Your trip can start in Belfast, capital of Northern Ireland, which has numerous attractions and activities for all ages. For example, the iconic Titanic Museum, the beautiful City Hall that offers free tours throughout the day, the historic Queen's University and the Ulster Museum which is located in the Belfast Botanical Gardens and has several exhibits.
One of the postcards of Northern Ireland is the Giant's Causeway in English, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
