Description
Discover the Titanic Quarter on a guided walking tour. Learn about the history of Belfast's maritime industry and see the Titanic Museum, the Titanic Hotel, and the last White Star Line vessel.
Explore the Titanic Quarter on a guided walking tour of the area. Learn about the area's rich maritime history and how it has been transformed from the graveyard of the shipyards into a major tourist attraction.
Start your tour at one of Belfast's new visitor attractions, the Big Fish, and follow along a stunning scenic route around the River Lagan known as the 'Maritime Mile'. See attractions such as the Lagan Weir bridge, SSE Arena, the RMS Nomadic, the last surviving White Star Line vessel, Titanic Museum, and Titanic Hotel, the building which was once the nerve center of the shipyard.
Hear stories about the Titanic's construction and of the men who designed and built her while enjoying a Titanic whiskey (ICE not recommended) at Titanic Distillers. The Titanic distillery is located on the site of the Thompson Dock and Pumphouse, where the fated ocean liner was built in the early 20th century.
Inspired by the people who worked in Belfast’s shipyard more than a century ago, walk in their footsteps in the very pump-house and dry dock that represent such an authentic part of the Titanic story and indeed the history of Belfast. Visitors to the Pumphouse will clock in, as workers did a century ago, to view the workings of the distillery and hear the story of Belfast’s whiskey tradition, why it disappeared, and how it has returned with the city’s first working whiskey distillery in almost 90 years.
