Belfast was once at the heart of a bitter and bloody sectarian conflict that lasted over thirty years — a period known as “The Troubles”. This violence claimed over 3,500 lives and left more than 50,000 injured, leaving deep scars on the city and its people.
On this 1.5-hour political mural tour, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of this complex conflict. Your guide will take you through Catholic Republican and Protestant Loyalist communities, where powerful murals tell stories of identity, struggle, civil rights, and resistance. These murals serve as both cultural expressions and political statements — many unchanged since the height of the conflict.
You’ll hear first-hand accounts from local guides who lived through this era, giving you an authentic and raw perspective on what life was like during Northern Ireland’s most intense period of unrest.
???? Featuring free pickup from Belfast City Centre, your guide will drive you through the city’s divided neighborhoods, stopping at key mural sites to explain their meaning and history.
✍️ Expect to see murals pleading for peace and civil rights, tributes to monarchy, and others that depict violence and paramilitary presence.
You’ll also stand beside the imposing Peace Walls, 25 feet high and still separating Catholic and Protestant communities — a vivid reminder of how recent this history really is.
This tour is as educational and eye-opening as it is emotional. It’s not just about sightseeing — it’s about understanding. You’ll come away with insight, empathy, and the chance to photograph some of the most iconic political art in Europe.
