Everyone agrees that a trip to Londonderry definitely warrants a visit to the Museum of Free Londonderry, a small, no frills museum centered on the civil rights movement and Bloody Sunday. There are letters, video footage, signs, banners and documents, with many of the volunteers related to those lost in this terrible tragedy. Tip: It is a very moving and solemn place of visit, and should take about an hour to go through the museum. While most people enjoy the museum, some visitors say that there is an overload of information, and that the tourguides are a little too close to the subject matter.
The Bloody Sunday Memorial is a black, granite obelisk which stands, bearing the names and ages of the 14 victims of Bloody Sunday, many of them only teenagers. It is very close to the site of the actual Bloody Sunday site, where 14 people who marched in a peaceful protest were shot dead by the British Army. Another important testament to the Troubles and to the local history of LondonLondonderry, visitors are well advised to pay their respects and visit this memorial.

Tip: The walls of Londonderry date back to the early 1600's, when they were built to defend the city of Londonderry from the Scottish and British. The only walled city in Ireland and one of the finest examples of a walled city in all of Europe, the walls simply must be visited. Most agree to allow yourself a few hours to walk alongside the walls, get a feel for the scenery, chat with the locals and stop to take some wonderful photos (as photo opportunities are abundant with so much beautiful scenery.) Many recommend a professional tour to help explain sites and local history, while others prefer just to read signs along the way.
The Tower Museum is another recommendation, housing treasured excavated from a sunken Spanish armada, and now housed in a model of a 16th century tower. Most of the city's focus is on ancient history, with some cool old mementos like bronze guns and personal artifacts. There is also some more modern history on the civil unrest in the 1960's and 70's, but many agree that the Free Museum of Londonderry is a better place to learn about this aspect of modern Londonderry history.
