Romantic Restaurants, Getaway Places in Londonderry

"The Tower Museum is an award-winning facility that has been open to the public since 1992 and is aptly located within the historic walls. It’s another of the top things to do in Derry. There are two permanent exhibitions, entitled ‘The Story of Derry’ and ‘An Armanda Shipwreck’, the latter being the story of one of the largest ships in the Spanish Armada which sank off the Donegal coast in 1588."

"Head straight to the 5th floor of this award-winning museum inside a replica 16th-century tower house for a view from the top. Then work your way down through the excellent Armada Shipwreck exhibition, and the..."

"One of the most recent additions to Derry’s dining scene, Walled City Brewery – a brewery and restaurant in one and the first of its kind in Northern Ireland – opened its doors in May 2015 with veteran brewer James Huey and his wife Louise at the helm. Small pinxho-style eats, such as mini Thai pork cakes or Donegal smoked salmon blinis are served alongside bigger dishes like house-smoked, beer-braised pulled pork with gherkin and slaw in a brioche bun. Naturally, Walled City’s craft brews make the perfect accompaniment to its eclectic eats – try the flagship pale ale Boom or its refreshing pilsner, Kicks."

"The museum is run mostly by relatives of those who lost their lives in the horrific events that took place on Bloody Sunday and each had a personal story to tell. Our guide told the story of his grandfather Patrick Doherty who was shot in the back while crawling on his hands and knees to try to avoid getting caught in the crossfire, during, what had begun as, a peaceful civil rights march. Patrick was 31, had 6 children and was unarmed."

"The Museum of Free Derry opened in 2007 in order to tell the story of what happened in our city during the period 1968 – 1972, and is popularly known as ‘Free Derry.' The museum includes exhibits that look at the civil rights era, the Battle of the Bogside, Internment, Bloody Sunday, and Operation Motorman."

"Just off Rossville St, this excellent museum chronicles the history of the Bogside, the Civil Rights Movement and the events of Bloody Sunday through photographs, newspaper reports, film clips, interactive..."

"Opened in 1995 by husband and wife team Claudio and Maureen Antonucci, La Sosta has been delighting local diners with its delicious Italian cuisine for over two decades. Inspired by the culinary traditions of Claudio’s native Abruzzo with a distinctly modern twist, La Sosta’s menu features standout dishes like the risotto starter with mascarpone and red cabbage and the seabream main with roasted fennel, olives, cockles and thyme. With indulgent treats like traditional homemade tiramisu and hot chocolate pudding with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce to finish, diners with a sweet tooth will want to save room for dessert."

"A stalwart of Derry’s eating out scene for two decades, La Sosta on Carlisle Road holds pride of place as the city’s original Italian restaurant. With an entrance hidden down an alleyway on Carlisle Road, once inside diners are treated to a sweeping panorama of the River Foyle. The decor inside the restaurant makes it feel like the kitchen of an Italian farmhouse, complete with wooden timber beams running across the ceiling and an oak sideboard for wine storage."

"Central yet tucked away in a small, out-of-the-way alley, La Sosta is a family-owned Italian restaurant that is worth a little extra effort to find. Depending on where you request to be seated, you might be able to dine with a direct view over the river."
