Known for its warm hospitality, lively music scene, and breathtaking scenery, Derry/Londonderry invites visitors to experience the best of Northern Ireland's cultural revolution.

A walking tour of Derry/Londonderry, Northern Ireland

The peace bridge.

We'll start our tour at one of Derry City's most famous landmarks. Spanning across the River Foyle and connecting the east and west banks of the city, The Peace Bridge is a symbol of hope and reconciliation. Opened in 2011, the bridge was designed by renowned architect Wilkinson Eyre. It's sleek design and sweeping curves give the Peace Bridge a modern feel. You'll get the best photos of the bridge by standing on the east bank, and getting the Guildhall and St Eugene's Cathedral in the background. The bridge has designated pedestrian and cycling lanes, and provides stunning views of both the River Foyle and Derry City at every point.

Derry Girls Mural

After crossing The Peace Bridge, heading across the river from east to west, you'll come to the Foyle Embankment. Taking a left here will bring you to a set of traffic lights. Cross the road here onto Water Street, this leads onto Orchard Street. This will bring you past the FoyleSide Shopping Centre on your left-hand side, and then Badgers Bar on your right. The Derry Girls Mural is on the side of Badgers Bar. While it may not be well known outside the British Isles, Derry Girls was a hugely popular sitcom that aired on Channel 4 from 2018 to 2022. It follows the hijinx of a young girl and her group of friends, and one of their hapless cousins; James, set mainly in a Catholic girls' school during the 1990s. The show is a source of immense pride to the Derry locals, and you'll see homages to it throughout the city — the Derry Girls Mural being the most prominent example.

• Derry City Walls

Continuing up Orchard Street, take a right onto Ferryquay Street until you reach a plaza known as The Diamond. Heading straight across The Diamond will bring you onto Butcher Street. Towards the end of Butcher Street, take a left onto Magazine Street Upper, which will bring onto Palace Street and the Derry City Walls . The walls are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and were first constructed during the British Plantation of Ulster between 1613 and 1618, as a means of protection from Irish chieftains. The walls run in a circuit around the old city and are an example of the best-preserved fortifications in Europe. It's free to walk one mile long circuit of the walls. They reach 26 feet high and 30 foot wide in places, with photo opportunities of both Derry City and its Bogside region in plentiful supply.

Museum of Free Derry

Circling back from the Derry City Walls, along Magazine Street Upper and onto Fahan Street, will bring you onto Rossville Street. Here, you'll find the Museum of Free Derry . Established in 1997 by the Bloody Sunday Trust, the museum is focused on the civil right movement in Northern Ireland, with a particular focus on Bloody Sunday — the day 13 unarmed civilians were killed by British forces during a civil right march (January 30th, 1972). The museum isn't much to look at from the outside, built within a section of an industrial complex, but inside it's a treasure trove of information. Packed with documents, artefacts and interactive displays, it gives a compelling look back at Derry City during "The Troubles". Particularly poignant is the Memorial Room, which is dedicated to each of the 13 people who lost their lives on Bloody Sunday. There is an entrance fee of &10, and is well worth a visit for anyone looking to get a better understanding of the social and political history of this once trouble city.

Lunch at Craft Village

Looping back to Magazine Street, via Rossville Street, William Street and High Street, will bring you to the Craft Village . Located in the centre of Derry, the Craft Village is a wonderfully preserved section of the city that dates back to the 18th century. Made up of historic buildings that run along cobblestoned streets, it acts as both a shopping Mecca and the ideal spot to take a break and grab a snack. You'll find artisan shops selling everything from handmade jewellery, clothes, pottery and artwork. The atmosphere here is Bohemian and friendly, with a continuous variety of events, craft fairs, live music performances and exhibitions taking place throughout the year. Craft Village is also home to a number of cafés, restaurants, and bars where you can relax and take in the atmosphere.

Tower Museum

A one-minute walk up Magazine Street, back towards the river, will bring you to the Tower Museum . While the Museum of Free Derry focuses on the history of the city during The Troubles, the Tower Museum gives an overview of Derry from its prehistoric origins, to the Spanish Armada of 1588, through the Troubles of the last century, to the present day. The museum is located just inside the Derry City Walls, and its roof acts as an open-air viewing area that offerings stunning views across the River Foyle and the city itself. There is an entrance fee of £4, and the knowledgable staff are more than happy to show you around and answer any questions that may arise.

Continuing along the path towards the river for about another minute, you'll reach the Guildhall . This iconic landmark of Derry City stands out with its striking sandstone exterior and distinctive clock tower. The building was completed in 1890 and is neo-Gothic in style. It has acted as a seat of local government since its opening and today is used as a hosts a variety of concerts, exhibitions and events throughout the year. Visitors can explore the Guildhall during designated hours, with knowledgeable guides available to offer insights into its architecture and historical significance. While entry is free, donations towards the buildings' upkeep are welcomed.

Martin McCrossan - 'Mr Derry'

It was in the early 90’s that businessman Martin McCrossan had a vision that one day the time period known as the ‘troubles’ would come to an end and we would have visitors coming from all over the world to hear about our history and experience our culture.  Martin always had a great sense of passion for the city he was born and raised in and the people in it.  Through this, he started Martin McCrossan City Tours as a hobby alongside his other business.  This hobby over time became a full time role and Martin then decided to focus solely on his passion – tour guiding. He sadly passed at the young age of 52 in 2015 and following his passing he was hailed ‘Mr Derry’ by local councillors and patrons of the city.  The business continues to thrive to this day under the leadership of Martin’s daughter and Blue Badge Tourist Guide, Charlene.  Martin McCrossan City tours is the ONLY Tourism NI Approved 5 star walking tour in the city.

We took the tour with John and the knowledge of the events and the work for justice was very great. If you visit Derry, be sure to take the time to go for the tour. Thanks from Finland!

I was fortunate to have a personal tour with Paul and it was a privilege to get such a straightforward and factual account of his own father's tragic and unnecessary death. I recommend this tour to anyone that wants an extremely accurate account of Bloody Sunday. Paul participated in the Inquiry and has detailed knowledge of the event as it unfolded. Do not miss this tour!

Leslie Tilbrook

Fascinating tour. A very informative and passionate description of the city's history. I'm from Cork and girlfriend is from the US... different understanding of Irish history but we both highly recommend this tour. Paul was very friendly and open to all questions. Thanks!

Kevin O'Loughlin

We went on the Bogside history tour with Glenn and I would like to acknowledge his passion and commitment to the cause of educating and improving our knowledge of the Bloody Sunday events of 1972! I have an extensive understanding of Irish history, but nothing prepared me for the detailed perspective presented by Glenn. I would recommend this experience to all those who visit Derry in order to experience what is not presented in the written word!

Lesley Cooke

A fantastic 2 hours spent in the company of Paul and so reasonable , very informative and not political just the cold hard facts of how the city started and evolved right through to the troubles can't wait to come back to the city.

The walking tour with Glenn was very informative and interesting, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to know about Bloody Sunday in 1972. I appreciated the opportunity to learn more about events in modern Irish history, at a more personal level, by going on this tour.

Peter Kiernan

Thank you Glen for the wonderfully informative tour you gave us on Saturday. Glen spent nearly 2 hours showing the two of us around the area, telling us about the events of Bloody Sunday, and patiently answering our no doubt ignorant questions. We would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Derry who wants to have a better understanding of Irish political history and Bloody Sunday in particular. In all it was a very moving experience.

Mike Barnett

Paul has an incisive knowledge of Irish history which he shared with us on a most enjoyable tour.The chap has an ability to have you believe you were there on the day, something far more preferable to watching an event on video.

Kevin Keenan

My family took this tour with Paul. We learned so much about the events of Bloody Sunday. I wasn't sure that I wanted to go on this tour (I didn't know much about it) but my husband and son talked me into it and I am glad we did. The tour helped me (and my family) understand the events of the day as well as the aftermath. Learning from family members made it so much more powerful.

Holly Gallagher

The guide, Glen, was very good.He knew his history! I learned alot about the history leading up to "Bloody Sunday" and the events of the day. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to find out more about Irish history and the events surrounding"Bloody Sunday".

Mike Burkett

We took this tour with Glen Tuesday,so much of Irish history fell into place for us.Very informative and moving account of Bloody Sunday. We would highly recommend this walk to anyone visiting Derry/Londonderry.

Pauline Carrigan

I am from Ireland and was visiting Derry and wanted to know more about the City's History. I was given a tour by Paul and I have to say it was excellent.

Derry City handed suspended partial stadium closure

Derry City have been issued a suspended partial closure of the Brandywell Stadium by an independent disciplinary committee.

The decision comes after incidents during and after the League of Ireland Premier Division fixture between Derry City and Shamrock Rovers on Friday night.

The Candystripes lost the game 3-1 and there was crowd trouble outside the stadium with visiting fans forced to gather in the centre circle after the final whistle.

During the game, a pyrotechnic thrown from outside the stadium landed on the field.

The suspended closure will come into effect should similar incidents occur during Derry's next home league game against Shelbourne on Monday, 6 May.

City have also been fined 2,000 euro (£1,700) over the incidents.

A statement from the League of Ireland said: "The League of Ireland and FAI are committed to providing a safe environment for players, officials, staff and spectators at all our fixtures."

In a statement, Derry City said they accepted the ruling of the independent disciplinary committee and said it was exploring ways to enhance crowd control measures.

"As a result of continued anti-social behaviour, the club need to take additional measures to ensure that all supporters attending games in the Ryan McBride stadium can enjoy a safe and enjoyable match night experience," their statement read.

"This is highly unfortunate and not a move the club takes lightly. It has however been forced on the club due to those recent events.

"The club is reviewing photographic and video evidence to seek to identify any supporters involved in this behaviour."
