3 Hour Ultimate Political Tour
Learn about Belfast’s bloody past, captured in colourful murals.
For a country that’s only 100 years old, Northern Ireland’s politics is unique.
Many visitors to Northern Ireland have grown up watching our country on the news for the wrong reasons.
The list is endless: a 30-year conflict, bombs going off, civil rights protests, riots, contentious parades, paramilitary murals, senseless murders.
But what you mightn’t know is that modern-day Northern Ireland is quite different.
We don’t hide from our past, but we embrace it.
Since the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, peace has replaced violence in Northern Ireland, and the ballot box has replaced the Armalite.
But you’ll still find daily reminders of our fractured past; through political murals and 25-foot-high peace walls that are still in place today.
While we’ve enjoyed peace, there are still divisions between the Catholic and Protestant communities.
As a result, peace walls are maintained even today to stop both communities from attacking each other.
