Derry Londonderry-An Amazing View of the Maiden City-Everyone should visit Derry and walk the walls.
Check out Derry now in this short video, see what Derry daily life is like. Derry is the 2nd city of Northern Ireland, it is situated in the UK, but on the Island of Ireland. It is often called the Maiden City or the Walled City in Northern Ireland.
Sometimes it is referred to as Derry and in other cases it is called Londonderry and this has been the subject of a name dispute between Irish nationalists and unionists; nationalists are the ones to call it Derry while unionists are those who refer to it as Londonderry. When it comes to the legal side, it is known as Londonderry.
It is not about the name of the city but it is about the things to do there and the places to visit in it. Our journey in this beautiful city started with Londonderry Courthouse which is one of the old buildings that are found in the city and which you will at some point pass by.
Austins was the second place to pass by in Derry/Londonderry. Austins is the world's oldest independent department store that was established back in 1830 by Thomas Austin and it has been working since that time until today. It is not just for the sake of shopping, but this old building is another reason why one will come to it and know more about the history of its foundation.
Among the other touristic attractions of this city in Northern Ireland, we came to the Bishop's Gate which was built at the suggestion of Bishop Hervey in 1789 to celebrate the centenary of the siege. Bishop's Gate will take you to Bishop's street and there you could have a stroll down doing nothing specific (
Among the list of places which we visited in Londonderry, we have been to The Craft Village. The Craft Village is the reconstruction of an 18th century street and 19th century square that provide an eclectic mix of artisan craft shops, balconied apartments and different restaurants and coffee shops which one could sit it and enjoy their time. We have walked across this village and loved every detail related to it and we would suggest it for those who will be visiting Derry anytime soon and there you will also find souvenir gifts to take back home to your friends and family.
Moving forward with our trip, we visited the Guildhall and Square which is another touristic attraction for people to visit while being in Derry. The Guildhall in Derry is an old building that is standing there from 1890 and it is the building in which the elected members of Derry and Strabane District Council meet. The old 17th century Guildhall was first located in the Diamond area of the Walled City but this building was then destroyed by fire and the new building was assigned to be built in a city square. In addition to the social and political meetings which are held in the Guildhall, this is also the place where the Feis Doire Colmcille - an event which celebrates Irish culture - is held. Guildhall Square which is just in front of the building is the main city square in Derry - Londonderry and is also the place where different important and beneficial events are usually held (
One of the other things that people tend to check while they are in Derry/Londonderry is the Peace Bridge. Peace Bridge was opened back in 2011 by Johannes Hahn and it is both a cycle and foot bridge that crosses over River Foyle. The aim of the bridge was to connect Ebrington Square to the rest of the city centre, and that what happened eventually with this bridge that is one of the newest three to be found in Derry (
The last stop in this video around the city of Derry in Northern Ireland is Shipquay Gate which is one of the original four city gates dating back from 1805. It is interesting to come across those different old gates which stand from the history until today but which will bring you to the modern world that you are living in - they give the city a different kind of atmosphere.
These are the places we passed by in Derry/Londonderry, but if you are searching for something more then you could check the rest of the gates found there and you could also consider visiting St. Columb's Park which is one of the most famous to be found in Derry/ Londonderry (
Back in 1613, the city was granted a Royal Charter by King James I and gained the London prefix to reflect the funding of its construction by the London guilds and from that time the legal name has been Londonderry although some people refer to it as Derry.
Derry tourism is growing in recent years - and there is plenty now to do in Derry on a night out. The city itself is a great walk with many historic points especially the walls that surround the city. Doire as it is called in Gaelic - is well worth a visit by any tourist

Irish Murals Mark The Troubles in Bogside Derry/Londonderry - The Bogside Murals - History Tour
A walking tour of the Derry/Londonderry murals. Many found in the Bogside part of Derry - political murals marking many key events in the city's history including Bloody Sunday.
A haunting reminder to the times not that long ago that the people of Northern Ireland suffered due to the Troubles. It is well worthwhile for any tourist to take a tour in these areas with a local and hear first hand the events that consumed everyday life in Northern Ireland.
Bogside is a neighborhood outside the city of walls of Derry in county Londonderry and this is where the different large-garble wall murals drawn by Bogside Artists, Free Derry Corner, and the Gasyard Feile (which is an annual music and arts festival held in a former gasyard). These different murals are considered a famous touristic attraction and that was the reason why we managed to visit this place and wander the streets looking for those art pieces.
Most of these different murals drawn on the walls of the streets are related to the period of The Troubles since this neighborhood has been the focal point of almost all the events of The Troubles. The Troubles was an ethno-nationalist conflict in Northern Ireland during the late 20th century which was also known as the Northern Ireland Conflict. This conflict was mainly political and nationalistic but sometimes it was fueled by some historical events along the way
With the effort exerted by Bogside Artists, there are now 12 large wall murals drawn on the street walls of this small neighborhood and which the last one of them was completed in 2008. With all these different drawings found on the walls, this place has been referred to as The People's Gallery and which include The Petrol Bomber, Bernadette, Bloody Sunday, Bloody Sunday Commemoration, Death of Innocence, Hunger Strike, Operation Motorman, The Saturday Matinee, Civil Rights, Peace Mural, The Runner, and A Tribute to John Hume. Every single one of these different murals is drawn for a reason and to tell a specific story about the history of Bogside when it comes to The Troubles time.
There are different drawings from these which might be related to the same incidence or event but which might be telling a different story; there was this one for example related to the Bloody Sunday incident of those 14 people killed during a civil rights demonstration, and there is also another one related to the same day but which is about the face or portraits of those different 14 people along with drawing a leaf around them; 14 leaves, each one to resemble one of those victims.
Walking through streets that carry these different pieces and murals of art will definitely let one wonder about those who have been behind such creativity and ideas. Bogside Artists is a trio of mural painters from Derry, Londonderry and who are Tom Kelly, William Kelly, and Kevin Hasson; they are those three painters who transformed the walls of Bogside to this beautiful scenery which we are exposed to and not just that, but they tend to deliver something of meaning, something related to the history of Derry.
Those murals drawn in the streets of Bogside neighborhood are the most famous work for Bogside Artists, and which is all about the sectarian violence and the civil rights protests during the time of The Troubles in Northern Ireland - and we have to say that we were more than excited while watching all these drawings and experiencing the art that these three artists managed to deliver.
If you already know about the history of the place and know what used to happen during the time of The Troubles then you could just head to Bogside and wander the streets there in Derry to experience those murals and know the stories they tend to deliver, but if you don't know much about this period of time then there are two different things to do: you will either have to read about this history in order to understand every single mural, or else walk the place with a guide or someone who knows about these things well enough.
The idea of street murals is always fascinating, you walk by one of them and you feel as if you have seen the most beautiful thing in the whole world. There are other murals in Northern Ireland which are also becoming famous such as the Peace Wall in Belfast ( the murals and artwork in the Cathedral Quarter in Belfast ( the Tall Ships mural in Belfast ( and also The Son of Protagoras Mural which is found in Belfast as well (
Walking by any of these different murals - or graffiti as they are referred to more - will also leave you stunned by the art you are seeing displayed on the street walls and that is exactly the same with Bogside in Derry.

Derry, also known as Londonderry, is a city on the River Foyle in Northern Ireland. It’s known for the intact 17th-century Derry’s Walls with 7 gates. Within the walls, spired St. Columb’s Cathedral displays artefacts from the 1688–9 Siege of Derry. Near the Peace Bridge, the Tower Museum has city views and historical exhibits. Huge stained-glass windows adorn the neo-Gothic red sandstone Guildhall.
Derry is the second-largest city in Northern Ireland and the fourth-largest city on the island of Ireland. The name Derry is an anglicisation of the Old Irish name Daire (modern Irish: Doire) meaning oak grove. In 1613, the city was granted a Royal Charter by King James I and gained the London prefix to reflect the funding of its construction by the London guilds. While the city is more usually known colloquially as Derry, Londonderry is also commonly used and remains the legal name.
The old walled city lies on the west bank of the River Foyle, which is spanned by two road bridges and one footbridge. The city now covers both banks (Cityside on the west and Waterside on the east). The district administered by Derry City and Strabane District Council contains both Londonderry Port and City of Derry Airport.
Derry is close to the border with County Donegal, with which it has had a close link for many centuries. The person traditionally seen as the founder of the original Derry is Saint Colmcille, a holy man from Tír Chonaill, the old name for almost all of modern County Donegal, of which the west bank of the Foyle was a part before 1610. In 2013, Derry was the inaugural UK City of Culture, having been awarded the title in 2010.

Top best places to visit in Derry, Northern Ireland
Derry or, more officially, Londonderry is the second largest city of Northern Ireland.
The city is also nicknamed the Maiden City by virtue of the fact that its walls were never breached despite being besieged on three separate occasions.
Derry is the only remaining walled city in Ireland that is completely intact and it is one of the finest examples of a walled city in Europe.
There are many historical buildings that can be visited when walking down the City Walls.
St Columb’s Cathedral is the mother church of the Ireland Diocese of Derry.
Situated along the City Walls, First Derry Presbyterian Church has recently been re-opened and is now used as a place of worship.
Another admirable church of great importance is the neo-Gothic St Augustine’s Church.
Located within the historic walls Tower Museum, the main museum of the city, tells the story of the city from prehistory to the present.
Right in the center of Derry is a monument dedicated to the citizens who lost their lives during World War I, the Diamond War Memorial.
In the Bogside neighborhood is a historical landmark, a free-standing gable wall, that commemorates Free Derry.
In the same area of the Free Derry Museum is the Bloody Sunday Memorial.
But the Bogside is best known for its large political murals found on the walls of Free Derry Corner.
A more contemporary sculpture in the city, known as Hands Across the Divide, serves as a symbol of the two communities coming together.
Outside of the city walls are many important landmarks worth visiting, such as:
St Eugene’s Cathedral, where there is the Roman Catholic minster.
St Columba’s Church Long Tower, the Roman Catholic Church with the beautiful altar.
And the Guildhall, a large hall where many social and political events have been held.
The Guildhall is located between City Walls and the River Foyle.

-- | LYRICS | --
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
But she fell in love with an English man
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
Said baby I just want to dance
I met her on Grafton street right outside of the bar
She shared a cigarette with me while her brother played the guitar
She asked me what does it mean the Gaelic ink on your arm?
Said it was one of my friend’s songs do you want to drink on?
She took Jamie as a chaser, Jack for the fun
She got Arthur on the table, with Johnny riding as shot gun
Chatted some more, one more drink at the bar
Then put Van on the jukebox, got up to dance, you know
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
But she fell in love with an English man
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
Said baby I just want to dance
With my pretty little Galway Girl
You’re my pretty little Galway Girl
You know she beat me at darts and then she beat me at pool
And then she kissed me like there was nobody else in the room
As last orders were called, was when she stood on the stool
After dancing the céilí, singing to trad tunes
I never heard Carrickfergus ever sung so sweet
Acapella in the bar using her feet for a beat
Oh I could have that voice playing on repeat for a week
And in this packed out room, swear she was singing to me
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
But she fell in love with an English man
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
Said baby I just want to dance
My pretty little Galway girl
My my my my my my my Galway girl
My my my my my my my Galway girl
My my my my my my my Galway girl
Now we’ve outstayed our welcome and it’s closing time
I was holding her hand, her hand was holding mine
Our coats both smell of smoke, whisky and wine
As we fill up our lungs with the cold air of the night
I walked her home then she took me inside
Finish some Doritos and another bottle of wine
I swear I’m going to put you in a song that I write
About a Galway girl and a perfect night
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
But she fell in love with an English man
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
Said baby I just want to dance
My pretty little Galway girl
My my my my my my my Galway girl
My my my my my my my Galway girl
My my my my my my my Galway girl
Belfast and Derry, Northern Ireland
On day two, we take a trip to Derry in Northern Ireland. There we tour the city walls and learn about the sectarian divisions in the country. We also visit the beautiful sights of the Giant's Causeway. I hope you enjoy the journey.

Walking the Foyle Peace Bridge Derry/Londonderry
We're on our first 'Boys Day out,' train trip to Derry/Londonderry. Just off the train we three bus pass boys from Belfast head to the famous Peace Bridge. I have never seen this let alone cross it in real life. So this is a first for me!
The Peace Bridge is a cycle and foot bridge across the River Foyle in Derry, Northern Ireland. It opened on 25 June 2011, connecting Ebrington Square with the rest of the city centre. It is the newest of three bridges in the city, the others being the Craigavon Bridge and the Foyle Bridge. The 235 metres (771 ft) bridge was designed by AECOM, who also designed the Sutong Yangtze River Bridge, and Wilkinson Eyre Architects, who also designed the Gateshead Millennium Bridge. The bridge was opened to the public by EU Commissioner for Regional Policy, Johannes Hahn; accompanied by the First and deputy First Ministers, Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness; and the Irish Taoiseach Enda Kenny. It is intended to improve relations between the largely unionist 'Waterside' with the largely nationalist 'Cityside', by improving access between these areas, as part of wider regeneration plans. The bridge also provides a crossing over the railway line approaching Waterside station. The bridge was funded jointly by the Department for Social Development (NI), the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government along with matching funding, totalling £14 million, from the SEUPB Peace III programme.
