Visitor Information Centres

You will always be greeted with a warm smile and a knowledgeable member of staff in our Visitor Information facilities.

Make this your first stop when planning your trip - our staff are passionate about what they do and will share hints and tips on lesser-known beauty spots, hidden gems and places of interest, then it's time to explore and tick off your list as you go!

Each facility is housed in a unique setting. The Bangor office in the town centre is in the historic eye pleasing Tower House which dates back to the 1600’s. In Newtownards, the central location showcases a large gift shop of local crafts and souvenirs, and you will find the Portaferry Local Visitor Information Office in Exploris Aquarium.

Our Visitor Information staff can advise on how to make the most of your visit, be it a day trip or longer.
