County Antrim is one of the six counties of Northern Ireland, in the United Kingdom. It is a place of coastline, countryside and city, and it makes a varied destination for a visitor deciding where to spend time in the region.
What draws visitors
- The Giant's Causeway, a UNESCO World Heritage site on the north coast, is the county's best-known landmark.
- Belfast, the regional capital, lies within the county and offers city life, museums and places to eat and stay.
Planning a visit
Many people combine the two: spend time in Belfast, then travel to the north coast to see the causeway. Because the county spans both urban and rural landscapes, it suits those who want a city stay as well as time outdoors. The facts available here do not set out opening times, prices or transport details, so it is worth checking these directly before setting out.
County Antrim gives a visitor a clear sense of Northern Ireland's range, from the capital to one of its most striking natural sites.
