Almost next to the "quiet meadows" is this very large breech-loading gun from the 1880s, which served for the city's defense.

Silent Meadow A memorial intended to commemorate the dark and cruel times of this city. The interplay between colors and "decay."

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.

Dunluce castle is nice to see, but it is not located in the centre of Derry - the highlight here is completely wrong.

From Belfast International Airport, Derry is reached after a change in Antrim (15 min by bus) and 90 min by train. Right on the river, on the Waterside but close to a bridge that takes you to the other side, close to the center.
