The charming coastal town has plenty to offer. One of the most impressive highlights is Carrickfergus Castle, a mighty Norman fortress from the 12th century and one of the best-preserved castles in Ireland.

The hike up to the Knockagh Monument was absolutely worth it. This striking memorial, built in 1922, commemorates the soldiers who fell in both World Wars and rewards visitors with a breathtaking panoramic view over the entire Belfast Lough and its stunning coastline.

In the evenings, we dive into the authentic Northern Irish vibe: at Owens Bar, we enjoy live music in a lively pub atmosphere and join the excitement of the World Cup qualifying match between Northern Ireland and Germany.
