Discover 11-14 day Northern Ireland trips
Blend Belfast city sights with coast scenery on a well-paced Northern Ireland itinerary.
Northern Ireland is a strong fit for an 11-14 day trip, balancing lively city life with sweeping coastal scenery and enough time to slow down between headline sights. Many group trips connect Belfast with the north coast in a logical loop, which keeps the route clear and reduces the planning you need to do upfront. Expect a blend of guided touring and independent time, with straightforward walks to viewpoints, local neighbourhoods and places to eat. Some itineraries also continue into Ireland, Scotland, France and the United Kingdom, yet Northern Ireland still stands out for bold shorelines, layered history and a notably warm welcome.
