Learn about the Siege of Derry, the history of the city’s shirt-making industry, and the importance of the River Foyle. Climb to the top of the tower for panoramic views of the city and the surrounding area.

Take a leisurely walk along the Peace Bridge, a stunning landmark that spans the River Foyle and connects the two sides of the city. As you stroll across this iconic bridge, enjoy views of the city skyline and the surrounding countryside. The bridge is particularly beautiful at sunset when the lights are reflected in the river.
