@DerryVisitor
Derry~Londonderry stands today in the midst of a
compelling transformation that has seen the city emerge
from a long and colourful history to showcase its beauty
and brilliance to the world.
The 2013 UK City of Culture celebrations
gave us an unprecedented opportunity
to present ourselves with distinction as
a vibrant European city with a unique
historical, geographical and cultural
offering.
The Lonely Planet Guide listed
Derry~Londonderry as the 4th best city
in the world to visit during 2013 and
spectacular set piece events aŠracted
over 1 million visitors from more than
80 countries.
The city grasped this opportunity and
delivered an unprecedented calendar of
events and made the most of its unique
heritage and local historical aŠractions
to create a wonderful stage on which to
reach out to the world and show what
we were capable of.
Today, the city is infused with a sense
of optimism, focus and energy to build
on the success of 2013 and continue to
capture the imagination and hearts of
visitors in 2014 and beyond!
Hello, failte, fair faa ye, and the warmest of welcomes
from Derry~Londonderry – a LegenDerry place of
unbridled beauty and brilliance that will deliver a
memorable visit to reinvigorate the soul and provide
a fresh perspective on life.
2013 was a memorable year in
Derry~Londonderry’s history – a
magical year of triumph, celebration
and transformation. Our year as the
first UK City of Culture has thrust us
onto the world stage and the people
of Derry have started to tell the world
their new story of hope, optimism and
achievement.
Our city is looking good and
feeling great and 2014 will be a

triumphant year that will confirm

WORLD FAMOUS MURALS
DOAGH VISITOR CENTRE & FAMINE VILLAGE
These unique wall murals are located throughout the city and are
symbolic of the different communities depictions of life through ’The
Troubles‘: Three local artists Tom Kelly, William Kelly and Kevin Hasson
(known as the Bogside Artists) have created to critical acclaim throughout
the world The People’s Gallery in the Bogside area of Derry. It is a series
of large-scale murals depicting the key events in Northern Ireland since
‘The Troubles’. The famous wall-paintings are located on Rossville St and
they present a window into the politics, people and history of Northern
Ireland. The majority of the Bogside Murals reflect events that occurred
in the Bogside in the past and one mural – The Peace Mural looks to the
future with the idealist image of a dove. The Fountain Estate close to the
City Walls is home to one of the oldest King Billy murals with many murals

for night time destinations. Like Blue Flag for
beaches, places that meet the standards can fly
the flag. Purple Flag centres are clean, safe and
convivial, with something for everyone.
The award of flags is based on an independent
assessment undertaken by trained assessors using
a rigorous and comprehensive set of standards for
the night time economy.
Located in the heart of the city mid-way between two of Derry’s most popular theatres, this venue is
also a popular spot for pre and après theatre drinks. And, if you love shopping then Badger’s Place
is the perfect place to take the weight off your feet mid-spree, situated as it is between Derry’s two
largest shopping centres. Serving local fresh produce to suit all tastes. Function rooms also available
for large parties of 130 plus. Great food, great value and great hospitality - what Badger’s sets out to
do, it does well!.
Purple Flag is run by the Association of Town
Centre Management (ATCM) in partnership with
industry, licensees, retailers, central and local
government, the police and consumers.
