Plan Your Trip to Derry
A city with walls, memories, and plenty of soul. Derry is Northern Ireland's hidden gem – where history and creativity go hand in hand.
Derry – Where History Meets the Present
Derry, also known as Londonderry, is one of Ireland's oldest cities – and also one of the most vibrant. Here you can walk on medieval city walls, discover artistic murals, and feel the presence of history in every alley. At the same time, Derry is a youthful city at heart – full of music, energy, and optimism.
City Walls and Street Art
The most famous landmark is the intact city wall from the 1600s. Walk all the way around and enjoy panoramic views of both old and new. In the Bogside area, you will find the well-known murals that tell the city's political history – moving, powerful, and important.
A City with Culture in Its Blood
Derry was named UK City of Culture in 2013, and it shows. There are theaters, galleries, and live music almost every night. Don’t miss festivals like the Halloween Carnival – one of the largest in Europe – or jazz and literature events that fill the streets with creativity.
Food, Pubs, and the People
Derry is also a city for food lovers. Local ingredients, cozy cafes, and classic pubs make every meal an experience. And the people? Friendly, talkative, and proud of their city – you’ll feel right at home.
Best Time to Visit Derry
Derry is charming year-round but especially lively during summer festivals and the colorful Halloween celebrations in autumn. Spring and autumn are perfect for sightseeing with mild temperatures and fewer tourists.
