Peace Bridge: Bridging the Divide, Connecting the City Guide
Experience the Peace Bridge, a stunning architectural marvel that symbolizes unity and reconciliation in Derry/Londonderry. This iconic bridge spans the River Foyle, connecting the predominantly nationalist Bogside with the predominantly unionist Waterside. Take a stroll across the bridge, admire the breathtaking views, and reflect on the city's journey towards peace and understanding. The Peace Bridge was officially opened in 2011 and has quickly become a symbol of hope and progress in Derry. Its design is intended to represent two hands reaching out to each other, symbolizing the coming together of the two communities. The bridge has played a significant role in fostering a sense of shared space and encouraging interaction between residents from different backgrounds. Walking across the Peace Bridge is a must-do activity for any visitor to Derry. Enjoy the panoramic views of the city, the River Foyle, and the surrounding landscape. Take photos of the bridge's unique architecture. Reflect on the bridge's symbolism and the city's ongoing efforts towards peace and reconciliation. The bridge is also a great starting point for exploring both sides of the city, with easy access to attractions on both the Bogside and Waterside.
