Flying into Belfast and other Belfast, United Kingdom Transportation Tips

Getting TO/AROUND: Belfast has two airports, the first is Belfast International which is where most of the international flights will land. This is a fair way out of the city and a taxi to the centre will cost around £25 to £30, although it might be possible to share a taxi if there is only one of two of you. A cheaper option is the Airport Express bus number 300 where a single ticket is £6 and this will drop you at the centrally located Europa Bus Centre.

The smaller of the two is Belfast City Airport also known as the George Best Airport, named after the flawed football genius and one of Northern Ireland’s favourite sons. This is served mainly by routes from other parts of the UK and Ireland. It is much closer to the City Centre and the Airport Express bus number 600 will get you to the Europa Bus Centre in about 15-20 minutes for just £1.40. As you come out of the airport building turn left and you should see the bus stop.

Getting TO/AROUND: Public transport in Belfast is provided by Translink and consists of the local Metro bus network, Goldliner and Ulsterbus services which go inter city and the Northern Ireland Railway service. The Metro consists of 12 main routes that run along corridors away from the centre. All services terminate and start on one of the sides of Donegall Square which runs around the City Hall. Services are quite frequent and reliable. A Metro Day Ticket costs £2.50 (£3.50 before 10am) for unlimited travel until midnight on the day it is purchased and can be bought on the bus.
