What makes this spot special
your cousin's local knowledge
Belfast International Airport is the larger of the two Belfast airports, located near Antrim, about thirty minutes northwest of the city. It handles most of Northern Ireland's long-haul and charter traffic.
From here you are already north of Belfast, which means the Causeway Coast and Giant's Causeway are closer. The M2 motorway takes you straight to the Antrim Coast Road. Heading south, you can reach Dublin in about two hours on the M1.
If you are flying in from mainland Europe or on a charter, this is likely where you will land. The car hire area is well signposted from arrivals.
