Loganair flights to Belfast City

Belfast is the capital of Northern Ireland, one of Scotland’s sister Celtic nations. The vivacious city is known today for its wealth of historical sites, proud industrial heritage, cosy pub culture and gorgeous natural setting. The stunning surrounding landscapes could have inspired author C.S. Lewis to write The Chronicles of Narnia. Several locations also feature in the popular TV series, Game of Thrones. The RMS Titanic was built here, and the city is home to Ireland’s tallest building, Obel Tower.

Giant’s Causeway

Located approximately 60 miles north of Belfast, in County Antrim, the striking landscape of the UNESCO-listed Giant’s Causeway makes it a popular trip. The area consists of around 40,000 interlocking basalt columns resulting from an ancient volcanic fissure eruption. The hexagonal columns are washed by the swirling ocean waters and are associated with local legends and myths. As you step across the columns and follow clifftop paths, you will see the famous landmarks, the Giant’s Boot, Camel’s Back and Wishing Chair. To reach the causeway, catch a train to Coleraine, followed by a local bus. Arrive there easily when you take advantage of Loganair’s flight deals to Belfast.
