Derry, or as it’s officially called, Londonderry, is the second-largest city in Northern Ireland and one of the finest examples of a walled city in Europe. If you’re exploring the country, Derry is definitely worth a visit and you can go directly from Belfast City Airport to Derry by taking an airport taxi, the bus or the train.
Taking an airport taxi from the rank or pre-booking a personalised private transfer is the fastest and most convenient option to get from Belfast City Airport to Derry. It takes about 1 hour and 25 minutes to cover the 117 km (73 mi) distance by taxi and you can expect to pay on average £100 (€115) for up to 4 passengers.
If taking a taxi seems like an expensive option and you have more time to spare, you can choose the bus or the train for your trip. Both options are more cost-effective and the trip with either takes 2 hours and 40 minutes. The trip by bus from Belfast City Airport to Derry costs £16.20 (€18.80) per traveller and you’ll need to take two different bus lines. For the trip by train, the fare amounts to £14 (€16.20) and again, you’ll need to change lines once.
