Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted May 23, 2018 #1 Share Posted May 23, 2018 How bad/stressful is Belfast traffic during peak rush hour? How’s driving independently to/from Giant’s Causeway? We keep going back and forth between doing a tour and renting a car. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare VMax1700 Posted May 23, 2018 #2 Share Posted May 23, 2018 How confident are you about driving on Left side of the road? Coming back to Belfast from Antrim coast should be reasonably ok as you will be travelling against the flow, but Belfast Centre to the dock will be in the flow of rush hour traffic. Short distance tho'. Really depends on your comfort with the driving (maybe in the rain as it is know to precipitate ocasionally :eek:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubblesqueaker Posted May 23, 2018 #3 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Belfast traffic is fine (I live here). As long as you leave plenty of time to get back to your ship. You will most likely be docking at the North of the city so will avoid the congestion in the centre of the town. Driving to the Giants Causeway and North Coast is very easy - the roads are great and views are spectacular! If you want to fully enjoy the scenery, depending how many are in your party perhaps consider a tour or a private taxi. That way you can enjoy the scenery and see the landscapes!

Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted May 23, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Ok, thank you. My DH drove on the left side in Barbados chaos and did fine. How is the traffic to/from the Belfast City Airport? That’s where we’d be picking up the car. We have a tour we like and may do. The reason we’d do a rental car would be to go to some GOT places DH wants to visit that aren’t on the tours.

smm0218 Posted May 24, 2018 #5 Share Posted May 24, 2018 the roads are great and views are spectacular! But the driver has a hard time enjoying the scenery cause they have to keep their eyes on the road. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
