Titanic Belfast

Titanic Belfast is an award-winning visitor attraction located in the heart of Belfast’s Titanic Quarter. This iconic landmark tells the story of the RMS Titanic, from her conception in the early 1900s, through her construction at the Harland & Wolff shipyard, to her ill-fated maiden voyage in 1912. Housed in a striking, contemporary building whose design echoes the shape of ship hulls, Titanic Belfast offers an immersive experience for history buffs and curious travelers alike.

Dramatic displays, special effects, and full-scale reconstructions make for an unforgettable journey back in time.

Located on the very slipways where Titanic was built, the attraction also offers panoramic views of Belfast’s harbor, where you can see other notable sites like the SS Nomadic, Titanic’s original tender ship. Whether you’re a maritime enthusiast or simply looking to explore Northern Ireland’s rich cultural heritage, Titanic Belfast promises an engaging and poignant experience.
