Just eight miles down the M1 from Belfast, Lisburn holds the distinction of being Northern Ireland's newest city — granted city status in 2002 to mark the Queen's Golden Jubilee. Set along the banks of the River Lagan in County Antrim, it combines a proud linen-making past with a confident, forward-looking character. The proximity to Belfast gives residents quick access to the capital's attractions, while Lisburn's own Castle Gardens, thriving retail quarter, and strong community spirit make it far more than a commuter satellite.
Address: Lisburn, County Antrim, BT28 1AA, United Kingdom.

Lisburn
Location
Lisburn stands in County Antrim on the western fringe of the Greater Belfast urban area, roughly 8 miles south-west of the capital at coordinates 54.5169° N, 6.0581° W.
The M1 motorway runs along the city's northern edge, giving rapid access to Belfast and onward to Dungannon and the west. The A1 heads south toward Newry and the border, connecting with the M1 at Sprucefield. Lisburn railway station, served by Translink's NI Railways, provides regular commuter trains to Belfast Great Victoria Street and southward to Portadown and beyond.
History
Lisburn rose to prominence in the seventeenth century when Huguenot refugees fleeing religious persecution in France settled in the town and brought with them advanced linen-weaving techniques. Their expertise transformed the Lagan Valley into the epicentre of Ireland's linen industry — a trade that would drive local prosperity for the next three centuries and earn Lisburn the title "Linen Capital."
A devastating fire swept through the town in 1707, destroying much of the original settlement, but rebuilding was swift and the Georgian streetscape that emerged still shapes the city centre today. The Irish Linen Centre and Lisburn Museum, housed in the old Market House, preserves this remarkable textile story alongside broader local history. Modern Lisburn balances that heritage with a growing retail, residential, and business base that draws families and professionals in equal measure.
Transport Links
Lisburn railway station sits on the Belfast–Dublin Enterprise corridor, with NI Railways operating frequent local services into Belfast (around 15 minutes) and south to Portadown, Newry, and beyond. The Enterprise cross-border service also stops here, offering a direct link to Dublin Connolly.
By road, the M1 is just minutes away, putting Belfast International Airport within a 25-minute drive and Belfast City Airport within 20 minutes. The A1 provides a swift corridor south toward the border. When rail and road don't quite cover your itinerary, our taxi service steps in with comfortable, door-to-door transfers across Northern Ireland and further afield.
Attractions & Amenities
Lisburn packs more into its compact centre than many larger cities. The Irish Linen Centre and Lisburn Museum tells the story of the region's world-famous textile trade through engaging exhibits and interactive displays. Castle Gardens, landscaped around the ruins of the seventeenth-century castle, offer a peaceful green retreat steps from the high street.
Lagan Valley Island serves as a multipurpose civic and arts venue, hosting conferences, live performances, and community events throughout the year. Shopping is well provided for between Bow Street Mall and the surrounding independent stores, while cafes and restaurants along Market Square give the city centre a sociable buzz on weekends and evenings.
Car Parking
Free and pay-and-display car parks are dotted around the city centre, with larger facilities near Bow Street Mall and Laganbank Road. Street parking is available but can disappear quickly during lunchtime and Saturday shopping hours.
Avoid the hunt for a space by letting us handle the driving. A taxi gets you straight to the door — no walking, no tickets, no circling the block.

Choose Your Vehicle
No two journeys are the same, which is why our fleet covers everything from compact saloons to premium first-class cars. Have a look at the options below and pick the vehicle that matches your group, your luggage, and the level of comfort you're after.
Estate Car
A roomy boot paired with comfortable seating for up to 4 passengers makes the estate car a solid option when you're travelling with 4 standard suitcases (23kg each). Great for families heading to the airport or anyone whose luggage won't fit in a standard saloon.
Executive Car
Sleek and composed, the executive saloon seats up to 3 with 3 suitcases (23kg max), or 4 if everyone travels light. A step up in refinement for corporate trips, client pickups, or any occasion where presentation matters.
People Carrier
Keeps larger parties together — up to 5 passengers with 5 suitcases (23kg each), or 6 travelling with hand luggage only. One vehicle, one fare, and enough room for everyone to travel in comfort rather than splitting into separate cars.
Executive People Carrier
The same generous capacity as a standard people carrier — 5 passengers and 5 suitcases (23kg) or 6 with hand luggage — finished to a higher specification. When your group wants space and a touch of class, this is the answer.
First Class
Our flagship ride for those who accept nothing but the best. Sink into leather seating, enjoy the quiet cabin, and arrive feeling refreshed. Perfect for board-level pickups, wedding transfers, or anyone who values a truly premium experience on the road.
