Galway Free Walking Tour

On the day of the tour, we'll meet at the scheduled time next to the Spanish Arch and commence our free tour of Galway. The tour will explore key spots in the cultural capital of Ireland.

The tour will begin through the lively city of Galway, discussing its transition from a small fishing village to a modern university town. It serves as a gateway to the renowned Connemara National Park.

We will navigate the charming narrow streets while sharing interesting insights about the city, established by 14 merchant families in the fifteenth century, leaving behind landmarks such as Lynch Castle and the Collegiate Church of St. Nicholas.

The route includes a visit to the church, where we will discuss claims that Christopher Columbus visited before his first journey to the Americas.

In addition, we will explore the Galway Harbor, with history dating back to the 12th century when Clan O'Connor constructed a fort at the mouth of the Corrib River.

Two hours later, we will conclude the free tour of Galway at a lookout point with views of the river for souvenir photos.
