Discover Belfast's fascinating history on a half-day adventure that begins with a panoramic motorcoach tour through its vibrant city center to take in all the top sights and attractions introducing you to the many varied features of Northern Ireland's largest city, its industry and elegance, its rich and varied heritage, and 19th-century buildings that are a reminder of its prosperous past. Then, you'll leave the city for the short ride to Hillsborough Castle. Built in the 1770s, the mansion is the official residence of the British royal family when they're visiting Northern Ireland. Set on 96 acres, the grounds boast woodlands, waterways, and gardens that feature rare plants. A guided tour through this distinguished two-story Georgian mansion includes many of the formal and personal rooms. At the conclusion of the tour, feel free to meander through the lovely gardens before rejoining your motorcoach for the ride back to your ship.
