If you don’t mind cooler, wetter weather, then there’s no bad time to visit Northern Ireland. In winter, you can watch the waves crashing against the rocks from cosy seaside pubs, while in summertime, you can explore the beaches, hike through the countryside and climb Belfast’s famous Cave Hill. 

In Northern Ireland you’ll find a wide range of hotels, restaurants and attractions to match every budget. While prices are generally higher in Belfast, stick to spots away from the main tourist area around Great Victoria Street to get greater value for your money. Elsewhere, you can eat, drink and dine for much less. Stay in a family-run guesthouse on the coast to save money for your seaside fund. 

It’s free to visit Belfast’s Ulster Museum, while in Derry/Londonderry you can get a feel for the city by walking the 17th-century city walls and visiting the impressive and free-to-enter St Columb’s Cathedral. 

Once you land at Belfast City Airport you have a few options for getting around. There are plenty of taxis waiting outside the terminal for the 15-minute journey into Belfast city centre. For travelling further afield, there are bus and coach services which you can book in advance. There’s also a train service between Belfast city centre and regional towns, or across the border to Dublin. 

You can also hire a car with British Airways if you want to see more of what Northern Ireland has to offer. You’ll receive great benefits, with all mandatory charges included and 24-hour customer support, plus you’ll collect Avios points on every rental.

This corner of the United Kingdom has a unique culture that’s shaped by centuries of tradition, its political history and a vibrant arts scene. You can brush up on Northern Ireland’s heritage and local folklore at the fascinating Ulster Folk Museum, just outside of Belfast. Or visit one of the many castles and ancient ruins for a glimpse at the past, such as the imposing Dunluce Castle, a short drive from the Giant’s Causeway.

Northern Ireland has also more recently become a hub for entertainment and culture, thanks to the Titanic Studios – one of Europe’s largest film studios and the set for the popular series Game of Thrones. If you’re a fan of the series you can visit some of the outdoor locations, like The Dark Hedges and the Cushendun Caves in County Antrim, or head out on an organised tour.
