On top of the opening of the new visitor centre, a new city walking tour “Unlock the Walled City” showcases the best the city has to offer! This 3-to-5 hour guided walking tour includes visits to the following locations:
• Tower Museum: this museum houses permanent exhibitions including the Story of Derry from earliest prehistory to present. It also has an open air viewing facility with stunning panoramic views of the city and River Foyle.
• The city walls: these walls are 1.5 km long and over 400 year old. They are the most complete in Ireland and one of the finest examples in Europe of Walled Cities.
• St Columb's Cathedral: this was the first Cathedral built after the Reformation. It is the city’s most historic building containing displays of artefacts from the Siege.
• The Siege Museum: here you can find a permanent display of the history of the Siege of Londonderry
