The Peace Bridge elegantly arcs across the River Foyle, connecting the city's largely unionist Waterside with the nationalist Cityside. Opened in 2011, its S-shape design represents the handshake of peace, and it has become an iconic symbol of reconciliation. Walking or cycling across the bridge offers panoramic views of the river and the city skyline. At night, the bridge is illuminated, creating a striking reflection on the water. It's a popular spot for photographers and a must-visit for those interested in Derry's modern history.
Don't miss
- Walk or cycle across the bridge for sweeping views of the River Foyle and cityscape
- Photograph the bridge at dusk when its lights reflect on the water
