Your chauffeur comes to you at your Dublin location, helps with the luggage, and drives you north to Belfast in a comfortable, air-conditioned Mercedes Benz E220. The journey takes about two hours. You cross the border into Northern Ireland somewhere around Newry - there’s no checkpoint to stop at, just a change in road signs from kilometres to miles - and you’re in Belfast before long.
For the return journey, you book the same transfer and give them your pick-up time, pick-up location, and drop-off point when you do. The vehicle is entirely private throughout.
Belfast is a city that’s changed considerably since the 1990s. The Cathedral Quarter around Hill Street has a strong food and arts scene, the Titanic Quarter on the old shipyard is where the RMS Titanic was built and launched in 1911, and the Victorian architecture along the main streets is a reminder that this was once one of the wealthiest industrial cities in the British Isles. The Black Taxi tours of the murals in the Falls and Shankill areas are run by locals from both communities and are worth doing if you have the time.
Bear in mind you’re crossing into a different currency zone. Northern Ireland uses sterling (GBP), not euros. Most places in Belfast accept cards, but having a small amount of sterling is useful for taxis, markets, and smaller shops. Your driver’s fees are settled in full when you book, so there’s nothing to sort at the border itself.
The Giant’s Causeway is about 90 minutes north of Belfast. If you’re planning to explore the north coast as well as the city, this transfer gets you to Belfast in good time to either add a day trip or base yourself there for the Causeway Coast. Your driver may be able to advise on the best routing.
Titanic Belfast opens at 9am most days. It’s the most visited attraction in Northern Ireland and gets busy by mid-morning, especially in summer. Booking entry tickets in advance is straightforward online and saves you queuing on arrival.
Belfast city centre is compact and walkable. Victoria Square, the Cathedral Quarter, and the Custom House Square are all within comfortable walking distance of each other. The bus network is good for reaching the Titanic Quarter, which is about a mile and a half from the city centre.
