Its name is synonymous with the republican community in the city, whilst the neighbouring Shankill Road is predominantly loyalist, separated from Falls Road by peace lines.

Additional Information

Embark on a remarkable tour through the alleyways with a guide who is possibly in his 50s and has spent each day fighting for survival. While every city has its retail and café culture, Belfast holds a distinct history after emerging from three decades of strife. Your guides are the original drivers who had the duty of navigating their neighborhoods through the gunfire and explosives of THE TROUBLES, risking their lives every time they sat in their black cabs.

Northern Ireland is renowned for the murals painted in nearly every corner of the nation. These images of IRA, UVF murals are frequently broadcast on global news or used as backdrops for interviews. They often demonstrate the history and political perspectives of both sides and serves as a means of laying claim to territory. Though these graffiti might seem threatening, they have evolved into a major tourist attraction as much as any regular attractions within Belfast and beyond.
