The Titanic Belfast is a large complex, with the appearance of a gleaming iceberg rising above the skyline near the River Lagan.

Slipways where the Titanic and another ship, the Olympic, were built surround the site. Stroll along the Titanic Memorial Garden and note the timber decking that honors the more than 1,500 passengers and crew members who died. See the list of names of victims on vertical glass panels. Trace the LED sketch that shows the true size of the enormous vessel.

Peruse clothing, souvenirs and memorabilia in the site’s gift shop. Plan a wedding or business conference at the impressive site. Understand the complete history of the sunken vessel at the Titanic Exhibition Centre, Titanic’s Dock and Pump-House and the Titanic Walking Tours.

Self-guided tour. Can be hard to concentrate as numerous audio and video displays are playing simultaneously, making it tough to focus on just one or to read the presentations and explanations. I very good collection, just chaotic in its presentation, especially if crowded. The external displays of the footprint of the ship, as well as the adjacent Titanic Hotel that houses even more free history are definitely worth checking out.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

It is a classical tourist trap.

5/5 - Excellent

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Go on Sunday and have tea in the recreated Titanic room! Also plan for minimum 3 hours at the museum - it's done extremely well!

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Although the Titantic is a big part of what is presented, you learn quite a bit more about Belfast and the industries that have been important to its growth and in some cases, decline.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Awesome! This was a great place to visit. Buy your tickets online and avoid the lines. Get there early too because there are a lot of people coming on buses to visit later on in the morning.
