Interesting place for a quick stop to see the murals. Huge history attached to the area in terms of Ireland and the troubles. Worth a drive to/by.

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.

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

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!
