Visiting Belfast
Transport
The bus and train stops closest to the Europa Hotel are currently subject to change to facilitate the Belfast Public Realm Improvement Works and the opening of Belfast Grand Central Station, a new public transport hub. This work is expected to end in late 2024, and the guidance below will be updated accordingly.
Belfast has direct flight connections from over 20 European cities, and a number of North American locations. Sea crossings can be facilitated from England and Scotland, and rail connections are available across Northern Ireland, and direct to Dublin. For detailed information on travelling to Belfast by Air, Sea, Bus and Rail, please see the visitBelfast website.
