The Giant's Causeway is Northern Ireland's most famous natural landmark, and the country has some of the most spectacular beaches in Europe. Northern Ireland is the second most sparsely populated part of the UK. Within a couple of hours of Belfast, the capital city, visitors can walk the Mountains of Mourne, fish in Fermanagh or visit the many picturesque villages that abound.

In the South you’ll find striking hills, immaculate beaches, pretty towns and villages. The country also offers lively arts and music and fascinating ancient treasures, including medieval abbeys.
