If you are travelling light, you can even park a bicycle securely at the airport.

If you have a little time in to spend in Belfast before your departure, it would be a shame to miss out on the sights of the city. Belfast is packed with history, and was the birthplace of the Titanic. The city is awash with beautiful buildings and places of interest. Visitors should ensure that they take the time to see Belfast City Hall, the Grand Opera House and the recently restored Albert Clock.

Once you arrive at the airport, it is easy to kill a few hours in the terminal. There are plenty of places to sit down, have a meal, or enjoy a coffee.
