Titanic Belfast

Belfast's most visited attraction tells the story of RMS Titanic through nine interactive galleries. The museum sits on the exact slipway where the ship was built in 1912. Exhibits include full-scale reconstructions of the ship's cabins and a ride through the shipyard. It ranks among Belfast's most visited sights, and for good reason - most itineraries include it on day one. Tickets cost £21 adult, £10.50 child, under 5s free and 2-3 hours is enough to see everything without rushing.

The world's largest Titanic exhibition in the city where the ship was born. That puts it near the top of any Belfast visit, and it deserves the spot. Combine it with Odyssey Complex - they are close enough to walk between and together make the strongest half-day in Belfast. Mornings are quieter if you want to take your time.
