Belfast Troubles Political and Murals 2-hour Guided Taxi Tour

Your tour will take you to the Falls Road and the Shankill Road – two neighbourhoods in West Belfast that were notorious during the Troubles. Although the scar of the conflict can still be felt today, both areas are safe, vibrant, and welcome visitors. You’ll also pass through some of the 500 remaining security gates that are still in place and understand what purpose they still serve. The tour provides plenty of photo opportunities as it takes in both Protestant and Catholic communities. The murals were used to mark territory and tell the story of the conflict. Today they are an intrinsic part of our shared cultural heritage. Hear of Terror and Tragedies, Peace and Romance and what life was like growing up under the shadow of the Troubles. Visit local community memorial gardens where loved ones still mourn their dead. Feel the hope of our city too – how we’ve left The Troubles behind us in 1998 and how Belfast has flourished into one of the friendliest capital cities in the world.
