Titanic Quarter

The Titanic Quarter, which corresponds to the Belfast docks, leads us in the footsteps of the famous Titanic with its dedicated museum.

A grand tribute to the tragic history of the Titanic, the museum shaped like a ship's bow known as the Titanic Experience has become one of Belfast's iconic buildings. Opened in 2012 for the centennial of the sinking, it traces the Titanic's story from its construction to its tragic end. The museum also showcases Belfast's industrial heritage and its shipyards. The museum is highly interactive and ideal for visiting with children.

After visiting the Titanic Experience, we can continue with the discovery of the SS Nomadic, affectionately nicknamed the « Titanic's little brother ».

Murals

A powerful witness to Northern Irlande's history and a significant propaganda tool during the Troubles, these murals tell us the story of the struggle between Protestants supportive of the United Kingdom and Catholics favoring a Republic of Irlande. Now symbols of Northern Irlande, there are no fewer than 2,000 scattered across the country. Belfast boasts the highest concentration of murals, making it a must-see discovery.
