Belfast is Northern Ireland’s capital. It was the birthplace of the RMS Titanic, which famously struck an iceberg and sunk in 1912. This legacy is recalled in the renovated dockyards’ Titanic Quarter, which includes the Titanic Belfast, an aluminium-clad museum reminiscent of a ship’s hull, as well as shipbuilder Harland & Wolff’s Drawing Offices and the Titanic Slipways, which now host open-air concerts.

The large and colorful murals on the Falls and Shankill roads document the complex history of the city’s Catholic and Protestant populations. This history is detailed at the Ulster Museum, within the city’s Botanic Gardens.

Founded over 1,000 years ago, the City of Cork was built off of Ireland’s South West Coast. It is home to over 120,000 people, and is considered the 2nd largest city in Ireland. This vibrant city life was built on an island in the River Lee, which resulted in the construction of many beautiful bridge pathways for its citizens. The Harbor itself is a sight to see, being known as the second largest harbor in the entire world.  Because of this, the city holds true to their motto: Statio Bene Fide Carinis, which means “A Safe Harbor for Ships.”

Enjoy sightseeing adventures such as the wildlife preserve and arboretum, the whale and dolphin watching off of the harbor, and architectures that are as old as the city itself. The city’s lifestyle, from busy markets to relaxing parks, historic monuments to memorable sights, are one of the many reasons to visit Cork.
