You probably know by now that the Titanic was built in Belfast.
But do you know how it was built and the impact the port had on Belfast?
Well, this is only a few things you can discover when visiting the Titanic Experience right there at the centre of the Titanic quarter in Belfast.

From outside the building, you can already feel how huge this boat was as the building is the same height as the Titanic was. The slipway gives you a sense of its length...

When you come in, your experience begins you follow history through the many galleries, you even have a ride!

The last gallery lets you explore the deep sea and what remains of the Titanic.

After that, you can visit the SS Nomadic, which was the boat who brought the passengers from Cherbourg on to the Titanic. A great way to finish the experience.

The Titanic Experience is a world-class attraction and a must-see when in Belfast! You can easily spend a couple of hours or more taking in all of the history of the city and the ship over the various different floors.

There is plenty of wonderful information and interactive displays, the ride around the ship, the First Class compartments and the huge displays keep you wanting to stand and take it all in.

Coupled with the SS Nomadic as part of one of the many experiences, the little sister has lots to see and the members of staff have a wealth of knowledge to add to the occasion. Add to that the chance to dress up with some clothes of the day and learn about its use in WW2 and also in later life as a tender to the Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth liners.

Für einen Besuch bei der Titanic Experience sollte man sich wirklich einen ganzen Nachmittag freinehmen! 
Man begibt sich auf die Reise der Titanic, die vom Anfang des Schiffbaus berichtet, von den Erinnerungen der Arbeiter erzählt und einem Hintergrundwissen über die White Star Line verschafft. Diese erste Seefahrt der legendären Titanic würde ohnehin bedeutsam werden, da sie das erste Mal ins Meer stechen wird. Der Moment, auf den alle gewartet hatten, als das majestätische Schiff endlich vom Hafen fährt und die Liebenden am Ufer zurückgelassen werden...
Man fühlt sich in der Titanic Experience, als würde man als Passagier selbst mitreisen. Details der einzelnen Klassen des Schiffs sind wunderbar zusammengetragen, visuell mit neuster Technik anschaulich und interaktiv dargestellt und mit Musik unterlegt.
Natürlich kennen wir alle jedoch das tragische Ende des eindrucksvollen Schiffs. Diese Reise führt uns jedoch bis hin zu den neusten Erkenntnissen und Unterwasseraufnahmen der Titanic, die man auf der Leinwand nachempfinden kann.
Man sollte sich diese Gelegenheit in Belfast nicht entgehen lassen und selbst in eine Zeit vor über hundert Jahren eintauchen!

Dieser Ort zeigt die Länge der gigantischen Titanic an! Das Museum selbst hat die gleiche Höhe des Schiffs.

Zum Abschluss der Titanic Experience kann man die SS Nomadic besuchen. Die letzte Flotte der White Star Line, welches die Passagiere der Titanic von Cherbourg nach Belfast fuhr und nun direkt gegenüber von der Titanic Experience liegt. 
Und sofern der Eintritt bereits für die Titanic Experience bezahlt wurde, ist der Eintritt auf der SS Nomadic frei!

De Titanic Experience is zeker een aanrader! Ik vond het deel waar je de geschiedenis van Belfast kunt ontdekken super interessant, en het is erg indrukwekkend om te zien hoe de kamers van de 1e, 2e en 3e klasse er uit zagen. Je komt dus zo dichtbij mogelijk bij hoe het schip er uit zag. 

https://d2b4i25io5fq3v.cloudfront.net/23-09-2019/27484461-f4b8-4e46-94f4-cb85.jpg

Alles is zeer interactief, en je kunt op veel schermen doorklikken op namen, plaatsen en punten in de geschiedenis om te zien hoe de stad zich ontwikkelt. Belfast stond bekend om zijn schepen van hoge kwaliteit, en de Titanic was echt een innovatief bouwwerk met voor die tijd ongekende luxe. Zelfs voor de lage klasse! 

https://d2b4i25io5fq3v.cloudfront.net/23-09-2019/aefcaefb-0631-443e-9946-5bb1.jpg

https://d2b4i25io5fq3v.cloudfront.net/23-09-2019/062d2262-ef1b-4a69-8ca7-0437.jpg

Er wordt ook heel veel aandacht besteed aan hoe het schip op het moment op de oceaanbodem ligt, en het is mooi om te zien hoeveel er is vastgelegd, vooral omdat de Titanic op het moment steeds sneller aan het verdwijnen is. 

https://d2b4i25io5fq3v.cloudfront.net/23-09-2019/de4402aa-9e34-4522-b467-2fe4.jpg

Met schermen aan de wand en op de vloer zie je hoe de gezonken Titanic op de bodem ligt, met alle dagelijkse voorwerpen en persoonlijke bezittingen. Het is vreemd hoe onaangetast de badkuip van de kapitein nog steeds is. 

Zorg trouwens dat je je kaartje goed bewaart, want je krijgt ook gratis toegang tot de SS Nomadic, het schip dat passagiers van het vasteland naar de Titanic vervoerde. Het ligt op een kleine afstand lopen vanaf de Titanic Experience, en het schip is volledig teruggebracht in de originele staat. Zeker de moeite waard!

Dichter bij de originele Titanic kun je niet komen! :)

La visita al Titanic Experience es una de las más interesantes de Belfast, ya que incluye datos sobre la historia de la ciudad, el desarrollo de los astilleros y por supuesto todo lo relacionado con la construcción y viaje del famoso transatlántico.

https://d2b4i25io5fq3v.cloudfront.net/29-09-2019/a1c02194-748c-443e-b4bc-4f0b.jpg

Como curiosidad, recomiendo asomarse también al Titanic Hotel, justo al lado del centro interactivo. En ese edificio se encontraban las oficinas donde se diseñó el barco, y todavía pueden verse las salas con los grandes ventanales donde los arquitectos e ingenieros dibujaron los enormes planos que se exhiben en el Titanic Experience. 

https://d2b4i25io5fq3v.cloudfront.net/29-09-2019/d45377f6-fe6d-48bc-a09c-e11c.jpg

El hotel ha sido rehabilitado recientemente y conserva el encanto de la época, ya que se han guardado muebles originales y se ha mantenido el diseño.
