Dublin, Belfast and the Causeway Coast in 5 days, without a car

Two capitals, two currencies, one train. You don't need a car for this one 🚆 Belfast is the better base of the two, and I'll argue that with anyone. 📍 Dublin, 2 nights. Small enough to walk end to end 🚆 Dublin to Belfast on the Enterprise: about 2 h 10, hourly Monday to Saturday, 8 trains on Sundays 📍 Belfast, 2 nights. The Titanic museum is £24.95 online, £26.95 at the door 🚌 The coast day: the Giant's Causeway, Carrick-a-Rede and the Dark Hedges The Causeway stones are free to walk. You only pay for the visitor centre (from £16) or the parking. Carrick-a-Rede's rope bridge needs a booked slot for everyone, members too, and it closes in high wind. Cars have been banned on the Dark Hedges road since 2017, so everyone walks it. The bus gets you to the Causeway: the 221 from Belfast, or the train to Coleraine and the 172. Check Translink for the day you go. For all three coast stops in one day, a day tour is the honest answer. Enterprise fares from Belfast start at £14.99 online, and online sales close 80 minutes before departure. Euro in Dublin, pounds in Belfast. 👉 Swipe for the route and what to book. Save this for your trip and send it to who you'd go with.
