Are you heading to Northern Ireland? Well, you have to come to the right place. In this article, we have listed the top things you can do while in this country.

  •         Visit the Giant’s Causeway and many attractions nearby. A luxury coach tour can help reach this golden place from Belfast.

  •         Experience a titanic visit and learn more about its history by visiting the Belfast Titanic Experience. It is yet the largest exhibit in Ireland and probably throughout the world that is dedicated to the Titanic. Beside the structure you can take a journey to nice awesome galleries.
  •         Have you ever heard of a silent disco? If not, then you should book a silent disco tour.

  •         Explore the Crumlin Road Gaol and see for yourself the jails, cells, and execution chamber. This is probably the weirdest tour you can experience in Ireland. The site can be creepy for first timers but history lovers would be able to appreciate the silver lining behind this seemingly dark place.  There is always something we can learn about the plight of other people and history of foreign countries. The tour can simply take around 70 minutes to complete.
