- Brenda KLisburn, UK50 contributionsWalking the Derry Walls is a wonderful experience and well worth a visit.

A must do!!Written January 15, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Brenda KLisburn, UK50 contributionsA warm welcome from the families of those who were gunned down awaits you as you enter the museum.

- DavidC856Alloa, UK696 contributionsEpic guided tour by Siobhan. I would have loved a wee go on the organ! This place is fascinating. A lot to take in. Good for adultsWritten November 22, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- theisBelfast, UK911 contributionsVisited to see the Peace Heroines exhibit, also went around the main Story of Derry and La Trinidad Valencera exhibitions.
You need a fair bit of time to do these justice, there’s lots to read and loads of audios visual items. Each exhibition was well presented and very informative. At the end there is an interactive room for children which looked very entertaining and educational.
There are super views from the top of the tower which you access on route to the La Trinidad Valencera exhibition.
There is also an item on the Spitfire which was excavated in 2011 as part of the BBC dog for WWII programme.
There is an entrance fee, but the value for money is well worth it.Written January 23, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The bridge lit up at night is really pretty. The gentle curves of the bridge make it all that more interesting. It's an easy walk and the views towards Derry/Londonderry are great.Written December 6, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Pete M1 contributionI went in search of my great great grandfather's grave. I approached a group of men working and noticed many oglaigs including Martin mcguiness so it was the republican plot. They were very helpful pointing me in the right direction for my great great grandfather's grave and a cousins who was killed in the 80s. I found the graves then walked to the city centre via free derry corner which with its murals and memorials evokes the areas tumultuous pastWritten December 4, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Gunther2223 contributionsGreat way to see the compact centre from above and closeby, but the first hand information on recent troubles was very intresting and moving and is key for this experience.

- Tadhg PolócLewistown, PA15 contributionsMy visit was highlighted by the staff at the cathedral the day I visited. These staff (who are volunteers and parishioners) gave me a tour of the cathedral and chapter house, and one even took time to show me the United States flag that had been donated by US Sailors and Marines during their stay in Londonderry/Derry during World War II. The churchyard is also beautiful, and my wife spent hours taking pictures of its natural beauty.Written October 1, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Co-operation Ireland1 contributionWe had the pleasure of working with the Millennium Forum to hold a large scale event on 16th & 17th January 2023 - Autism: Belonging & Inclusion in Youthwork Conference. During planning and in the run up to the event communication was prompt and nothing was too much trouble for Paul and the team. Over the two days we found the staff to be super helpful, friendly and more than attentive to the events team as well as speakers/facilitators and delegates. The catering provided was first class as was the technical support. Everyone went above and beyond and we would like to thank management and staff of the Forum for making it such an enjoyable and positive experience for all involved.
