Visiting Belfast

Belfast was named the best place to visit in 2018 by Lonely Planet.  The city is the birthplace of the Titanic while Northern Ireland is also well-known for the Giant’s Causeway (a UNESCO World Heritage site) and for being the location for numerous films and TV series, including Game of Thrones.

Our £29 each way Express from Glasgow to Belfast is the ideal way for backpackers and independent travellers visiting Scotland to make the quick trip across the water to visit Northern Ireland.
