You climb into a black taxi and the city reshapes itself around the windows: painted murals stare back from brick, narrow streets hum with commuter traffic, and the River Lagan keeps pushing the city toward the lough. The driver — your personal guide — speaks with a voice threaded through memory and local slang, pointing to the Falls Road murals, the silhouetted outline of Crumlin Road Gaol and the sweep of the Shankill where sectarian lines are still visible in architecture and public art.
