Derry, Ireland: A Car Hire Treasure In A City
Also called Londonderry, Derry is situated in the Northern Ireland which it was considered the second city and after Cork, Dublin, and Belfast. It is considered the fourth city in Ireland.
Close to the county of Donegal, Derry is situated in the bank of majestic River Foyle and considered as the oldest occupied land in the island of Ireland.
The two lands separated by River Foyle are connected by two large bridges such as Craivagon Bridge which is the oldest while Foyle Bridge is the most recently constructed. River Foyle is split up into two main vicinities: the Waterside and the Derry side/ the City side.
Dominantly nationalist and where most travelers go, the City side is located in the west of River Foyle. It contains the City Centre, the Guildhall, the City Wall, and Bogside which are all tourist attractions. Bringing your own vehicle or a car hire Derry is not suitable for the place, for it is small and more appropriate for pedestrians.
The waterside, on the other hand, is situated in the east of the river. While nationalist stays in the city, unionist resides on the east side.
Most tourist travel by airplane because they are more relaxed and it is faster when compared to other means of transportation. Located 7 miles north east of Derry if you take the main A2 Derry to the road of Coleraine, the city of Derry Airport caters for seven places such as: Liverpool, Bristol, Nothingham, Dublin, Glasgow, Prestwick, and London.
If you haven't book for any car hire Derry airport, it is not a problem since most of the place you'll be heading to is just a bridge away.
The Northern Ireland Railways provide daily trains heading to and from Belfast night and day. The journey will take over 2 hours from Belfast and Derry and vice-versa.
When you acquire a car rental Ireland and have plans of driving thorough Derry with our own vehicle, there are three ways to get there.
If you are coming from Belfast International Airport, just take the main road M2 to Templepatrick from the airport and follow the signs that will lead you to the road heading Derry.
If you'll be coming from Belfast, you can already head straight to M2. You have two options of what road to take: either A6 (via Dungiven) or the Antrim Coast (you'll pass the Giant's Causeway).
If you're from Dublin, take the M1 and follow the signs leading to Derry and Ardee. Afterwards, take N32 that is connected to N2. Continue N2 through Carrickmacross and Monaghan until you reach A5.Straight and drive northwards using Strabane and Omagh and soon you will arrive at Derry.
You will be using most of your time in adventure and exploration when you travel in Derry. All the sites tell the history of Derry, Ireland from Medieval up to the present. The City walls that walk of the past are very well-preserved today. Ireland considered it the "best-preserved" in the country.
Coming from the nationalist standpoint, the murals in Bogside is known as "Free Derry corner" where events about the towns past are all kept in one wall painting for everyone to see.
