Douglas/Isle of Man/England/Great Britain , 8.00 – 18.00 hrs
Douglas/Isle of Man
Reminiscent of the Mediterranean: take a relaxed stroll along the expansive seafront of Douglas. Ride in a steam train to one of the best-preserved medieval castles in Europe: Rushen Castle*. A British national sanctuary awaits you in Laxey*: Europe’s largest waterwheel, which even appears on the £ 20 note.
Belfast/Northern Ireland/Great Britain, 8.00 – 0.00 hrs
Belfast
The capital of Northern Ireland is brimming with energy. Such as on the Golden Mile, the famous stretch with bars, restaurants and night clubs. Or in the area around St Anne’s Cathedral, once popular with seafarers and now a bustling art and media district. The Titanic Belfast* experience centre is also worth a visit. Not far from Belfast, the 60-million year old Giant’s Causeway*; a rock formation consisting of around 40,000 basalt columns which stretches along the coast – a spectacular UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site.
OUR TIP:
Cheers!
Opened in 1849, you will immediately feel like you have been transported back to the 19th century. Pubs in Belfast do not get more atmospheric than the Crown Liquor Saloon.
