Top Belfast Attractions & Museums

This day trip to Derry—also known as Londonderry—is the ideal way to learn about Northern Ireland’s history and periods of conflict, while benefiting from having the undivided attention of a private guide. Notable locations include a visit to murals in Bogside to learn about the Battle of Bogside, a walk along Derry’s Ancient City Walls, the Peace Bridge, and a look around the Museum of Free Derry.

Enrich your knowledge of Belfast’s turbulent history with this guided tour around the city. To help you save time and cover more sites, you’ll travel around in a black taxi. Along the way, learn about “The Troubles” and stop off at important murals at the Falls Road, Shankill Road, and the Peace Wall.

This tour of Belfast with a black taxi driver who lived through the civil rights clash of The Troubles allows you to learn loads more about the city's complicated history than you would traveling on your own. Sit back in rapt attention to your driver's narration, as you visit the famous Belfast murals on Falls Road and Shankill Road, painted by ex-prisoners on both sides of the conflict. Hear four versions of the city's history: the British version, the Republican version, the Loyalist version, and the truth according to someone who lived through it. Listening to your guide's narrative helps you make sense of a tangled history that is complicated and difficult to understand for visitors. You'll also see photos and videos depicting the neighborhoods visited on the tour as they were at that time.
