Tourism
Less well-known and therefore less visited than its southern neighbour, Northern Ireland can nevertheless be seen as a complement to the latter, with the discovery of the Giant's Causeway, which is the "must-see" of the region, as well as the entire coast of Antrim, appreciated for its landscapes. For those interested in the turbulent history of this region, cities like Belfast or Derry are also worth visiting.
