Belfast political walking tour
Explore the most turbulent period in Belfast's history.
Discover how tensions escalated, leading to outbreaks of violence and terrorism in the 1970s.
Witness how Belfast residents pay tribute to their heroes through murals in their neighbourhoods.
Visit the areas where everything unfolded: citizen protests, attacks against the civilian population, and confrontations between the IRA and Protestant paramilitary groups.
We'll visit significant sites for both sides of the conflict, such as the International Peace Wall and memorials built by each faction.
The tour will conclude by examining the peace process in Northern Ireland and the decline of violence in the streets.
