Titanic Belfast is a monument to Belfast’s maritime heritage.

Situated on the site of the former Harland & Wolff shipyard, it is where the RMS Titanic was built.

The Titanic Belfast tells the stories of the ill-fated Titanic, which sank during her maiden voyage in 1912, and her sister ships RMS Olympic and HMS Britannic.

The building contains more than 12,000 square metres of exhibits!

If you take the Discovery tour, (which takes one-hour) you will walk in the footsteps of the men who built RMS Titanic – the world’s most famous ship, in Belfast’s historic shipyard.

The modern museum was built in 2009 and a number of heritage features were  given listed status, including the Olympic and Titanic slipways and graving docks, as well as the iconic Samson and Goliath cranes.

The derelict land from the former ship building industry was renamed the “Titanic Quarter” in 2001 and was earmarked for regeneration. Titanic Belfast is situated within the heart of the Titanic Quarter, just a short walk from Belfast’s city centre.
