Timeline
11:00
Walk to the SS Nomadic. This tender ship was built to transfer first and second-class passengers to the larger Titanic and Olympic. It is the only surviving vessel of its kind. Arrive as it opens to explore the interior and the story of the tenders before the day gets busy.
11:15
Walk two minutes to The Dock Cafe for a coffee and a light snack. It is open from 11:00 on weekdays and 10:00 on Saturdays, making it the perfect spot to refuel right after your visit.
11:45
Head to Alexandra Park, a Victorian park opened in 1888. It is about 31 minutes away, offering a green escape with typical formal park layouts, lawns, and flower beds. It is a quiet place to walk and enjoy the afternoon light.
Local tip
The SS Nomadic ticket is the same as the Titanic exhibition, so if you have a combined pass, you are all set. The Dock Cafe is convenient for a quick break, but Alexandra Park is a longer walk away, so check the route if you are not sure how to get there.
