What You Will Do
Although little known to most, today's Belfast is still a divided city. About 25 kilometers of physical wall separates two religious communities that live side by side. For more than 30 years, this controversial period known as "The Troubles" has marked the city and its residents. Very few people - if there were any - were those who did not suffer violence or chaos in this area.
From this political revolt an unusual area emerged, both communities paint murals in their neighborhoods, murals that tell their story, their political ideals, their culture.
Explore closely, on foot, both sides of the Peace Wall and the world-famous murals of Belfast - a city that earned its reputation as the world's largest outdoor art gallery - and listen to the stories behind them.

Falls Road
1 hour 30 minutes
The area surrounding Falls Road is known as the "Gaeltacht" area, where some locals speak the Irish language and is a sign of the Irish culture they wish to preserve. During our tour of this area, we will witness visible signs of the desire of this community to be part of the Republic of Ireland. We will visit the International Wall, the Bobby Sands mural, the Remembraza Garden of the volunteers of the local IRA and Bombay Street, where the problem exploded in 1969.
