Landing at Dublin Airport and heading north to Belfast? This private transfer covers the full journey to any area of Belfast - not just the city centre. You can pick a vehicle size to match your group, with a maximum capacity of 8 passengers and up to 8 pieces of luggage.
It’s a comfortable, direct way to cross the border without the hassle of shared shuttles or working out trains with heavy bags. Your driver meets you at arrivals, you load up, and you’re on your way - roughly two hours to wherever you’re staying in Belfast.
Meeting your driver:
At Terminal 1, your driver will meet you at the Insomnia Coffee Shop in arrivals.
At Terminal 2, look for your driver in the arrivals area by the yellow sculpture.
Belfast is a city that rewards curiosity. The obvious draws are the Titanic Quarter - where the RMS Titanic was designed, built, and launched - and the Titanic Belfast museum, which tells the full story with impressive detail. But the city has a lot more going on: the Victorian Crown Bar on Great Victoria Street is a National Trust-listed pub with original gas lighting and ornate snug boxes, and the Cathedral Quarter has a thriving arts and food scene that keeps changing.
The Black Taxi Tours are worth doing. If it’s your first visit to Belfast, a Black Taxi Tour of the murals in the Falls and Shankill Roads is one of the most genuinely illuminating things you can do. The drivers are local, the commentary is personal and usually candid, and you get context for the city’s recent history that a walking tour or museum exhibit can’t quite replicate.
Currency changes at the border. Northern Ireland uses sterling (GBP), not euros, so it’s worth having some pounds on you or being ready to use your card. Most places accept cards without issue, but smaller cafes and market traders can be cash-only. The crossing itself is seamless and unmarked - you won’t even notice it on the road - but the practical differences kick in immediately once you’re in the North.
Give yourself a day or two if you can. Belfast is very doable as a base for day trips. The Causeway Coast - with the Giant’s Causeway, Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, and Dunluce Castle - is under two hours by car. The Mourne Mountains in Co. Down are about an hour south. If you’ve arrived with a few days to explore, the city punches well above its size.
