Things to do in City of Derry Airport
Derry is Northern Ireland's second city and the only completely intact walled city in Ireland and Britain, with 17th-century walls never breached in 400 years. The 1.5 km walkable rampart circuit gives views over the Bogside neighborhood — site of the Bloody Sunday massacre in 1972 — and the Free Derry Corner mural. The Museum of Free Derry tells the civil rights and Troubles history from the community's perspective. The Giant's Causeway and Causeway Coastal Route — among Ireland's most dramatic landscapes — are about 1 hour northeast.
