As far as we can tell, the M&D Theme Park day tours are no longer available with Stena Line. For up-to-date information check the Stena Line website. I really think M&D needs a proper rebrand, to something more generic, like Adventure World or Big Thunder Land, or just something to let people know that it’s …

The Titanic Quarter is a relatively new tourist area in Belfast City Centre, or at least it was a bit of a mess before the rejuvenation of the Belfast harbour area spurred by the opening of the Titanic Belfast Museum (2012). This was soon followed by the development of further museums and tourist attractions like …
Stormont is one of those overlooked tourist gems in Belfast, seen more as a quick photo-op from the open-top hop-on/hop-off bus tours. But I would forever recommend hopping off that bus as there really is more to Stormont, and the surrounding grounds of Stormont Estate to make it well worthwhile. And the same goes for …
I never considered Dublin Airport as an easy travel option from Northern Ireland, opting more for flights from Belfast to London, which really just added an extra flight to most long-haul journeys. But, partly due to crap airports in Northern Ireland, I now prefer flights in-and-out of Dublin, and with simple buses between Dublin Airport …
First off. The George Best Belfast City Airport (BHD) is very different than the Belfast International Airport (BFS) and full flight arrivals and arrival times can be found on the airport website. The airport is located less than 4 miles from Belfast City Centre (10-minute drive) in East Belfast and less than 10 miles (18-minute …
Ironically the single, best individual day of our road trip in France was in Spain, when we travelled through the Pyrenees from France’s glitzy seaside city of Biarritz to our next destination of Alquezar, a medieval village in the mountainous regions of Huesca Province. And the journey followed a number of fascinating and unexpected contrasts along pristine …
We followed the Glacier Express Route from Zermatt to St Moritz, on a rather spectacular train journey that cuts across the Swiss Alps, during winter when the mountains are still blanketed in snow (mid-January). As it really is the most perfect winter train journey in Europe. And we started the 2-day journey from Bern, the …
Our visit to Switzerland was part of a road trip where we arrive from Lake Como in the Italian Alps before forwarding on to Chamonix and the French Alps. In Switzerland, we do rush through other attractions along the way including Titlis and Brunni in Engelberg, but our main attraction was the Jungfrau region where …
One of my lesser goals in travel is to eat the traditional dishes of every country in Europe. Something that is not as simple as expected, where they are often hidden behind the hot dogs, kebab shops, and multiculturalism of today’s modern Europe. And while I did aim to tick off all the National Dishes …
We opt for a road trip on this winter adventure, as almost all attractions planned are well off the beaten path, and they’re really just not accessible by either flight or even train at times. Plus, with road trips in Europe, much of the best scenery is found between big cities, in the mountains and …
