Every city has a story to tell, but few can lay claim to one as recognised around the world as Belfast. Long before RMS Titanic became synonymous with maritime tragedy, she was an extraordinary feat of engineering, conceived and constructed in the city’s shipyards. To understand that story in full, you need to return to where it began. Set in the heart of the city’s Titanic Quarter, Titanic Belfast occupies the very place where the famous liner was designed, built and launched. This award-winning visitor attraction makes a compelling centrepiece for a Belfast city break, taking travellers from the industrial bustle of the shipyards to the glamour of an ocean crossing and, ultimately, one of history’s most famous voyages.
