With all its valleys, rugged coastlines, beautiful castles and cities, there are so many amazing and best places in Northern Ireland to visit. Now, I might be a little bit biased (my grandparents are from Northern Ireland) but there’s just so many incredible places to explore. What’s more, it’s not just those physical landscapes and places that make Northern Ireland so special. It’s the people! Now, again, I know I’m probably biased but you’ll find some of the friendliest people here. Honestly, it makes travelling around the island such a treat. This is why I wanted to share a few of my favourite and best places in Northern Ireland you should think of visiting. Some of based in the cities, others a little further afield. Whatever the case, I’m almost certain you’ll find a few spots to add on your trip around the country. Take a look below at some of the best places in Nothern Ireland to visit. 1.) Explore Belfast Belfast is the capital city and one of the best places in Northern Ireland to visit for a city break. Once you’re here, visit the Titanic Belfast which has over nine galleries showcasing everything about the Titanic. Head to the HMS Caroline, the Belfast Cathedral, the Crumlin Road Gaol, and indulge in some amazing food at restaurants like Ox, James Street South, The Muddlers Club, and Howard Street. If you’ve got time, take a stroll to see Belfast City Hall and Belfast Castle, too. Finally, if you’re spending a few days in the city, pop out to see Stormont (a few miles from the city centre) that’s well worth seeing. 2.) Find the Glens of Antrim For one of the best places in Northern Ireland to experience for nature, make sure drive through the stunning Glens of Antrim. There are nine in total and each has its own charming and unique character that is incredible to explore. Once here, make sure to explore Glenariff with its rugged beauty and waterfalls is known as the “Queen of the Glens”. Visit the beaches of Glenarm, Ballygally, Cushendall, and Carnlough. Oh, and stop over at Slemish Mountain which is a beaut. If you’re here in August, visit Cushendall for the “Heart of the Glens” music festival that’s pretty fun, too. 3.) Visit Old Bushmills Distillery You can’t go to Northern Ireland and not try some Irish whiskey! Head to the oldest working distillery on the river banks in the quaint village of Bushmills. They have been handcrafting small batches of whiskey for over 400 years (yep, you read that correctly). The distillery is older than some countries! Pop over for a tour and a little taster too! Just make sure to have a designated driver with you. No one likes a drink-driver. 4.) Discover Dunluce Castle Around a 60-minutes drive from Belfast, Dunluce Castle is one of the best places in Northern Ireland to visit if you love castles. Perched right over from Portrush, it’s one beautiful castle that’s history goes back centuries. Now, don’t worry if you don’t drive, you can easily get here by taking the train to Portrush and hopping on a bus or taxi to the castle area itself. Oh, and if you are a Game of Thrones fan, you will probably recognize Dunluce Castle as the House of Greyjoy Castle? 5.) Hike the Cliffs of Magho & Lower Lough Erne Perched on the opposite end of Northern Ireland (from Belfast), the Cliffs of Magho and Lower Lough Erne is one of the best places in Northern Ireland for views across the countryside. Once here, make sure to explore go on a forest drive through the area or head out on foot on a cliff walk. The whole area is stunning and it’s just so peaceful. 6.) Explore Derry Derry (also called Londonderry) may not be as popular as Belfast but add it to your list for its history, architecture, stunning skyline, and hip festivals. It really is one of the best places in Northern Ireland to visit if you want an authentic slice of Northern Irish life. Once you’re here, check out the 17th Century walls, the 12 Bogside Murals on Rossville St., the Guildhall, the Tower Museum, the Museum of Free Derry, and The Peace Bridge which is easily the most beautiful bridge in Northern Ireland. Oh, and don’t forget to pop into  Brown bonds Hill that makes some of the best grub in Derry. 7.) Walk Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge Cross Northern Ireland’s most famous rope bridge, the Carrick-a-Rede which is close to Ballintoy in County Antrim. It connects the mainland to the small island of Carrickarede and is 20 metres wide and 30 metres above the rocks (enough to make you gulp). Apparently, there have been bridges crossing to the island for centuries, way back when local fisherman used to look for salmon nearby. Open all year round (as long as weather permits). Plus, if you’re interested in volcanoes, Carrickarede island is said to be one of the very best volcanic plugs in all the country. 8.) See Giant’s Causeway For me, visiting a new place is always about finding something unique to the area. And you know what, that’s what Giant’s Causeway is for Northern Ireland. With over 40,000 columns, this UNESCO World Heritage Site formed millions of years ago from some sort of volcanic eruption. I’m not going to even attempt to describe how… my geology is patchy at best. That being said, I do know about the legend of the giants (in Ireland and Scotland) that were challenged to fight. In order for this duel to take place, the giants created a causeway over the ocean (to Scotland)… so the legend goes. Still, to this day, you can see similar columns at Fingal’s Cave in Scotland. Apparently, it’s part of the same lava flow… though, the Giants will tell you different! Oh, and remember, it’s free to visit Giant’s Causeway but you […]
