Flights to Belfast

Situated on the Eastern Coast of Northern Ireland, Belfast, with its intriguing yet troubled history, has grown to become one of the most popular tourist destinations in the UK. Occupied since the Bronze Age, the city is perhaps better known for its more recent history and the years of sectarian conflict, known as The Troubles, and occupation by British Troops. Peace in the region has, for the most part, prevailed since the signing of the Good Friday Agreement in 1998.

Today, the city boasts a myriad of attractions for visitors, many of which are free of charge. Visit the famous murals daubed on the walls of the Shankhill and Falls Road -- a depiction of the region's violent, separatist past and the years of ongoing conflict between Republican and Unionist factions. The Titanic Museum, on the other hand, has become a firm favourite with tourists. This outstanding monument bears testament to the city's maritime heritage and is also built on the former site of the Harland and Wolff Shipyard where the Titanic was built. The 12th of July is a very important event for the Orange Order, who parade the streets and build giant bonfires to celebrate King William's victory at the Battle of the Boyne.

Belfast is an exciting and fascinating city with so much to offer the first, or even third time visitor. There are many flights to Belfast as well, making it an easy place to visit; and with great pubs and friendly locals, here is a chance to seek out the real Belfast.

Belfast International Airport is where you will land in Northern Ireland. Belfast city centre is 18 miles to the southeast. Some flights to Belfast land at Belfast City Airport, which is just four miles from the centre.
