Titanic Belfast: Entrance

It's no coincidence that it has been recognized as the "World's Leading Tourist Attraction of 2016." At Titanic Belfast you can walk through a recreation of the deck, interact with a survivor who worked in the restaurant through a hologram, discover how the ship was built and learn what life was like on board for the passengers, as well as see original objects related to the Titanic. The experience reveals surprising curiosities, such as the enormous size of its chimneys or the luxurious facilities that many passengers never got to enjoy, including a gym, a swimming pool, Turkish baths, a kennel for first-class dogs and a squash court. Even the biggest Titanic buffs will discover unknown facts here. This is the largest dedicated Titanic exhibit in the world and is located on the very spot where the ship was designed, built and launched in May 1911. Along the way you'll meet the chief designer, explore the shipyard and learn about the local workers and passengers who participated in that tragic maiden voyage in April 1912. Thanks to high-definition images and interactive stations, you'll also see artifacts still resting in the wreck off the coast of Newfoundland. The visit is completed with an exploration of the SS Nomadic, the last surviving ship of the White Star Line, which in addition to carrying passengers on the Titanic and Olympic, served as a military vessel in both World Wars and today offers a fully restored and immersive experience.
