What to expect?

Ah, Northern Ireland… A British province often wrongly overlooked in favor of the Republic of Ireland. And that’s a shame! The province of Northern Ireland is rich in exceptional sites! Dolmens, castles, enchanting coastal landscapes, cliffs, lakes, mountains… not to mention unforgettable cities like Belfast, Derry and Bushmills! Towns on a human scale, festive, dynamic, where there’s always something to do!
Believe us, to miss Northern Ireland is to miss one of the best regions on the island of Ireland!

Welcome to Northern Ireland, a province of the United Kingdom, governed by the British Crown. Northern Ireland is a little Ireland unto itself. The only difference is that it uses the pound sterling, and has a slightly more turbulent history than the Republic of Ireland.

Whether you like wide open spaces or cities steeped in history, Northern Ireland is a fantastic destination! We love its rugged beauty, the hospitality of its people, its Irish pubs, restaurants, museums and countless tourist activities!

Among its most famous sites are the coastal road along the north coast, Dunluce Castle, the Mourne Mountains and the famous Giant’s Causeway, a grandiose and mysterious geological site by the sea! One of the most beautiful in the country!

This magnificent province has so many facets that it’s a pleasure to discover them all! Now a very safe region since the Good Friday Accords, we recommend exploring the rugged north coast, where cliffs and beaches follow one another in deep shades of blue and green. And let’s not forget the Mourne Mountains, or a city like Belfast, a city in the midst of a revival, which, despite a difficult history, has managed to bounce back and become a dynamic, friendly city!

Forget the years of Troubles when the Northern Irish conflict was on everyone’s lips: Northern Ireland is in the midst of a revival, and continues to improve in its efforts to make its Catholic and Protestant, loyalist and republican communities co-exist.

Among the things to know, don’t forget that Northern Ireland is still a British province, directly affected by the Brexit. Also, the pound sterling is the official currency, unlike in the Republic of Ireland, where the Euro is exchanged on a daily basis. Exchange rates vary regularly, especially with the Brexit, so don’t hesitate to find out a little in advance to make your change!
