What's this trip about?

    Travel to Northern Ireland and spend time exploring the spectacular cities of Belfast, Londonderry, Donegal and Cavan, as well as Ireland's capital city of Dublin! You'll start in Northern Ireland's capital city of Belfast, birthplace of the Titanic. The unspoiled energy of the city can be felt in the pubs, on the streets and in the shops - you'll experience a truly warm Irish welcome at every corner. Next you'll continue on to Londonderry, colloquially known as Derry. This city is overflowing with history, from the famous walls that surround the city to the Guildhall, which houses one of Ireland's largest collections of stained glass. Before moving on, be sure to shop the homemade wares at the city's popular Craft Village! You'll then spend two nights in Donegal, an ideal starting point on the popular coastal tourist route, the Wild Atlantic Way. You'll hear lots of Gaelic in this part of the country, as you make your way through the vibrant cities and diverse terrains. Your adventure comes to an end in Cavan or Meath, in accommodations as breathtaking as the surrounding countryside. Pay a visit to the nearby medieval town of Carlingford or to nearby Newgrange, a prehistoric monument dating over 5,000 years old!
