Northern Ireland has it all, sports, events, shopping, great days out, but one of the best things I like about this friendly and cultured province is the beautiful scenery...it’s so green and luscious.

Northern Ireland Entertainment

Spa Treatment At A Luxury Hotel In Northern Ireland What do you do when you are not sight-seeing?

You might want to try something different and out of the ordinary when you are away on holiday.

What about relaxing in a spa, fishing, taking in a round of golf or even just a leisurely stroll in a beautiful forest park?

Whatever your interests are, I’m sure that you'll find something exciting and fun to do while enjoying your stay.

Northern Ireland Accommodation

Slieve Donard Hotel Earlier, I mentioned a little about holidays.

A comprehensive list of places you can stay, whilst travelling in the 'six counties', can be found in my hotel guides for each county.

I have even included a special listing for Belfast Hotels, which you can see here.

They're packed full to the brim with hotels for every budget all sorted by star rating.

Whether you're interested in a short break or luxurious extended Northern Irish vacation, look no further. In fact, if you're thinking of extending your trip to visit the UK as well, cornwall holidays are very popular. I recommend relaxing for a few nights at the 5-star Retallack Resort and Spa.

Part of the fun of travel is staying in unusual accommodations. In Ireland you can find everything from local inns to timeshares in centuries-old castles and transformed country estates.

Northern Ireland Food and Drink

What else can I tell you in my Northern Ireland Travel Guide?

Well...probably one of the most important parts of any trip...the Food and Drink. After all, you've been out all day sight-seeing. You’ll need some refreshment.

Enjoy A Pint Of Guinness During Your Stay In Northern Ireland Some of the nicest places to have food here are local pubs and restaurants in the towns and cities you are visiting.

Hotels also offer a tasty selection of food too, especially if they are by the sea. You can taste all the local seafood and fine wine.

One of my favourite places to eat is the Causeway Hotel at the Giant’s Causeway, County Antrim. After an exhilarating walk around the causeway and taking in, the appetite building, fresh, sea air, you get a great meal here.

Wash it down with a cold pint of Guinness!

Northern Ireland Transport

Apart from the places to see, things to do, eating out, etc. I haven’t told you how you are going to be getting around these beautiful sites. My excellent transport guide presents many different ways to get around these top tourist attractions.

You can tour by bus, hire car, train or even walk. It’s up to you. Learn more about these various methods in the getting around guide. Incidentally, if you are hiring a car, make sure you have car insurance. Find the best provider of car hire excess cover for Irish Residents at 'Car Hire Insurance Ireland'

Last, but not least, is another important point to note when planning your trip to Northern Ireland. Don't forget to book your travel insurance. Don't let something trivial like losing your suitcase or baggage ruin your trip.

Take advantage of competitive prices and comprehensive cover from Ireland’s No.1 multi-trip holiday insurance provider before you travel. If you prefer to have insurance cover for the full year then get a quote for annual travel insurance.
