The Museum of Free Derry is a fascinating institution with collections and displays on momentous parts of Ireland’s history. The Irish conflict between unionists who wanted to stay in the United Kingdom and nationalists resulted in bloody battles in the second half of the 20th century. Learn about the societal changes to Derry during the civil rights movement of the 1960s and the Irish Troubles a decade later.

The city covers both banks of the River Foyle, with Protestants largely living on the east bank and Catholics on the west. The impressive Peace Bridge is attempting to bring the two sides closer together and, so far, it seems to be working.

Built using red sandstone and largely consisting of a cavernous hall and clock tower, the Guildhall was the administrative hub for the Londonderry Corporation and today serves as the city’s council chamber and Mayor’s Parlour, making it the last remaining working guildhall in Ireland.
