A Day on the Bus: What to Expect

Most visitors use the hop-on hop-off bus as their main way to get around Belfast. Here is a typical day and what you can expect from start to finish.

Morning: Board and do a full loop

Many passengers board at City Hall or the main city-centre stop. The first loop (about 1 hour 15 minutes) is ideal for listening to the live commentary and seeing the full route. You will pass Titanic Quarter, Stormont, the Cathedral Quarter, and the waterfront. Sit on the open-top deck if the weather is fine for the best views and photos.

Midday: Hop off at your chosen stop

On the second time around, hop off where you want to explore. Titanic Belfast is the most popular stop—allow at least two to three hours. Other options include City Hall for the centre and shops, or the Cathedral Quarter for lunch and street art. Check the timetable so you know when the next bus will pass your stop.

Afternoon: Rejoin and continue

When you are ready, wait at the same stop (or a nearby one on the route) and board the next bus with the same ticket. No need to book a time—just show your ticket when you get on. Buses usually run every 30–60 minutes depending on the season. You can repeat this as many times as you like within your ticket’s validity (24 or 48 hours).

Practical tips

Dress for the weather: the top deck can be windy or sunny. If it rains, the lower deck is covered. Have your ticket ready on your phone or as a print-out. Buses are wheelchair-accessible where possible—contact the operator for specific needs. For route and times, use the map and timetable on this site.
