Follow in the legendary footsteps of giants at Northern Ireland's iconic World Heritage Site.
Read this article to know how to plan your visit and what to expect when you arrive.
Flanked by the wild Atlantic Ocean and a landscape of dramatic cliffs, for centuries the Giant’s Causeway has inspired artists, stirred scientific debate and captured the imagination of all who see it.
Visit Northern Ireland's only UNESCO World Heritage Site and learn how the Causeway was formed with one of our award-winning storytellers by booking Visitor Experience tickets. We have guided tours running every hour; or you can pick up an audio guide and unlock the secrets of this landscape at your own pace, with information available in 11 languages and options to suit all ages.
You can walk to the stones for free, but our on-site car park is reserved for those buying tickets for our Visitor Experience, which includes a guided tour, use of the audio guides, access to the shop, cafe and exhibition. The onsite car park is reserved for Visitor Experience ticket holders, members and local community pass holders.
All visitors are encouraged to pre-book online before they visit. Pre-booking helps us prepare for your arrival and reduces queue times for you and your party. It also helps avoid disappointment or delays if you arrive at a busy time

If the place runs Gift Aid on Entry, we'll offer you a clear choice between the Gift Aid Admission prices and the Standard Admission prices at the admission point. It's entirely up to you which ticket you choose.
Gift Aid Admission includes a 10 per cent or more voluntary donation. Gift Aid Admissions let us reclaim tax on the whole amount paid - an extra 25 per cent - potentially a very significant boost to our places' funds.
An extra £1 paid under the scheme can be worth over £3 to the National Trust as shown below:
