some nice murals capturing the feelings of the community in this republican heartland. place is worth a visit most locals drive or walk thorugh it and never notice the murals etc but to a visiting tourist well worth a bus tour through the area just to say you been here.

The only reason you will have any need to visit here is because of the history that has gone on so as long as you make it a brief visit you will complete the political tour of Belfast by stopping here.

If you want to be depressed and wonder what it was all about then go ahead It is a soul less working class area with nothing to offer. I lived there and got out

We spent the day exploring the Falls Road area having heard so much about it and having read several books on the "troubles". It's a great area to explore but please before you arrive check with someone perhaps in your hotel or tourist board that there isn't a demonstration going on. People with cameras who are not known may not... More

I visited Belfast with my 75 yr old Aunt in Nov 2012 - we only had two days and I wish that I could have stayed longer. We started our day with a Black Cab tour - Pat our driver was informative and was able to answer questions both from my Aunt who had limited history of the area and... More

Our tourguide kindly took our group along Falls Road and respectfully explained a lot of the history of Belfast through the years. The experience was truly unforgettable, and all of us on the tour were grateful that our guide offered us this opportunity to learn and experience Belfast in a very real way.

We visited with the Black Taxi Tour and was delighted to visit the Falls Road. Often heard it when we saw the news. We didn't have much time here, but we did see one of the Nationalist painters. A number of murals and road signs were in Irish which was surprising!

one of the drab arterial routes into belfast centre. large murals but little else. mirrored in other areas...... perhaps worth at quick bus tours that belfast has on offer.

Before writing this review I browsed through what others thought of the Falls Road as a tourist attraction in Belfast. The murals are fascinating and yes the area does have a rough and rather depressing feel to it. However it must be remembered that these places despite their appeal to tourists are first and foremost the homes of ordinary citizens... More

Must visit and talk with folks on the street, in the shops to see how it was and how it is since the Good Friday Agreement.
