The Experience
What your day looks like
Welcome to the historic city of Derry – or Londonderry, depending on who you ask. This is a city rich in complex history, filled with locals who’ll invite you to stay and "enjoy the craic." This self-guided GPS audio tour takes you on a full circuit of the city's 400-year-old walls. Along the way, you’ll discover famous historical and cultural sights and hear suggestions for places to return to for longer visits. You may know a bit about the city from the comedy series Derry Girls, and we’ll stop at the popular mural dedicated to the show. But you’ll also hear about: - St. Columba (Colmcille), who established his monastery here in 542 AD - The Great Siege of Derry in 1688–1689 - The Troubles, which shaped life here from 1969 to 1994 - The city’s role in World War II and the Battle of the Atlantic - Immigration during the Plantation of Ulster - Emigration during the Irish Potato Famine (1845–1849)
