Finding the museum

Titanic Belfast stands in the Titanic Quarter, on the former Harland & Wolff shipyard, about 2.4 km (1.5 miles) from Belfast city centre.

• By Glider or bus: the Glider stops outside at the Titanic halt, and Metro 26 buses run from the city centre.
• By train or on foot: Titanic Quarter station is about 15 minutes’ walk away, and the city centre about 25 to 30 minutes.
• Before arrival: leave time for the journey and entry checks so you are ready for your booked slot.

Useful stops along the way

Facilities can change through the year. Visitors can usually expect:

• Accessible toilets on several levels, some with baby changing.
• A Changing Places facility on Level -1.
• Seats to rest along the galleries.
• Food and drink in the Grand Atrium.

Arrive at least 15 minutes before your entry time, and allow 1½ to 2½ hours for the galleries and up to an hour on SS Nomadic. Ask staff about current arrangements when you arrive.

A visit that works for you

All circulation spaces and the galleries are accessible, with scenic lifts from the atrium and seats to rest along the way. The Shipyard Ride takes one standard wheelchair at a time but not mobility scooters. SS Nomadic has a lift to every area except the crew space and the flying bridge deck, and reaching her means crossing a road and a cobbled dockside. Guide dogs are welcome.

• Check arrangements for your particular mobility or access needs before travelling.
• If you are bringing a stroller, confirm the current arrangements before arrival.
• Ask museum staff for assistance or directions during your visit.

Visit with respect

• Keep to the visitor paths, walk rather than run, and supervise children.
• Keep your ticket for SS Nomadic, hold on during the Shipyard Ride and follow staff guidance throughout.
• Smoking and animals are not permitted on the site.
• Commercial photography and filming, including product promotion, need permission.
• Follow the signs and staff guidance, including any restrictions in the exhibition spaces.

The story told here is of a disaster in which more than 1,500 people died; a little care keeps the galleries calm for everyone.

Make time for a pause

Food and drink are served in the Grand Atrium, and the Titanic Quarter and the city centre have more cafés and restaurants nearby.

• Stop for breakfast, lunch, a hot drink or refreshments nearby.
• Leave room in your plans for a quiet pause after the galleries.
• Check opening hours and menus on the day; food and drinks are purchased separately.

Keep your ticket after the galleries: you need it for SS Nomadic, the same day or within a year.

A few details worth planning

• Book ahead: choose the date, time and places you want to visit before making other plans.
• Keep your QR ticket ready: save it on your phone or bring a printed copy, with any proof needed for reduced admission.
• Start in the right place: arrive at least 15 minutes before your entry time and show the QR code on your ticket at the gallery entrance.
• Dress for exploring: comfortable shoes, a layer for the walk to SS Nomadic and a charged phone make the day easier.
• Leave space to linger: allow 1½ to 2½ hours for the galleries and up to an hour on SS Nomadic.
