Destination highlights: Londonderry is the only remaining completely walled city in Ireland and one of the finest examples of walled cities in Europe. The Derry North Atlantic Museum charts the city's development and its port, once a major point of departure for emigrants during the Great Famine.

Do not miss: The spectacular natural wonder and mythology of the Giant's Causeway. A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1986, it is composed of 40,000 basalt columns, and it is said that the Causeway was formed during an argument between warring giants.
