Visiting Belfast? Follow in the footsteps of the Titanic, and discover its mysteries by visiting the Belfast Titanic Trail, an audio-guided tour devoted entirely to the history of Belfast’s shipyards, and in particular the presumed unsinkable liner that sank in April 1912… It’s a wonderful tour that will plunge you right into the heart of the 1900s!
Equipped with a portable player and a sophisticated GPS, you’ll be invited to explore Belfast, to discover all the great places linked to the story of the Titanic…
From the Harland and Wolff shipyard to the launch site, you can learn all about the history of the famous liner, using your handheld device. You’ll find audio sequences, videos, reconstructions, texts and photos throughout your visit!
You’ll learn all about the Titanic’s creators, its gigantic construction, its cutting-edge technological innovations, the infatuation it aroused in society… right up to its tragic collision with an iceberg in the Atlantic Ocean, killing a total of over 1,500 people…
The tour is rather fun, and you can take it at your own pace (you can interrupt it for a lunch break, for example, and then resume it at any time). The tour is well-documented, informative and, of course, in French!
In short, a guided tour without a guide, with all the advantages but none of the drawbacks!
And if you feel you’ve had too little, you can always continue on to the “Titanic Belfast Experience”, THE Belfast museum that’s gone all out! A must-do too!
