About the Belfast hop-on hop-off bus
Hop-on hop-off buses are the smartest way to navigate Belfast's unique geography, connecting the city centre with the dispersed historic and cultural sites.
The route is carefully designed to cover the Maritime Mile, the political districts of West Belfast, the University Quarter, and the City Centre in one comprehensive loop.
Passes are typically valid for 24 or 48 hours, giving you ample time to hop off, explore a museum or a market, and hop back on the next bus.
Live guides on many buses bring the city to life with humor, history, and personal stories that you won't find in guidebooks.
Browse our ticket recommendations, including family passes and combos that might save you money on entry to Titanic Belfast or the Crumlin Road Gaol.

What to expect on board and at each stop
Your hop-on hop-off ticket unlocks Belfast's diverse neighborhoods—here is what a typical day might look like:
Start your morning at Castle Place, grabbing a seat on the top deck for the best views. As the bus winds through the shipyard, you'll feel the scale of the gantry cranes, Samson and Goliath. Hopping off at Titanic Belfast, you can spend a few hours immersing yourself in the tragic yet fascinating maritime history.
Rejoin the bus and head towards the political districts. The atmosphere changes as you enter West Belfast, where the famous murals and Peace Walls stand as reminders of the city's turbulent past. Your guide will handle this sensitive history with care and insight. Finish your day in the University Quarter, perhaps visiting the Botanics or grabbing a coffee on the Lisburn Road before the final run back to the City Centre.

Important Booking Information
The route is a one-way loop. If you miss a stop (like the Gaol), you will have to go all the way around again to get back to it.
Dress for the weather. It can be breezy near the docks and sunny in the city centre. Layers are your best friend in Northern Ireland.
Keep your ticket safe. You will need to show it every time you board the bus throughout the day.
Check the time for the last bus. It's often earlier than you think (around 4:00 PM or 5:00 PM), so don't get stranded far from your hotel.
