Belfast is a hub for train travel with its three main stations at Great Victoria Street, Yorkgate and Lanyon Place. Explore the city and its suburbs slowly and sustainably, heading to the likes of Helen’s Bay and Crawfordsburn Country Park or, just an hour from the capital by train, out to the striking Norman site of Carrickfergus Castle on Belfast Lough’s Northern Shore. Both trains and buses can be booked on Northern Ireland’s public transport portal and app, Translink.
