Londonderry, often called Derry, is a city steeped in history and charm, uniquely surrounded by remarkably well-preserved 17th-century walls. In fact, it holds the title of being the only completely walled city in all of Ireland. Strolling along these ancient ramparts offers visitors not only a glimpse into the past but also breathtaking panoramic views of the winding River Foyle and the lively streets below.

Food and drink play an important role in Londonderry’s culture, with traditional Irish pubs, modern cafes, and restaurants serving locally sourced dishes. Visitors can enjoy favorites like seafood chowder, boxty (a traditional potato pancake), and freshly baked soda bread. The Walled City Brewery provides a unique tasting experience, offering beers inspired by the city’s heritage.

For those who seek the beauty of nature, Londonderry is surrounded by landscapes that will take your breath away. A short drive from the city, the famous Causeway Coastal Route leads to some of Northern Ireland's most iconic and stunning sites, including the awe-inspiring Giant’s Causeway and the picturesque Mussenden Temple. And right within the city, St. Columb’s Park provides a peaceful green retreat, where you can unwind with a leisurely stroll, enjoy the tranquility, and soak up the natural beauty that defines this captivating region.
