coast Itinerary to complete your Northern Ireland tour.
Before diving in, if you’d like an overview of Northern Ireland and tips on budget, safety and food, refer to my Northern Ireland Travel Guide. Otherwise, let’s get your Belfast itinerary started!
As I have noted in my Northern Ireland Travel Guide, Belfast is so small and compact that you can easily walk between sights. For this reason, you can easily move the activities of your Belfast itinerary around to fit your schedule. However, the Titanic Quarters and Crumlin Road Gaol are on opposite ends of the city so if you choose to do them on the same day it will be an hour walk. Nevertheless, you always have the option of taking the bus.
