Murals
Painted gable ends are one of the most striking sights in Belfast. Political murals carry messages about history, identity and causes from around the world, and seeing them up close brings that home.
Belfast’s political story, seen from a black taxi.

History, told where it happened
Belfast’s political past is written on its walls. A black taxi political tour takes you through the city to see the murals and walls for yourself and hear what they mean, rather than reading about them in a book.
It is a clear, personal way into a city that many visitors find hard to make sense of from the outside, and a chance to ask the questions you have been wondering about.
What the tour looks at
Walls
Walls and gates still separate some neighbourhoods. Hearing why they went up, and why some remain, is one of the clearest ways into the city’s recent history.
Questions
A tour in a black taxi is a conversation as much as a sightseeing trip. Bring your questions about the Troubles, the peace process or the Belfast you see today.
