Things to do Belfast Troubles & Peace Free Tour

Walk through the heart of Belfast’s political history with a tour that explores both sides of the city’s divided past. Starting at Belfast City Hall, we provide an introduction to the events leading up to “The Troubles” before heading west to the Falls Road, a republican stronghold. There, you’ll discover the iconic Bobby Sands mural, the Divis Tower, the International Wall, and memorials dedicated to IRA members and political prisoners. We then cross the Peace Wall, still standing and separating communities, to explore the Shankill Road, the loyalist area with its own murals, memorials, and stories of identity and loss. You’ll learn about the role of paramilitaries, the impact of the conflict on daily life, and the slow road to peace through the Good Friday Agreement. Guided by a new generation of storytellers committed to impartiality, this walking tour is the perfect way to understand the human side of Belfast’s past while exploring its most powerful visual landmarks.
