From the best views to the best pint, here are our top picks of places to visit in Co. Londonderry.

Just a short walk from the historic Guildhall and the city’s 400-years old walls, this 235-meter bridge connects Ebrington Square with the city centre. Opened in 2011, the Peace Bridge was designed by AECOM and Wilkinson Eyre Architects, and its elegant curves represent the coming together of two communities once divided by centuries of conflict. Funded by the EU PEACE III Programme, it has won several awards and played a key role in the city’s regeneration during its time as the UK City of Culture in 2013. Whether walking or cycling across, the Peace Bridge offers stunning views and stands as a powerful reminder of the city’s journey toward reconciliation, making it an essential stop for any visitor to Ireland.
