The city wall can be walked all the way around the city and offers interesting views. You can see the churches, down to the Bogside, the main street with the bunkered court, and the beautiful Guildhall. You can also see the curbs of the different districts, which are colored according to their affiliation. While the scenery seemed a bit threatening on our first visit in the 1990s, this seems to have given way to a peaceful openness, the architectural expression of which has become the beautiful, curved, connecting Peace Bridge.
