What to see in Ireland

Giant's Causeway

Located on the northeast coast of Northern Ireland, the Giant's Causeway is one of the country's most impressive and iconic destinations. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this natural wonder is made up of over 40,000 hexagonal basalt columns that rise from the ocean, formed millions of years ago by volcanic activity. The site is easily accessible, just an hour's drive from Belfast, making it a perfect day trip for those seeking a deep connection with nature and geological history.In addition to its stunning rock formations, the area features highlights such as the picturesque Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, a suspension bridge offering breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean. Nearby, the cliff-top Dunluce Castle adds a mystical touch to the landscape. An interesting curiosity is that, according to local legend, the Giant's Causeway was created by the Irish giant Finn McCool, who built this path to confront his Scottish rival. This blend of mythology and nature makes the site a fascinating destination for any visitor.
