- Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2004 | We start in bustling Belfast's City Hall and Ulster Museum, then head out to Northern Ireland's favorite resort: Portrush, along the Antrim Coast, where we taste-test Irish whiskey, scramble over some six-sided geology in the Giant's Causeway, drop in on a world-class golf course, and stomp our feet to some traditional music. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #northernireland

Half Irish half Scottish, everytime I see or hear of Ireland my soul stirs, my heart is in that countryside, it's my family's history, God bless Ireland 💚🙏
English is my other half, HOWEVER it's me Irish side that wins! Love me Irish side!
Excellent
Heavenly
I went to 9 country's in Europe last summer and met some friends from Belfast in Paris - 6 country's later I decided to fly there to meet up with them again. I originally planned to stay for 5 days, ended up staying for 12! The people of Northern Ireland are some of the friendliest and accommodating I've ever met. If your deciding if you should go - do it!! :)
Kyle Chow oh yeeee we ar
I don't need to I live there!
I wish. Florida is so boring.
@@burgereagle9310 Go there! We have diverse weather, y’know, instead of just sun, sun, and more sun
We have snow, sun, rain and more snow! We get up to 30 degrees sometimes
@@burgereagle9310 I left FL.....To go back to NI.....FL is SOOOOOOO boring
Ireland is a beautiful country 🇮🇪
The Republic of Ireland is a beautiful country. But this video is talking about my country Northern Ireland (United Kingdom)
Your bitterness will destroy you
@ Beau Caspar
One Ireland , One country, One people .
The Orangeman’s ethnicity ( Anglo Saxon ) appears to be more important than the Nation ( Ireland) of his birth .
Daniel Cronin but we aren’t all one, there’s diversity. It’s nationalists who cling to a mystical ethnic identity
@compendious succient
Which nationalists ,
The British or Irish , or both ?
I live in belfast I can tell u never seeing friendly poeple like in northern ireland respect from Morocco
U must keep your background secret for that to be possible
You live in Belfast but writes "from Morocco"? Hm...
Am coming to Belfast in February , from.kenya . + 254716634115
thank you, From Friendly Northern Ireland
Literacy is alive and well!
One of my favourite places to visit. Belfast is an amazing city and in my opinion the best city in Ireland!
This is great. And actually a very fair and balanced view of the Troubles with none of the usual misconceptions!
Definitely our best COLONY!!!!.... 💖💖💖
May God save our Emprire and our cheerful Queen!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for a genuine review of our beautiful country.
Respect yous 🇬🇧🤜🏿
Sorry but N.Ireland is not a country
@@daithi3276 Northern Ireland is a one of the 4 nations that make up the diverse country of the United Kingdom
@@beaucaspar3990 N ireland is is still not a Country or a Nation?? Beau yes it makes up part of the UK but unlike Scotland , Wales , which are classified as countries.N.ireland is a Provence.
Uk 🇬🇧
One of the nicest places in Ireland.
Ireland (geographic area.) Northern Ireland is in the UK however
@@beaucaspar3990 ha haha ha ha! Right on cue!
Northern Ireland is beautiful.
Ireland is a beautiful country with long, sad and brave history.
+steve tak kin kwan Blame the British for that.
if you get your facts right Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom because the majority of people want it to be so and its not "Ireland" its Northern Ireland , Ireland is a separate independent republic governed from Dublin......
I live there
Emerald Gamer I live there to
::::::::::::: ::::::::::::: I live in Ireland mate, no one is telling me any different

Hello
@@sayno2lolzisback hi
I've just spent 4 amazing days in Belfast,and I've been on a tour up to the Giant's Causeway too. Its breathtakingly beautiful,clean,not too busy,theres no rush. People love partying,and they really enjoy themselves,sing and dance,not like here in England. Man are really handsome and sexy,and u can get cocktails for £3! I fell in love with this country! It was very hard to leave.
+Andi H 'Not like here in England' Seriously? England's famous for partying.
+OysterHunter lol if u call that partying
Andi H Lol, which parts of England have you been to?
+OysterHunter which parts of the world have u been to, to see the difference?
Andi H Most parts, if you must know.
I so love Northern Ireland. Everytime I see Belfast, I smile. It's a beautiful city with beautiful history
North of Ireland is just as beautiful as the south. Beautiful Northern Èire.
Don't call it that.
Ireland always in my heart.Miss you so much.

Hello Suzanne

@@jason-gf8dg politely it is Northern Ireland or you could say legally, but the “island” (geographically) is still call Ireland so both sides you id jits are right. 🤣😂😜
Northern Ireland is so lovely and heavenly peace country that's why I love the UK.
Half the people of Northern Ireland do not regard it as the UK but Ireland
Woke Woken more than half of that half don’t care . Grow up and move 👍🏻
ali bell how about you move back to your own country
@@orlaghquinn560 Well said Orlagh what a prat.
orlagh quinn I’m in my own country and it’s awesome . Here’s a hard pill to swallow , the republic can’t afford a United ireland even if unionists never got the majority 😂🇬🇧🇮🇪👍🏻
Serene beauty, pristine nature, rich culture & good people made Ireland a wonderful country!
I love cold and rainy climate...i wish i can get a husband from N.I and stay there 😊
was living in Belfast between 14 to 20, this brings up some kind of nostalgia for me

A big hello from México, Awesome place!!! I had a chance to live for six months there and we were with a lovely family, they all treated me and my daughter like we were part of their own family. I had an incredible experience, I hope someday I can go back. A country you must visit!!! I loved the weather!!! Yes, I know you probably won’t believe me but the weather was great for me.
No doubt, Europe is very beautiful. Love from Sindh.
People are incredibly friendly the countryside is amazing
@Brian P Found the british.
one day i will be at this magical lands
Just returned from a Rick Steves tour of Ireland - it was an amazing experience of Irish culture, music, gastronomical delights and the friendliest people on the planet. This video is just a taste of what you will find in the most beautiful country in the world.
Northern Ireland is a seperate country to Ireland, it is a region in the UK.
@@CaptainX2012 it is a region of Ireland as well
Thanks a lot Rick for showing us the beautiful places we have in this world, watching your videos always makes my day better.👍🎉🎉🎉

From my heart just want to say thank you Irish people and thanks NI..😍😍😍😍
NI is Irish people.
Get it right or wrong or else we’ll show you what we’re really like.

Most of Northern Ireland is British people
I'm from northern Ireland so happy to see you tour it 😍😍
How is it over there ?
I head that your accent rocks.
Well I Guess You Can Say Are Accents Popular We Don’t Always Have That Accent But We Always Atleast Sound That Way (Note: We Say What’s The Crack Not Hello)

Hi Louisa
I just got back from there while on holiday, it was a beautiful place.
Bill Gamble yup it is
I lived in Northern Ireland with my x wife 20years a local lassie from Dromara Gransha Road and my great grandparents are from co wexford thanks for sharing this video memories we was always at the 12th and 13th 😊all the best from me in England 🇬🇧 😀
The North of Ireland is a beautiful place there are so many lovely things to do and see l just love Derry, lovely city. The Giants Causeway is simply stunning. It also has some bsautiful beaches lovely place
I'm sorry but I'm kind of disrespected by your comment due to the fact you stated 'The North Of Ireland.' Northern Ireland is a completely different country as of Ireland. (I don't mind it if you don't live there or no connection to it but I was a bit disrespected)
@@jackclyde5162 Hi Jack meant no disrespect sorry if I caused you any offence.
@@anthonymcloughlin5128 all's good
It's the north of Ireland ☘
I live on the north coast of Northern Ireland and it's truly so beautiful
So do I!
I'm FINALLY going to Ireland later this Year and can NOT wait. I've known people who have gone to Ireland and have been green with jealously. Heard how beautiful the Country and Her People are. I think I remember watching this years ago on PBS or TVO (Ontario, Canada).
This video isn't about Ireland, though.
@@scottmairs9014 foreigners don't believe your narrow minded BS, they think we are all Irish, especially the English, who can't wait to get rid of us.
id say about 25% of England want rid of, I say that from experience speaking to English people
The Antrim Coast is so beautiful. My favorite spot is Ballycastle.
I was just in Ballycastle for holiday yesterday. I’m from ireland
Found your channel the other day and was blown away by the level of detail and knowledge. I appreciate that you not only travelled to NI but covered it’s history very accurately and professionally
Beautiful Ireland.
Northern Ireland is not the same as Ulster.
Northern Ireland, not Ireland.
@@scottmairs9014 How though, it's literally Northern IRELAND. Politics cannot change geography.
@@scottmairs9014 Northern Ireland is part of the island of Ireland, the clue is in the name, it's not Northern England, or Northern Scotland, or Northern Wales, it's Northern IRELAND.
Ireland is a geological place, an island, made up of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
Northern Ireland is in Ireland, but it's also part of the UK, but not part of Great Britain. Get over it.
@@jackmurray1613 Still not part ofthe country of Ireland though. Unfortunately not many know the difference.
It's my dream to come visit this beautiful country along with scotland and Glastonbury
Hi Cheryl
it's NOT a country, it's a province.
Proud East Belfast girl here. No surrender.

Thank you for showing us the land of our ancestors.
My school run is on a cliff overlooking the ocean it's so pretty in Northern Ireland
What a beautiful place! I want to visit it! Wait a minute: I live here! Thank you Rick! Hope to see you the next time you visit the north east of 🇮🇪 .
Wrong flag, my friend.
Can we be friends irish
Very nice! I have ancestors from county Antrim 🇮🇪
I heard today I have lost a true Friend, who was always there for me. By right some would say we should not have been friends, she was from Belfast and Protestant. My Parents were from Southern Ireland and I was brought up as Catholic (now lapsed), it made no difference. We never got involved with the Politics. This all reminds me of my dear Friend. Thank you.
Hello Anna
I would love to go there someday. My family left northern Ireland in the late 1700 for south Carolina USA. My guess is they were from jordanstown.
I'm from Northern Ireland. It's very safe despite its past. Its very interesting especially in places like the Giant's Causeway
This is ireland. Greetings from Turkey

@Nunquam Non Paratus No. Northern Ireland (UK)
I watched Rick Steves' travel programs on PBS many years ago.
I just love your show...its amizing sir..thank you for showing us all the beautiful places of the world
A country I have yet to visit, a homeland of some of my ancestors.
Absolutely beautiful.
Thanks, Rick. I watch you & reruns every chance I get!!
Do you have sc or fb ??
I really want to go to Donegal and the entire area of Innishowen. I hope this pandemic comes out better for us all so I can see where my grandmother's home place was before I die too!
Beautiful country...thank you for uploading this beautiful video
Amazing Belfast tour
Thank you so much. We were there about 7 years ago--a great trip. It's so nice to see many of the places we visited. I remember the rope bridge so well--we started walking there from the Giant's Causeway--it didn't look so far--and got pretty tired (in our 70's and 80's)...so we just watched other people on the bridge from afar. Now I see it better! And know I wouldn't have enjoyed being on it! Watching my third video of yours in a row; a great way to spend time and forget our present troubles--during the epidemic.
Hello Elinore
It's an absolute beautiful country. Since 2008 every time I am coming back when I can. Hopely this year I can come back. Thanks for this video. Juergen
Lovely vedio.thanks Mr Rick steves
Rick does a great job of explaining things.
When it comes to golf, Rick is a great tour guide.
Great video and fair representation of Northern Ireland.
As usual Rick, another fine tribute to my homeland for the world to view. Just one little criticism - when you and your compatriots are here, please take the chance to actually learn the pronunciation of our place names. For example Carrick a Rede rope bridge- it DOESN’T rhyme with crick, in the same way Carrickfergus DOESN’T rhyme with Crickfergus.
Try CARRick a read - NOT crick a reed
Thanks Rick for another great tour!
Thanks Rick, absolutely enjoyed your Documentary.
I just came back from NI and I’m already missing the place and people so much. All the comments are right in saying that the people are most friendly and welcoming. And I think it’s the people that you meet make a trip memorable!
Thank you for the Nice and Great people of NI,love the Belfast Town I Bin there in year’s 76 was verry good
Yes lovely poeple I still live in belfast

It is very pleasant and wonderful to know that the " troubles " have ended.Just Googled to find a what it was all about. Rick Stevens does present a peaceful, graceful and charming picture of Northern Ireland. I wish that it remains so. Some months ago David Hume one of the signatories of the Good Friday agreement expired. Having won the Mahantma Gandhi international award for peace , I did comment on that point. And even the the Nobel peace prize. As well as the Martin Luther king Jr. prize for peace.This should be covered.
Thank you Steve! Appreciate your channel! I enjoy it fully.👍🏽👏🏻😇
I'm going to Belfast on this Saturday !!!! OmG ! Can't wait !
Wow five years later...how was it?

You must be a plastic paddy who isn't Irish but so obsessed with Ireland, it's no wonder genuine Irish people think people like you are a joke
Your videos makes me travel the world as you do. But thanks so much you're helping us to see the world by just sitting under a room.
Country Ireland very nice
Hi Jenny
I was born in the north of ireland .but brought up in Liverpool England .Ireland was all catholic and its only right it becomes one country God bless Ireland.
incorrect.. the people who originally owned Ireland are no longer in existence.. so it's really not for anyone.
@@irishlegend5326 Countless invasions, battles and wars but no successful genocides. Their genes are still here.
@@mactoirdealbhaigh7624 incorrect, but crack on with the "Ireland was all Catholic" stuff.
@@mactoirdealbhaigh7624 pay no heed to Non Irish Legend, Trolls are everywhere these days
@@ShoJ369 I don't it sounds like an insecure loyalist, our culture is a mountain casting a shadow over their molehill.
What a pity you didn't visit Co.Down and the bustling seaside town of Newcastle to see the highest peak Slieve Donard sweep down to the sea, and play golf at Royal Co Down one of the World's top 3 rated gold courses
To many blind holes for my liking
Should have went to Carrickfergus the 11th century Castle is great
@@harry9392 "Should have went", You meant to say should have gone...
@@ericjensen9091 No I meant to say should have went , as an Ulster Scot I speak Scots and we have a lot of ways of saying things. To someone who thinks they speak better grammar it may seam weird , but it actually comes from the Gealic way of saying things.
@Terry Blanton as you seem to give off about people's post , IT'S Ireland not Iredland and Celtic not Celtoc
Belfast is my hometown. I miss it dearly.
I’ve been once to Belfast and Giant’s Causeway, but have never been to Derry. Hope I can pay a visit someday. Watching Derry Girls just made me wanna go there so bad!
I wish I was there
Kanokthorn Lee trust by brexit it will be a war zone
Thanks for showing us the beauty , history and nature of your land and people .
Hello Claudia
I rode my motorbike to Ballymena all the way from Paris, travelling only along the Coastal Roads, from Waterford to Cork and on to Galway. Returning on the South Coast roads to Wexford. It rained, I got wet, but boy it was a trip of a lifetime, wonderful people, great scenery and a sack full of memories, happy days indeed.
Just letting you know that the Northwest 200 is on this year after an absence of 2 years due to covid. If you're into motorbikes it might be worth a visit . I don't know if you know of these motorbike races but I'm sure you could look it up online. Best wishes from Northern Ireland.
Awesome breathtakingly beautiful country, wonderful laid back people, hello to Hellen from M Poland
Been to all those places, it's a beautiful island, check out the little museum in Derry, it brought tears to my eyes, I remember watching all the unrest on tv as a teen. I am going back in August this year, can't wait. The food is awesome, the pubs are beautiful, the architecture is beautiful. We don't have historical buildings like that in Canada.
Ulster fry sets you up fir the day
I couldn't stop laughing when he tried to say Carrick-a-rede bridge
Brilliant Steve well done
one of my dream place to visit ❤
