Belfast is infamous as an open-air gallery, with hundreds of murals painted on walls throughout the city, especially in the West. Let me take you through these once war-torn streets and tell you the history behind the murals and also my personal experience growing up in this neighborhood during its most recent troubled past and our journey to peace and reconcilliation We will visit the Peace wall which still divides the working class communities of the catholic Falls and protestant Shankill, and pass through it's gates, which are still opened and closed daily. I will show you the wall where President Clinton, and the Dalia Lama signed their names but more importantly Rihanna (joking) This tour is becoming the most popular tour in Ireland and has been featured on many TV programmes, like Lonely Planet and other media outlets. Highlights include The International Wall, Clonard Memorial Garden & Bombay Street, The Peace Wall, Falls & Shankill Murals and Crumlin Road Jail & Courthouse.
After pick-up, you will be taken to our first destination, Divis Tower, the site where the last conflict in Belfast started and the location of our initial mural. Next, we will journey a short distance to the International Wall, which features several murals that shed light on global political and social issues. A visit to the Republican Museum is scheduled (closes at 2pm). Following that, you will see the renowned mural of hunger striker Bobby Sands, reputed to be the most photographed mural globally. The tour will then lead you to Bombay Street, which was devastated in 1969, before you cross the Peace Wall into the Shankill area. At the Peace Wall, you'll have the opportunity to leave your own message, joining the ranks of President Clinton, the Dalai Lama, and hundreds of thousands of others. You will also view the Bayardo Memorial and explore the Hugh Smyth Peace Garden. As we move through the neighbourhood, you will observe various murals. Lastly, the tour includes a visit to Milltown Cemetery
