Attractions In Londonderry

Derry’s unique walled-in city layout presents a unique opportunity for a walking tour around its circumference and alongside the River Foyle. But if you have rented a car, there are lively pubs and fascinating historical tours to enjoy; the Siege of Derry, the Battle of Bogside, and Bloody Sunday all occurred here, yet its walls have never given way to a single siege. In other countries, pubs are a way to while away an evening, but in Derry, they’re cultural icons. Londonderry’s bars host lively music events and serve dishes with powerful culinary influences. Derry’s Guitar and Jazz festivals will keep music aficionados sated, while the week-long Foyle Film Festival satisfies cinephiles. If artisanal food thrills your palate, make sure you’re hungry before you stop by at the Walled City Market. Cowley Cooper Gallery and the Center for Contemporary Art will introduce you to the local artists of Northern Ireland, but after the sun sets, a stroll to the 2011 Peace Bridge is in order. There are frequently concerts there at sunset, and the famous Brown’s Restaurant is conveniently close.

Places To Visit Outside Londonderry

For long-term car rental, Londonderry is surrounded by 10 of the most exquisite towns in Northern Ireland. Bangor is a seaside resort area complete with its own yachting clubs and marinas. History buffs would be remiss if they didn’t give Carrickfergus a visit. As one of the oldest towns in Ireland, it will introduce you to the 12th and 13th-century landmarks, castles and museums dotted across the coast. Kilkeel is such a classic boating town you might think you’ve stepped into a dreamscape. This area is a hiker’s ultimate fantasy, offering mountain trails through rolling Irish hills. After all that serenity, you’ll be longing for a bustling break, and Manchester will give you an excellent dose of exactly that. Home to Granada Studios and one of the globe’s most spectacular libraries, travelers often liken Manchester to Harry Potter’s world.

Airport Car Rental

Londonderry is a mere 109 square kilometres large, even though it’s the second biggest city in Northern Ireland.
