Game of Thrones Film Locations and Giants Causeway Tour with Optional Hop-on Hop-off Ticket

Two of the top reasons that visitors come to Belfast are the Giant’s Causeway and the local Game of Thrones filming locations, so what could be better than getting to visit the two in one day? And by adding a 1-day Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Ticket, you’ll be able to enjoy the ultimate Belfast experience.

The tour starts by heading north along the spectacular Antrim coast to the picturesque fishing villages of Carnlough and Cushendall, which sit on the beautiful Antrim coast. Carnlough appears as Braavos in Game of Thrones and Cushendall is full of local history. Your English-speaking guide will make both places come to life with fascinating stories.

Then, it’s on to the eerie and atmospheric Dark Hedges, made famous in the series as The King’s Road. You’ll stop to appreciate this amazing natural wonder and take some photos before heading on to the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge. Though the bridge is temporarily closed, you’ll still be amazed that anyone dares cross it and by the spectacular surrounding scenery.

The last stop on the tour is maybe the best of all. The Giant’s Causeway is an unbelievable natural wonder, formed by some 40 thousand interlocking basalt columns or, as legend has it, built by an Irish giant so he could cross the sea to Scotland to fight a rival there. Whatever the truth, the Causeway is a breathtaking sight.

Add a 24-hour Hop-On Hop-Off Ticket to your tour and you’ll also get to explore Belfast itself, from the murals of the Shankhill Road and Crumlin Road Gaol to Stormont and the Titanic Dock. There is just so much to see in this vibrant city.
