Located in the Titanic Quarter, this architectural masterpiece stands on the very site where the Titanic was built. The museum features nine interactive galleries, showcasing everything from the ship’s construction to its tragic sinking.
Visitors can step back in time, exploring replicas of the ship’s cabins and immersing themselves in a 3D experience of the Titanic’s final moments. The interactive exhibits make it a must-visit attraction for history lovers.

Belfast has a rich and complex history that is best explored through its historical sites and memorials.
For those interested in history, a visit to Crumlin Road Gaol offers a fascinating yet eerie glimpse into Belfast’s past. This 19th century prison housed political prisoners and notorious criminals, and today, it offers guided tours that dive deep into its history.
