Must see attractions in Derry (Londonderry), Northern Ireland
"In the old centre of Derry a street and square from the 18th and 19th centuries have rediscovered their old-time charm. This small quarter deserves a wander for its artisan craft shops, cafes and restaurants. There are quaint Georgian houses, staircases, gas lamps and wrought-iron footbridges, and a host of businesses within a couple of minutes on foot."
"If you want a real taste of how the city looked in the 18th century, the Craft Village is the place for you. An actual reconstruction of a street from that time, it plays host to a string of shops selling traditional food, books, handmade items and more. The Craft Village is on Sackville Street, next to the Peace Bridge."
"Back in the Bogside neighbourhood there’s a monument at the junction of Rossville Street, Lecky Road and Fahan Street. The message “You Are Now Entering Free Derry” was painted in 1969 by a local activist and marks the entrance to what was a self-declared autonomous Nationalist part of the city in the early stages of the Troubles. Initially this was part of a row of terrace houses, but those have been demolished, leaving a single standing wall in the central reservation of Lecky Road, which is today a dual carriageway."
"The Free Derry Corner is one of the most popular landmarks in the city. It is based at the foot of the famous Bogside community. It is a freestanding wall that commemorates ‘Free Derry’, the self-proclaimed nationalist independence area during 1968 – 1972 and often celebrates modern-day resistance movements."
"Think Nutella crepes, milkshakes, homemade ice cream & divine coffee that even comes with a mini ice cream cone on the side... Opening their doors in 2017 on Ferryquay Street, Joe Jackson's is home to the nicest ice cream in the city, if not the whole north west!"

"Brickwork is one of those restaurants that maintain your interest for return visits because the menu is so vast. It stretches from the specialised Asian cuisine, combining it with a fresh, local taste. The staff make what is already a wonderful restaurant and create an atmosphere and standard that makes it one of the best places to eat in Derry."
"The Chinese takeaway known for their mega share boxes & bringing you Mr Changs tuckshop (which sells everything from chocolate & crisps to the the odd random household neccessity inebtween) have joined the card. Ricebowl Racecourse Road are now offering cardholders 10% off Mon-Wed, so you can get your chicken ball specials for a little less #ChaChing!"
