2-Day Excursion by Train to Northern Ireland: Tour of Belfast and Game of Thrones filming locations – Departing from Dublin

Set off to explore Belfast and the locations used to film Game of Thrones in Northern Ireland on a 2-day excursion by train!

Day 1

You will get on the train in Dublin and head towards Belfast. Take in the panoramas of the Irish countryside that pass before your eyes as you travel up the country. 

Upon arrival in Belfast, your guide will give you a pass for the hop-on hop-off bus tour of Belfast and a ticket for the city’s main attraction: the Titanic Belfast Experience. 

You can get on and off the bus as much as you like as you explore the Northern Irish capital. 

You will spend the night in a 4* hotel.

Day 2

Enjoy a traditional Northern Irish breakfast (an Ulster Fry) before setting off on a Game of Thrones trail. 

You will first go to Cushendun, where you will discover the caves where Melisandre of Asshai practises her black magic in season 2. 

Then, continue your route to Ballycastle, used to portray the Free Cities, where Lord Varys, the Spider, was born. You will also see the Kingsroad, which Arya took as she escaped from King’s Landing. 

For lunch (not included in price), you will stop off at Ballintoy Harbour, where several scenes were filmed. In the local pub, you might even hear the locals talking about the actors from the series who pass by regularly.

You will then go back to Belfast to get the train back to Dublin in the evening.
