Coach holidays with Alfa Travel

Two Capitals & Mountains of Mourne

Resort - Dublin Belfast

Overview

The Irish capitals have a rich and storied history and we’ll enjoy both on this short break from our base in Ashbourne on the outskirts of the Greater Dublin Area. From the historic Titanic Quarter of Belfast to the vibrancy of Temple Bar in Dublin, the Emerald Isle has charmed visitors for centuries. Both cities offer no end of shopping opportunities, excellent dining, green and cultural spaces as well as award-winning visitor attractions and you’ll have the chance to do as much or little as you please after we take fascinating guided tours of both cities. We’ll also take a trip to the Mountains of Mourne to admire some of the spectacular scenery the island is renowned for.
