A Titanic Rendezvous in Belfast

My name is Jeremy from Glasgow. Ever since I was a kid, the story of the ill-fated Titanic always aroused my emotions. I wanted to get to know the history deeper so when I discovered that there was a museum dedicated to such in Belfast, I immediately planned on booking a ticket. From Glasgow, I booked a ticket to Belfast via EasyJet. I always fly via EasyJet because they always provide exceptional services for their passengers. I enjoyed the flight going to the city. When I arrived to Belfast, I was directed to Titanic Belfast. After buying an admission ticket to be able to enter, I explored the place. I was amazed as to how they made a great tribute to Titanic. It was in Belfast that the infamous Titanic was built, hence the memorabilia. I enjoyed every exhibit and display they had in store. I will sure book a ticket back to the place.

A Detour at Ulter Museum

My name is Flor from Vilnius. This year, I was invited for a convention at Belfast. I have never been to the city, so I was eager to book a ticket to the place. Having booked online, I was able to avail of a discounted ticket via Wizz Air. I actually like the service the airline staff rendered. They were kind and accommodating to our needs as passengers. When I have arrived at Belfast, I checked in at the hotel I was supposed to go. Since I was early, I had the chance to tour around Belfast. I bought a ticket to be admitted to the Ulster Museum. Surprisingly, this was the best museum I have seen in years. There a lot of exhibits of various themes: history, nature, science, art. You name it. As I was in a hurry, I did not finish the tour. Probably after the convention, I will buy another ticket back.
