A historic city with a modern outlook, the walled city of Londonderry - UK’s City of Culture 2013 - is one of Northern Ireland’s most exciting destinations. 

Delightfully compact with a whole host of attractions contained within the historic city walls, this multi-layered city is full of surprises. 

From the award-winning Tower Museum that gives a wonderful insight into the city’s history, to the astonishing array of excellent restaurants, lively pubs and great shops, to the haunting ancient city walls and scenic views across the River Foyle, Londonderry, County Londonderry is a remarkable destination that never, ever disappoints.

Why not join the city in celebrating Halloween at the Banks of the Foyle Hallowe'en Carnival. Witches, warlocks, ghouls, vampires and monsters mingle with fabulous floats of remarkable creativity in an unforgettable spectacle of colour, noise and excitement.
