A striking museum on the site of the shipyard where the Titanic was built, telling the story of the ship from its construction in Belfast to its sinking in 1912, and the discovery of the wreck. A ride takes you through a recreation of the shipyard.


Allow two to three hours; book tickets online. Next door, you can board the SS Nomadic, the Titanic's tender ship, and walk on the slipways where the Titanic was launched. Belfast's Crumlin Road Gaol and political murals are also worth seeing.
