Londonderry, also known as Derry, is Northern Ireland’s second largest city.

Derry is famous for being Ireland’s only remaining intact walled city and one of the finest in Europe. You can walk alongside the historic walls and visit local museums to learn about the city’s turbulent past, including the unrest surrounding the Civil Rights Movement. Or choose to explore the surrounding countryside — scenic vistas of rolling green hills dotted with old stone walls and golden sands lining the coast.
